Vedolizumab, Adalimumab, and Methotrexate Combination Therapy in Crohn's Disease (EXPLORER). Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2024; 22:1487-1496.e12. [PMID: 37743037 DOI: 10.1016/j.cgh.2023.09.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/09/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Although biologics have revolutionized the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD), an efficacy ceiling has been reached. Combining biologic therapies may improve remission rates. METHODS EXPLORER, a phase 4, single-arm, open-label study, evaluated triple combination therapy with vedolizumab (300 mg on day 1, weeks 2 and 6, and then every 8 weeks), adalimumab (160 mg on day 2, 80 mg at week 2, then 40 mg every 2 weeks), and methotrexate (15 mg weekly) in biologic-naïve patients with newly diagnosed, moderate- to high-risk CD. Endoscopic remission at week 26 (primary end point; Simple Endoscopic Score for CD ≤2), clinical remission at weeks 10 and 26 (secondary end point; Crohn's Disease Activity Index <150), and incidences of adverse events and serious adverse events were evaluated. RESULTS Among 55 enrolled patients, the mean CD duration was 0.4 years, the mean baseline Simple Endoscopic Score for CD was 12.6, and the mean baseline Crohn's Disease Activity Index was 265.5. At week 26, 19 patients (34.5%) were in endoscopic remission. At weeks 10 and 26, 34 (61.8%) and 30 patients (54.5%), respectively, were in clinical remission. Post hoc Bayesian analysis showed that the probabilities that triple combination therapy produced a higher endoscopic remission rate (33.5%; 95% credible interval, 22.4-45.7) than placebo (14%), vedolizumab monotherapy (27%), or adalimumab monotherapy (30%) were 99.9% or higher, 86.3%, and 71.4%, respectively. Six patients had serious adverse events. CONCLUSIONS Combination therapy resulted in endoscopic and clinical remission at week 26 in 34.5% and 54.5% of patients, respectively, with no safety signal related to the treatment regimen. This supports further evaluation of combination therapy in CD. CLINICALTRIALS gov number: NCT02764762.

Combination Therapy With Guselkumab and Golimumab in Patients With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis: Pharmacokinetics, Immunogenicity and Drug-Drug Interactions. Clin Pharmacol Ther 2024; 115:1418-1427.

Abstract
A proof-of-concept study with the combination of guselkumab and golimumab in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) has shown that the combination therapy resulted in greater efficacy than the individual monotherapies. The current analysis evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity of guselkumab and golimumab in both the combination therapy and individual monotherapies. Blood samples were collected to evaluate serum concentrations and immunogenicity of guselkumab and golimumab. Population PK (PopPK) models were developed to assess the effects of combination therapy and other potential covariates on the PK of guselkumab and golimumab. The guselkumab PK was comparable between monotherapy and combination therapy, whereas golimumab concentrations were slightly higher with combination therapy. The anti-guselkumab antibody incidence was low with both monotherapy and combination therapy, and guselkumab immunogenicity did not impact the clearance. Conversely, the anti-golimumab antibody incidence with combination therapy was lower than that for monotherapy. PopPK analysis suggested that the slightly higher golimumab concentrations with combination therapy were partially due to lower immunogenicity and thus lower clearance with combination therapy. C-reactive protein (CRP) was also a significant covariate on golimumab clearance. The greater improvement of inflammation with combination therapy, as shown by reductions in CRP, may have also contributed to the higher golimumab concentrations. Combination therapy slightly decreased the clearance of golimumab, but not guselkumab clearance, in patients with UC. Lower immunogenicity and greater improvement of inflammation with combination therapy were potential mechanisms for slightly increased golimumab concentrations with combination therapy as compared with golimumab monotherapy.

