Objective: To assess safety of fertility treatments in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Design: Data from the multicentre French observational GR2 (Groupe de Recherche sur la Grossesse et les Maladies Rares) study (2014-ongoing).
Setting: Seventy-six centres in France.
Article Synopsis
- A study compared the effectiveness and safety of infliximab and cyclophosphamide as induction therapies for severe Behçet's syndrome involving major vascular or CNS issues.
- Infliximab showed a higher complete response rate (81%) compared to cyclophosphamide (56%), indicating it may be more effective.
- Additionally, infliximab had fewer adverse events (29.6%) compared to cyclophosphamide (64%), suggesting it may also be safer for patients.
Aims: To compare the safety and efficacy of methotrexate (MTX), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and azathioprine (AZA) in non-anterior sarcoidosis-associated uveitis.
Methods: Retrospective study including non-anterior sarcoidosis-associated uveitis according to the revised International Workshop on Ocular Sarcoidosis criteria. The primary outcome was defined as the median time to relapse or occurrence of serious adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation.
Objectives: Data about hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) levels during pregnancy are sparse. We assessed HCQ whole blood levels at first trimester of pregnancy as a potential predictor of maternal and obstetric/fetal outcomes in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Methods: We included pregnant SLE patients enrolled in the prospective GR2 study receiving HCQ, with at least one available first-trimester whole-blood HCQ assay.
