Abstract
We report the case of a 15-year-old boy with severe inflammatory blepharitis who was being treated with a TNFα inhibitor for Crohn's disease (CD). This case shows the potential utility of a skin biopsy in distinguishing metastatic CD associated with granulomatous blepharitis from a paradoxical blepharitis induced by anti-TNFα. It also demonstrates that ustekinumab can be considered in patients with CD who cannot tolerate TNFα inhibitors because of cutaneous paradoxical reactions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the efficacies of different biologic therapies in treating tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα)-induced paradoxical psoriasis (PXP) and controlling inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) symptoms. METHODS We conducted a literature search of the Ovid EMBASE, Ovid Medline, Web of Science Core Collection, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases from their inception to October 3, 2021. We considered all peer-reviewed, randomized controlled trials, chart reviews, and observational studies that discussed the TNFα-induced PXP treatment outcomes in IBD patients of switching to different biologic therapies. RESULTS Switching to ustekinumab (UST) resulted in complete or partial resolution of TNFα-induced PXP in 83.1% of patients (74 out of 89 patients), while switching to either vedolizumab (VDZ) or secukinumab led to complete resolution in 100% of patients (eight out of eight patients). Approximately 75.4% of patients who were switched to UST remained in IBD remission, 4.6% in partial remission, and 20.0% in the flare of IBD. CONCLUSIONS UST has sufficient data to demonstrate the efficacy in treating TNFα-induced PXP and controlling IBD symptoms concurrently. More data is needed to validate the efficacies of VDZ and SEC in treating TNFα-induced PXP in IBD patients.

Abstract
Alopecia areata is a non-scarring, autoimmune hair loss disorder that is
associated with inflammatory bowel disease. Alopecia areata and inflammatory
bowel disease may have a common pathogenic mechanism that involves the Janus
kinase/STAT pathway. In addition, there are previous case reports of patients
who developed alopecia areata while on biologic therapies for inflammatory bowel
disease. JAK1 inhibitors are currently undergoing investigation as potential
therapies for Crohn’s disease. Upadacitinib, an oral JAK1 inhibitor, has
demonstrated efficacy in treating Crohn’s disease during phase III clinical
trials. In this case report, we present a 23-year-old man with Crohn’s disease
who previously developed alopecia areata while on adalimumab. He had
near-complete resolution of his alopecia universalis after 7 months of treatment
with upadacitinib while on concurrent ustekinumab for Crohn’s disease, which he
had been taking for 16 months prior to starting upadacitinib. Upadacitinib may
be a beneficial therapy for treating concomitant alopecia areata and Crohn’s
disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Anti-tumour necrosis factor [anti-TNF] induced skin reactions are common adverse events in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. We aimed to report on outcomes of children with anti-TNF induced skin reactions who switched to ustekinumab [UST] vs. continued anti-TNF therapy. METHODS Charts were reviewed for paediatric IBD patients with anti-TNF induced skin reactions. Skin reactions, including psoriasiform dermatitis [PD], were classified as mild or severe based on a severity score. Primary outcome was frequency of skin resolution at 6 months. Secondary outcomes were combined clinical remission and skin resolution at 6 months and skin resolution at latest follow-up. RESULTS A total of 111/638 [17%] children ([85, 21%] infliximab [IFX]; [26, 11%] adalimumab [ADA]) developed skin reactions. Eighty [72%] had PD, 25 [23%] infections, and four [4%] alopecia areata; 71 [64%] continued anti-TNF; and 40 [36%] switched to UST. In all, 73 [66%] had severe reactions and were more likely to switch to UST than if mild (37 [51%] vs. 3 [8%]; p <0.0001). Switching to UST had a higher rate and odds of resolution (29 [73%] vs. 24 [34%]; p <0.0001; odds ratio [OR] = 19.7, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.6, 69.5; p <0.0001) and combined remission (21 [52%] vs. 22 [31%]; p = 0.03; OR = 8.5, 95% CI: 2.5, 28.4; p = 0.0005] vs. continuing anti-TNF