Abstract
Microbiota therapeutics that transplant faecal material from healthy donors to people with mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis have shown the potential to induce remission in about 30% of participants in small, phase 2 clinical trials. Despite this substantial achievement, the field needs to leverage the insights gained from these trials and progress towards phase 3 clinical trials and drug approval, while identifying the distinct clinical niche for this new therapeutic modality within inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) therapeutics. We describe the lessons that can be learned from past studies of microbiota therapeutics, from full spectrum donor stool to defined products manufactured in vitro. We explore the actionable insights these lessons provide on the design of near-term studies and future trajectories for the integration of microbiota therapeutics in the treatment of IBD. If successful, microbiota therapeutics will provide a powerful orthogonal approach (complementing or in combination with existing immunomodulatory drugs) to raise the therapeutic ceiling for the many non-responders and partial responders within the IBD patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data are limited on the safety and efficacy of combining advanced therapies for refractory patients with IBD. AIM To evaluate the real-world efficacy and safety of dual advanced therapy (DAT), combining 2 biologics or a biologic with a small molecule, in children and young adults with refractory IBD. METHODS Primary outcome of this single IBD center cohort was DAT remission (clinical and biomarker remission) at first assessment (T1). Secondary outcomes included remission at T2, if DAT de-intensification (De-I) occurred and T3, if T2 DAT re-intensification (Re-I) occurred. Efficacy and safety outcomes were described. RESULTS Of the 30 patients [43% female, 30% CD, median age of 18.3 [15.1-19.8] years], all 11 UST + TOFA achieved T1 remission; 6/10 De-I failed at T2; and 4/4 Re-I achieved T3 remission. Of 9 VDZ + TOFA, 6 achieved T1 remission; 5/6 De-I failed at T2; and 1/1 failed T3 Re-I. Of 4 UST + VDZ, 3 achieved T1 remission; 2/3 De-I failed at T2; and 0 had Re-I. Of 5 UST + UPA, 4 achieved T1 remission; 1/5 De-I failed at T2 but recaptured T3 remission post-Re-I. One VDZ + OZA achieved T1 remission and maintained T2 remission post-De-I to OZA monotherapy. At last follow-up, 43% were on original DAT, 17% on one of original DAT, and 40% neither. One UST + TOFA patient developed mild leukopenia and another developed septic arthritis and venous thromboembolism on VDZ + TOFA and prednisone. CONCLUSION Most children and young adults treated with DAT achieved remission with minimal safety events; however, de-intensification had limited success.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by unpredictable flare-ups and periods of remission. While several therapeutic options, such as anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF), anti-integrin, and interleukin (IL) 12/23 inhibitors, as well as IL-23 and Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, have been approved for CD treatment, a substantial number of patients fail to respond adequately or experience a loss of response over time. In recent years, the scientific community has been actively investigating novel agents to address these challenges and improve the management of CD. AREAS COVERED This comprehensive narrative review provides an overview of recent developments in CD treatment, summarizing phase 2 and phase 3 clinical trial data. We delve into the clinical efficacy and safety profiles of emerging therapies, encompassing JAK inhibitors, IL-23 inhibitors, anti-adhesion molecules, S1P1 receptor modulators, and combined targeted treatments. EXPERT OPINION The armamentarium of CD therapeutic agents is constantly expanding. We analyze pivotal findings from phase 2 and phase 3 CD treatment trials. We also underscore the existing gaps in therapy and the paramount role of ongoing research and innovation in CD management.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by an inappropriate and persistent inflammatory immune response and is often accompanied by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. For effective IBD treatment, there is a high demand for safe and targeted therapy that can be orally administered. In this study, we aimed to propose the use of inflamed colon-targeted antioxidant nanotherapeutics (ICANs) for in situ oxidative stress level modulation in colitis. ICANs consist of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with surface-attached ROS-scavenging ceria nanoparticles (CeNPs), which are further coated with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) to facilitate preferential adherence to inflamed colon tissues through electrostatic interaction. We achieved a high ROS-scavenging property that remained effective even after artificial gastrointestinal fluid incubation by optimization of the molecular weight and PAA-coating pH. The orally administered ICANs demonstrated enhanced adherence to inflamed colon tissues in an acute inflammation mouse model of IBD induced by dextran sulfate sodium. This targeted delivery resulted in gut microenvironment modulation by regulating redox balance and reducing inflammatory cell infiltration, thereby suppressing the colitis-associated immune response. These findings highlight the potential of noninvasive ICANs as a promising candidate for treating inflammatory intestinal diseases by oxidative stress level modulation in colitis.