BICLA A) response rates and B) sustained responses over time. For A), the analyses were performed using stratified Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel. Missing data were imputed using multiple imputation assuming missing-at-random, and all results combined to obtain a single estimated treatment effect as per the Rubins rule. Nominal p-values: **<0.01; ***<0.001. For B), the Kaplan-Meier estimates for time to first BICLA response sustained through Week 52 are presented. Time to sustained BICLA response was defined as the time from first study treatment to the first BICLA response after which the patient remained a BICLA responder for ≥3 consecutive visits, including Week 52. Patients with no event were censored at the date of last assessment, date of last assessment before non-compliance for reasons related to global/country situations, or Week 52. Patients with missing intermittent visits were considered non-responders. Week 52 HR and 95% CIs were estimated

No I’m in UK - but if it could be related to an underlying condition you might reasonably be referred to eg rheumatology to check that out.

There are two main rheumatology texts, and I've coauthored chapters for the newest editions of both, so I wouldn't be able to choose. Harrison's it is.

In June, we reported some of the latest findings on chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for rheumatologic conditions such as lupus. In this report, we take a look at what may be coming down the pike in this area.

Hashimotos is still my only diagnosis. The only thing that is certain is that I likely do have one other autoimmune disease, *at least*.

But it’s just tests and more tests. And waiting on rheumatology in Feb.

I feel like ass most days. But I’m still hopeful!!!

Much less expensive than the biologics I was on. Rheumatology won’t prescribe until there’s more evidence and guidance