at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS Children who switched to UST after anti-TNF induced skin reactions were more likely to have improved outcomes than those who continued anti-TNF therapy. Future studies are needed to determine immune mechanisms of anti-TNF induced skin reactions and treatment response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Optimal management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] after anti-tumour necrosis factor [TNF] discontinuation due to severe induced skin lesions is unclear. Our study aimed to describe dermatological and IBD evolution after anti-TNF discontinuation for this side effect. METHODS We conducted a multicentre retrospective study including consecutive IBD patients who discontinued anti-TNF due to severe induced skin lesions. Our objectives were to determine factors associated with dermatological remission [complete disappearance of skin lesions] and with IBD relapse in patients with inactive disease at inclusion, notably the impact of an early switch to another biological agent within 3 months of anti-TNF discontinuation. RESULTS Among the 181 patients [134 women, 160 Crohn's disease] included in the 13 participating centres, dermatological remission occurred in 110 [62%] patients with a median [interquartile range, IQR] interval of 8.0 [6.8-11.0] months. Scalp location was independently associated with less remission of skin lesions (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.64 [95% CI 0.43-0.94], p = 0.02) while early switch was independently associated with a higher probability of remission of skin lesions (HR = 1.64 [95% CI 1.1-2.5], p = 0.02). Among the 148 patients with inactive IBD at inclusion, disease relapse occurred in 75 [51%] patients with a median [IQR] interval of 26.0 [23.0-39.1] months. Survival rates without IBD relapse at 1 year were 85.8% [95% CI 77.5-94.9] in the early switch group and 59.3% [95% CI 48.9-71.9] in the other group [p < 0.01]. CONCLUSIONS Early switch to a new biological is associated with a higher probability of healing of anti-TNF-induced skin lesions and significantly reduces the risk of IBD relapse.

Abstract
Targeted biologic agents have dramatically changed the therapeutic landscape for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, particularly in rheumatology and dermatology. Their introduction has resulted in a paradigm shift, i.e., they produce significant clinical improvements in most patients with such diseases. Nevertheless, a variety of adverse reactions associated with these agents have been observed, including so-called paradoxical reactions (PRs), which are a new class of adverse events. PRs involve the de novo development or worsening of immune-mediated inflammatory disease during treatment with a targeted biologic agent that is commonly used to treat the idiopathic counterpart of the drug-induced reaction. In addition, the efficacy of biologic agents targeting individual cytokines and the existence of PRs to them have provided proof that cytokines are key drivers of various immune-mediated inflammatory diseases and helped researchers elucidate the molecular pathways underlying the pathophysiology of these diseases. Here, a comprehensive review of the targeted biologic agents used to treat immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, particularly psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, is provided, with a specific focus on biologic agents that inhibit cytokine signaling involving tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-12/23 (p40), IL-17A (and the IL-17 receptor [R]), IL-23 (p19), and the IL-4Rα, and their associated PRs. The characteristic clinical manifestations and potential immunological mechanisms of the PRs induced by these biologic agents are also reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 33% of Crohn's disease (CD) patients have associated autoimmune skin disease. The pathophysiology of the latter frequently involves interleukin-12/interleukin-23 signaling pathways that may also impact gut inflammation. Ustekinumab is an anti-IL-12/23 FDA-approved biologic for psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease. However, its relative efficacy has never been studied in CD with autoimmune skin disease (CD-ASD) vs CD without autoimmune skin disease (CD-none). METHODS This is a retrospective, single-center, case-control