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves a complex interaction between genetics, immune response, and the environment. Epidemiologic associations between diet and development of IBD plus the ability of diet to modify the microbiota and modulate immune function have led to the hypothesis that diet can prevent and/or treat IBD. It is well established that the induction of remission and healing of the mucosa in Crohn's disease can be accomplished with exclusive enteral nutrition. Whole food-based alternatives such as the Crohn's disease exclusion diet have shown promising results.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic chronic inflammatory disease of the colon with sharply rising global prevalence. Dysfunctional epithelial compartment (EC) dynamics are implicated in UC pathogenesis although EC-specific studies are sparse. Applying orthogonal high-dimensional EC profiling to a Primary Cohort (PC; n=222), we detail major epithelial and immune cell perturbations in active UC. Prominently, reduced frequencies of mature BEST4+OTOP2+ absorptive and BEST2+WFDC2+ secretory epithelial enterocytes were associated with the replacement of homeostatic, resident TRDC+KLRD1+HOPX+ γδ+ T cells with RORA+CCL20+S100A4+ TH17 cells and the influx of inflammatory myeloid cells. The EC transcriptome (exemplified by S100A8, HIF1A, TREM1, CXCR1) correlated with clinical, endoscopic, and histological severity of UC in an independent validation cohort (n=649). Furthermore, therapeutic relevance of the observed cellular and transcriptomic changes was investigated in 3 additional published UC cohorts (n=23, 48 and 204 respectively) to reveal that non-response to anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor (anti-TNF) therapy was associated with EC related myeloid cell perturbations. Altogether, these data provide high resolution mapping of the EC to facilitate therapeutic decision-making and personalization of therapy in patients with UC.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology possibly associated with intestinal inflammation and oxidative stress. Molecular hybridization by combining two drug fragments to achieve a common pharmacological goal represents a novel strategy. The Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)-nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway provides an effective defense mechanism for UC therapy, and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) shows similar and relevant biological functions as well. In this work, a series of hybrid derivatives were synthesized by connecting an inhibitor of Keap1-Nrf2 protein-protein interaction with two well-established H2S-donor moieties, respectively, via an ester linker, to find a drug candidate more effective for the UC treatment. Subsequently, the cytoprotective effects of hybrids derivatives were investigated, and DDO-1901 was identified as a candidate showing the best efficacy and used for further investigation on therapeutic effect on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in vitro and in vivo. Experimental results indicated that DDO-1901 could effectively alleviate DSS-induced colitis by improving the defense against oxidative stress and reducing inflammation, more potent than parent drugs. Compared with either drug alone, such molecular hybridization may offer an attractive strategy for the treatment of multifactorial inflammatory disease.

Tran S, Juliani J, Fairlie WD, Lee EF. The emerging roles of autophagy in intestinal epithelial cells and its links to inflammatory bowel disease. Biochem Soc Trans 2023; 51:811-826. [PMID: 37052218 DOI: 10.1042/bst20221300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023]
Abstract
Landmark genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified that mutations in autophagy genes correlated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a heterogenous disease characterised by prolonged inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, that can reduce a person's quality of life. Autophagy, the delivery of intracellular components to the lysosome for degradation, is a critical cellular housekeeping process that removes damaged proteins and turns over organelles, recycling their amino acids and other constituents to supply cells with energy and necessary building blocks. This occurs under both basal and challenging conditions such as nutrient deprivation. An understanding of the relationship between autophagy, intestinal health and IBD aetiology has improved over time, with autophagy having a verified role in the intestinal epithelium and immune cells. Here, we discuss research that has led to an understanding that autophagy genes, including ATG16L, ATG5, ATG7, IRGM, and Class III PI3K complex members, contribute to innate immune defence in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) via selective autophagy of bacteria (xenophagy), how autophagy contributes to the regulation of the intestinal barrier via cell junctional proteins, and the critical role of autophagy genes in intestinal epithelial secretory subpopulations, namely Paneth and goblet cells. We also discuss how intestinal stem cells can utilise autophagy. Importantly, mouse studies have provided evidence that autophagy deregulation has serious physiological consequences including IEC death and intestinal inflammation. Thus, autophagy is now established as a key regulator of intestinal homeostasis. Further research into how its cytoprotective mechanisms can prevent intestinal inflammation may provide insights into the effective management of IBD.

Abstract
The advent of biologics and small molecules in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has marked a significant turning point in the prognosis of IBD, decreasing the rates of corticosteroid dependence, hospitalizations and improving overall quality of life. The introduction of biosimilars has also increased affordability and enhanced access to these otherwise costly targeted therapies. Biologics do not yet represent a complete panacea: A subset of patients do not respond to first-line anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha agents or may subsequently demonstrate a secondary loss of response. Patients who fail to respond to anti-TNF agents typically have a poorer response rate to second-line biologics. It is uncertain which patient would benefit from a different sequencing of biologics or even a combination of biologic agents. The introduction of newer classes of biologics and small molecules may provide alternative therapeutic targets for patients with refractory disease. This review examines the therapeutic ceiling in current treatment strategies of IBD and the potential paradigm shifts in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The availability of biological agents for inflammatory bowel disease has increased over the past years. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to explore time trends in clinical response and clinical remission rates in Crohn's disease (CD) patients treated with biologics while discussing the need for new strategies. METHODS MEDLINE, Cochrane, and ISI Web of Science databases were searched for randomized placebo-controlled trials with biological agents in moderate-to-severe CD patients. Sub-group and meta-regression analyses compared treatment and placebo by calculating the pooled odds ratios of clinical remission and clinical response, across time categories and publication year. We also estimated the proportion of patients achieving clinical remission and clinical response by comparing both groups according to the publication year. RESULTS Twenty-five trials were included in the systematic review, which enrolled 8879 patients between 1997 and 2022. The clinical remission and clinical response odds, in induction and maintenance, have been constant over time, as no statistically significant differences were found between time categories (interaction p-values: clinical remission [induction, p = 0.19; maintenance, p = 0.24]; clinical response [induction, p = 0.43; maintenance, p = 0.59]). In meta-regression analyses, publication year did not influence these outcomes (clinical remission [induction, OR 1.01{95% CI 0.97-1.05}, p = 0.72; clinical response [induction, OR 1.01{95% CI 0.97-1.04]; p = 0.63; maintenance, OR 1.03{95% CI 0.98-1.07}; p = 0.21]), with the exception of clinical remission in maintenance studies, which presented a decreased effect (odds ratio 0.97{95% CI 0.94-1.00}, p = 0.03]). CONCLUSIONS Our review highlights that the odds of clinical outcomes in CD patients receiving biological treatment relative to placebo have been stable in the last decades.

Breaking through the therapeutic ceiling of inflammatory bowel disease: Dual-targeted therapies. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 158:114174.

Abstract
Emerging biologics and small-molecule drugs have changed the clinical status quo of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, current treatments remain at a standstill in terms of response and remission in many cases. Accumulating evidence indicates that dual-targeted therapy (DTT) could be promising in overcoming the existing ceiling of IBD treatment. However, data on the efficacy and safety of DTT on Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are still limited or insufficient. Moreover, there is a lack of studies delineating the mechanisms of DTT. Given that various targeted drugs have different targets among the extensive redundant inflammatory networks, DTT could result in various outcomes. In this review, we have summarized the current data on the safety, effectiveness, and clinical development status of novel targeted drugs related to refractory IBD, and have explored the mechanism of action of therapy. We have categorized therapeutic agents into "Therapeutic Agents Targeting Cellular Signaling Pathways" and "Therapeutic Agents Targeting Leukocyte Trafficking" based on the different therapeutic targets, and also by classifying therapeutic agents targeting the cellular signaling pathways into "JAK-dependent" and "JAK-independent," and placed the existing drug combinations into 3 categories based on their mechanisms, namely, overlapping, synergistic, and complementary effects. Lastly, we have proposed the possible mechanisms of DTT to conceive a theoretical framework for clinical decision-making and further drug development and research from an IBD standpoint.