study comparing markers of disease activity between CD-ASD and CD-none. Biomarkers (fecal calprotectin [FCP], C-reactive protein [CRP]) prior to drug initiation and after at least 5 months of standard IBD dose ustekinumab therapy were extracted from the medical record. In addition, 2 blinded observers performed 5-point Likert scoring before and after endoscopic, pathologic, and imaging reports. RESULTS In all, 395 CD patients received ustekinumab therapy (79 CD-ASD, 316 CD-none). Patients were similar in age; gender; ethnicity; CD severity, phenotype, and duration; tobacco, immunomodulator, and steroid use. Ustekinumab had greater efficacy in CD-ASD when evaluated by FCP (P = .0337) and CRP (P = .078). The CD-ASD group also showed better outcomes in Likert scores of endoscopy (P = .016), histopathology (P = .074), and imaging (P = .094). In all Likert parameters, CD-ASD had more patients with complete resolution of moderate/severe disease (P < .05). Additional subanalyses for surgeries, ulcers, abscesses, fistulas, and colitis were conducted, with colitis reaching statistical significance (P = .0011). CONCLUSIONS Concurrent autoimmune skin disease in CD is associated with greater ustekinumab effectiveness in controlling intestinal inflammation.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that is subdivided into Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). CD is characterized by involvement of the entire GI tract, while UC mainly affects the distal GI tract. Moreover, both CD and UC can present with extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) of the disease affecting multiple organ systems including the hepatobiliary tract, kidney, bones, eyes, joints, and skin. These complications can cause significant morbidity and negatively impact the quality of life for IBD patients. Although the pathogenesis of EIMs is not clearly elucidated, it is postulated that the diseased GI mucosa similarly stimulates excess immune responses at the extraintestinal sites. Cutaneous EIMs occur in up to 15% of patients with IBD, often predating their IBD diagnosis. They are categorized into (1) specific, (2) reactive, (3) associated, and (4) treatment-induced. Here, we review the epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic, and histologic features of the most commonly described cutaneous EIMs of IBD along with their respective treatment options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Skin eruptions are prevalent among patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), often associated with therapies and frequently leading to dermatological consults and treatment interruptions. We aimed to assess the impact of joint shared decision-making in a multidisciplinary (MDT) IBD-DERMA clinic. METHODS This retrospective cohort study assessed a consecutive group of patients with IBD who were referred for consultation in an MDT clinic at a tertiary referral center in Israel. RESULTS Over 1 year, 118 patients were evaluated in the MDT-IBD-DERMA clinic: 68 (57.6%) males; age - 35.2 ± 13.5 years, disease duration - 7.1 (interquartile range: 3.7-13.9) years; Crohn's disease - 94/118 (79.6%). Skin eruption induced by an anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) were the most common diagnoses [46/118 (39%)], including psoriasiform dermatitis (PD) - 31/46 (67.4%) and inflammatory alopecia (IA) - 15/46 (32.6%). Of these, 18 patients (39.1%) continued the anti-TNF agent concomitantly with a topical or systemic anti-inflammatory agent to control the eruption. The remaining 28 patients (60.9%) discontinued the anti-TNF, of whom 16/28 (57.1%) switched to ustekinumab. These strategies effectively treated the majority [38/46 (82.6%)] of patients. Continuation of the anti-TNF was possible in a significantly higher proportion of patients with PD: 12/31 (38.7%) than only one in the IA group, p = 0.035. There was a higher switch to ustekinumab among the IA 7/15 (46.6%) compared with the PD 7/31 (22.6%) group, P = .09. Following IBD-DERMA advised intervention, IBD deteriorated in 9/4 6(19.5%) patients, 5/9 on ustekinumab (PD versus IA, P = NS). CONCLUSION Shared decision-making in an integrated IBD-DERMA clinic allowed successful control of skin eruptions while preserving control of the underlying IBD in more than 80% of cases. Patients with IA profited from a switch to ustekinumab.