Abstract
Microbiota-based therapeutics offer innovative strategies to treat inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). However, the poor clinical outcome so far and the limited flexibility of the bacterial approach call for improvement. Inspired by the health benefits of probiotics in alleviating symptoms of bowel diseases, bioartificial probiotics are designed to restore the intestinal microenvironment in colitis by regulating redox balance, immune responses, and the gut microbiome. The bioartificial probiotic comprises two components: an E. coli Nissle 1917-derived membrane (EM) as the surface and the biodegradable diselenide-bridged mesoporous silica nanoparticles (SeM) as the core. When orally administered, the probiotic-inspired nanomedicine (SeM@EM) adheres strongly to the mucus layer and restored intestinal redox balance and immune regulation homeostasis in a murine model of acute colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate. In addition, the respective properties of the EM and SeM synergistically alter the gut microbiome to a favorable state by increasing the bacterial diversity and shifting the microbiome profile to an anti-inflammatory phenotype. This work suggests a safe and effective nanomedicine that can restore intestinal homeostasis for IBDs therapy.

Abstract
Although the therapeutic armamentarium of Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) physicians has expanded rapidly in recent years, a proportion of patients remain with a suboptimal response to medical treatment due to primary no response, loss of response or intolerance to currently available drugs. Our growing knowledges of IBD pathophysiology has led to the development of a multitude of new therapies over time, which may, 1 day, be able to address this unmet medical need. This review aims to provide physicians an update of emerging therapies in IBD by focusing on drugs currently in phase 3 clinical trials. Among the most promising molecules are anti-IL-23, JAK-inhibitors, anti-integrins and S1P modulators. While the results in terms of efficacy and safety are fairly clear for some classes, the question of safety remains more uncertain for other classes. Molecules at a more preliminary stage of development (phase 1 and 2), one of which may 1 day offer an optimal benefit-risk ratio, will also be presented as well as their respective mechanisms of action.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic immune-mediated disease of the gastrointestinal tract comprising Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). While any part of the digestive tract can be affected in CD, mucosal inflammation in UC is limited to the colon. Differences and similarities between the two conditions are reflected by their pathophysiology. AREAS COVERED An overview of immunological aspects, pharmacological management, and biomarkers of IBD is provided. The role of adsorptive granulocyte and monocyte apheresis (GMA) is reviewed including its primary and secondary effects on the immune system, as well as clinical studies in IBD (mainly UC), and potential biomarkers for adsorptive GMA. EXPERT OPINION In UC, adsorptive GMA with Adacolumn (Adacolumn®, JIMRO Co., Ltd. Takasaki, Gunma, Japan) selectively depletes elevated myeloid lineage leukocytes and has a range of beneficial secondary immune effects. Adsorptive GMA is a safe and effective non-pharmacological treatment option for UC. Pilot studies have reported promising results for adsorptive GMA in combination with biological agents, although larger studies are required. Fecal calprotectin concentrations, neutrophil counts in histological samples and/or the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio in peripheral blood may prove to be useful biomarkers for predicting GMA effectiveness in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Nearly one-third of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) do not achieve remission despite our best therapies. When this happens, it is critical to understand the reason for treatment failure. Once nonresponse is confirmed, these patients should be referred to an IBD centre for multidisciplinary care. This review will discuss the remaining treatment options, including escalation of biologics to unlicensed doses, combination biologics, nonvalidated therapies and surgical options. It will additionally provide updates in the management of acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC). RECENT FINDINGS There is an increasing interest in combination biologics to treat refractory IBD, although data supporting its safety and effectiveness are limited. The use of hyperbaric oxygen, mesenchymal stem cell therapy and dietary interventions also show early promise in this area. Studies have additionally focused on personalized therapy to identify aggressive phenotypes and predict treatment response in these challenging patients. In ASUC, infliximab and cyclosporine remain mainstays of treatment, and tofacitinib shows promise as a salvage therapy. SUMMARY Refractory IBD is common, yet large knowledge gaps remain. Recent and ongoing studies have focused on medical, surgical and dietary approaches with mixed success. Larger prospective studies are desperately needed to address this complex issue.

Abstract
The past decades witnessed a significant stride in deciphering the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel disease, which further advanced drug development adding several new biologicals and small molecules to the arsenal of available therapies. Surprisingly, this wealth in therapeutic options did not yield the aspired high durable response rates. In addition, the increase in therapeutic availabilities ignited an increase in research toward biomarkers that could help assign therapies to patients with the highest probability of response. Luckily, major steps have been undertaken in this domain which resulted in the discovery of some interesting biomarkers that are still under validation. However, the pace in which this domain is progressing, the discordance between short-term endpoints in biomarker discovery studies and the ambition of the disease community in modifying disease course, and the uncertainties about the validity of discovered biomarkers highlight the need for a critical appraisal of research conduct in this domain. In this review, we shed light on areas of improvement in biomarker discovery studies that will help optimize the use of available therapies and break the current therapeutic ceiling.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy revolutionized the treatment of multiple solid and hematologic malignancies. Yet, with it came profound inflammatory toxicities that mimic autoimmune diseases, termed immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Prominent among these is gastrointestinal inflammation, including a spectrum of gastritis, enteritis, and colitis. Here we synthesize an approach to immune checkpoint related enterocolitis (irEC) - including diagnostics and therapeutics - underpinned by new insights into the mechanism behind these phenomena. RECENT FINDINGS This review presents updated insights on how to approach irEC, including novel approaches to selective immunosuppressive therapy, the role of fecal microbiota transplant, and the underlying cellular mechanisms of irEC. This review provides an update on irEC diagnosis and therapy, with considerations of new therapies and special patient populations. The field of gastrointestinal irAEs requires additional investigation, which will ultimately provide the tools required for patients to continue to receive life-saving ICI therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Intestinal microbiota-host interactions play a major role in health and disease. This has been documented at the microbiota level ("dysbiosis" in chronic immune-mediated diseases) and through the study of specific bacteria-host interactions but rarely at the level of intestinal ecosystem dynamics. However, understanding the behavior of this ecosystem may be key to the successful treatment of disease. We recently postulated that health and disease represent alternative stable states of the intestinal ecosystem (different configurations that can exist under identical external conditions), which would require adapted strategies in disease treatment. Here, we examine if alternative stable states indeed exist in this ecosystem and if they could affect remission from ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS We analyzed data from a study on pediatric UC. The data reflect current treatment practice following the recruitment of treatment-naive patients with new-onset disease. Patients received personalized anti-inflammatory treatments over a period of 1 year. Stool samples at 0, 4, 12, and 52 weeks allowed an estimation of microbiota status (through 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing) and host inflammatory status (through the measurement of fecal calprotectin levels). RESULTS We identify 4 microbiota states and 4 host states. Longitudinal data show that the improvement of inflammatory status is accompanied by an improvement of microbiota status. However, they also provide strong indications that both improvements are retarded or blocked by alternative states barriers. CONCLUSIONS Our observations strongly suggest that inflammation suppression should be combined with microbiota management where possible to improve the efficacy of UC treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Few data are available regarding the combination of biologics or small molecules in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. We report safety and efficacy of such combinations through a retrospective multicentre series. METHODS Combination therapy was defined as the concomitant use of two biologics or one biologic with a small molecule. Patient demographics, disease characteristics and types of combinations were recorded. Safety was evaluated according to the occurrence of serious infection, opportunistic infection, hospitalisation, life-threatening event, worsening of IBD or immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID), cancer and death. Efficacy was evaluated as the physician global assessment of the combination and comparison of clinical/endoscopic scores of IBD/IMID activity prior and during combination. RESULTS A total of 104 combinations were collected in 98 patients. Concomitant IMID were present in 41 patients. Reasons for starting combination therapy were active IBD (67%), active IMID or extra-intestinal manifestations (EIM) (22%), both (10%) and unclassified in 1. Median duration of combination was 8 months (interquartile range 5-16). During 122 patient-years of follow-up, 42 significant adverse events were observed, mostly related to uncontrolled IBD. There were 10 significant infections, 1 skin cancer and no death. IBD disease activity was clinically improved in 70% and IMID/EIM activity in 81% of the patients. Overall, combination was continued in 55% of the patients. CONCLUSIONS Combination of biologics and small molecules in patients with IBD and IMID/EIM seems to be a promising therapeutic strategy but is also associated with a risk of opportunistic infections or infections leading to hospitalisation in 10%.