Abstract
Ustekinumab is approved for the treatment of psoriasis and Crohn's disease. Because many dermatological conditions are due to immune-mediated development, ustekinumab may be effective in other conditions. A systematic review of the off-label uses of ustekinumab, as well as on-label adverse effect, was performed, reporting on clinical improvement. MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were searched for studies regarding ustekinumab treatment of rativa (HS), lichen planus (LP), pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP), cutalopecia areata (AA), atopic dermatitis (AD), Bechet's disease, bullous pemphigoid (BP), hidradenitis suppuaneous sarcoidosis, cutaneous systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and vitiligo. Descriptive statistics were performed. 74 articles of 4596 screened were included, and reported on 212 patients receiving ustekinumab treatment. Across all studies, ustekinumab showed promise in treating patients: AA (10/12 patients; 83.3% improvement), AD (28/74 patients; 37.8% improvement), HS (42/52 patients; 80.8% improvement), and PRP (25/27 patients; 92.6% improvement), among others. Adverse events were noted with the use of ustekinumab, including development of AA (four patients), AD (three patients), and BP (four patients), among others. Ustekinumab can be a promising option for patients with dermatological conditions refractory to traditional therapies. Adverse events must be monitored in certain patients.

Abstract
Eczematous drug eruptions are a heterogenous group of skin reactions that resemble eczema both clinically and histologically. We reviewed the literature and cataloged the systemically administered medications that cause these eruptions, along with their characteristic clinical presentations. We identified three primary pathophysiologic etiologies: (1) cutaneous immunomodulation, (2) skin dehydration, and (3) delayed hypersensitivity. Notably, eczematous eruptions caused by altered immunity in the skin may be increasing in incidence as some responsible drugs, in particular biologic therapies (such as tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-17 inhibitors) and targeted cancer treatments (including immune checkpoint inhibitors and epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors), become more commonly employed in clinical practice. Other notable causes of eczematous eruptions include antiviral agents for hepatitis C virus and cardiovascular medications in elderly individuals, and notable subtypes of eczematous reactions include systemic contact dermatitis and photoallergic reactions, which are also discussed. The diagnostic gold standard is drug rechallenge and most reactions may be treated effectively with emollients, topical corticosteroids, and oral antihistamines.

Cutaneous Manifestations in Biological-Treated Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients: A Narrative Review. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10051040. [PMID: 33802483 PMCID: PMC7959457 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10051040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2021] [Revised: 02/12/2021] [Accepted: 02/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The biologic era has greatly improved the treatment of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Biologics can however induce a wide variety of skin eruptions, especially those targeting the TNF-α and Th17 pathway. These include infusion reactions, eczema, psoriasis, lupus, alopecia areata, vitiligo, lichenoid reactions, granulomatous disorders, vasculitis, skin cancer, and cutaneous infections. It is important to recognize these conditions as treatment-induced adverse reactions and adapt the treatment strategy accordingly. Some conditions can be treated topically while others require cessation or switch of the biological therapy. TNF-α antagonists have the highest rate adverse skin eruptions followed by ustekinumab and anti-integrin receptor blockers. In this review, we provide an overview of the most common skin eruptions which can be encountered in clinical practice when treating IBD (Inflammatory bowel disease) patients and propose a therapeutic approach for each condition.

Wu J, Smogorzewski J. Ustekinumab for the treatment of paradoxical skin reactions and cutaneous manifestations of inflammatory bowel diseases. Dermatol Ther 2021; 34:e14883. [PMID: 33594811 DOI: 10.1111/dth.14883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2020] [Revised: 01/19/2021] [Accepted: 02/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Ustekinumab (STELARA), a human monoclonal antibody directed against IL-12 and IL-23, is FDA-approved to treat psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. Increasing recognition of paradoxical skin reactions induced by older biologic therapies used for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as, adalimumab and infliximab, has led to the investigation of ustekinumab for the treatment of the cutaneous and gastrointestinal manifestations of IBD. In addition, ustekinumab may show efficacy in treating paradoxical cutaneous reactions to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors. A search of the Medline/PubMed database, with additional citations obtained from the references section of relevant articles, yielded 22 articles that were included in this review. Ustekinumab is a safe and effective option for treating the cutaneous manifestations of IBD, such as, metastatic Crohn's disease and pyoderma gangrenosum. It is also an effective treatment for TNF-α inhibitor-induced paradoxical skin reactions, such as, psoriasis that do not remit spontaneously or with conventional treatment. Additional studies should focus on the optimal dosing of ustekinumab for dermatologic conditions beyond psoriasis.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The link between autoimmune gut disorders and different types of hair loss conditions has been recently investigated with an increased interest. With acknowledgement of the connection between immune dysregulation and the gut microbiome, this pathway is now becoming recognized as playing an important role in hair growth. The inflammatory cascade that results from the disruption of gut integrity such as seen in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) has been associated with certain types of alopecia. OBJECTIVE The aim of this work was to evaluate the association between alopecia and IBD. EVIDENCE REVIEW A primary literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases to identify articles on co-occurring alopecia and IBD from 1967 to 2020. A total of 79 studies were included in the review. A one-way proportional meta-analysis was performed on 19 of the studies to generate the pooled prevalence of alopecia and IBD. FINDING The pooled prevalence of non-scarring alopecia among IBD patients was 1.12% (k = 7, I2 = 98.6%, 95% CI 3.1-39.9); the prevalence of IBD among scarring and non-scarring alopecia was 1.99% (k = 12; I2 = 99%, 95% CI 6.2-34). The prevalence of non-scarring alopecia areata (AA) among IBD was compared to the prevalence of AA in the general population (0.63 vs. 0.1%; p < 0.0001). Similarly, the prevalence of IBD among the scarring and non-scarring alopecia groups was compared to the prevalence of IBD in the general population (1.99 vs. 0.396%; p = 0.0004). CONCLUSION IBD and alopecia, particularly AA, appear to be strongly associated. Dermatology patients with alopecia may benefit from screening for IBD.

Abstract
Biological therapies, especially blocking tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) agents have radically changed the therapeutic approach and disease course of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In particular, drugs such as infliximab (IFX) and adalimumab (ADA) have been demonstrated to be effective in inducing and maintaining corticosteroid-free remission in both adult and pediatric patients with Crohns Disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC). Biosimilar biological (BioS) therapy is increasingly being used in pediatric age even though most knowledge on the safety and efficacy of these agents is based on IFX in adult IBD data. Studies show high rates of clinical response and remission in both IFX naïve patients and in patients switched from originator to BioS with similar risks of adverse events (AEs) as those reported with IFX originator. In the present review indications, efficacy and AEs of biological therapy in pediatric IBD will be discussed, as well as the role of other biological agents such as Golimumab, Vedolizumab and Ustekinumab, the role of BioS biological therapy and utility of therapeutic drug monitoring in clinical practice.

Rapid Induction and Maintenance of Remission in Refractory Ulcerative Colitis with Ustekinumab. Diseases 2019; 7:diseases7040055.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic debilitating disease characterized by relapsing in intestinal inflammation and ulcers with no available cure. This is a clinical case report of a 52-year-old female patient with 30 years history of left-sided chronic ulcerative colitis controlled with standard of care (mesalamine and azathioprine) which subsequently relapsed and developed into active refractory ulcerative colitis. The patient became unresponsive to her medications including different forms of mesalamines and did not respond favorably to any of the other current therapies. Numerous attempts to stabilize her condition with immunosuppressants, steroids, probiotics, antibiotics, mesalamines, and various biologic agents failed to improve her clinical symptoms, and the patient was being considered for colectomy. As the last resort, modified therapy was prescribed with ustekinumab, a non-selective, anti-IL12/23 p40 monoclonal antibody. This medication has not been yet approved for use in ulcerative colitis patients. In this clinical case we report the efficacy of ustekinumab to rapidly induce and maintain remission of the severe chronic ulcerative colitis in the patient. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of utilizing ustakinamub therapy for rapid induction in an active refractory ulcerative colitis patient resulting in complete remission for over one year.
