Abstract
Intestinal organoids are a three-dimensional cell culture model derived from colon or pluripotent stem cells. Intestinal organoids constructed in vitro strongly mimic the colon epithelium in cell composition, tissue architecture, and specific functions, replicating the colon epithelium in an in vitro culture environment. As an emerging biomedical technology, organoid technology has unique advantages over traditional two-dimensional culture in preserving parental gene expression and mutation, cell function, and biological characteristics. It has shown great potential in the research and treatment of colorectal diseases. Organoid technology has been widely applied in research on colorectal topics, including intestinal tumors, inflammatory bowel disease, infectious diarrhea, and intestinal injury regeneration. This review focuses on the application of organoid technology in colorectal diseases, including the basic principles and preparation methods of organoids, and explores the pathogenesis of and personalized treatment plans for various colorectal diseases to provide a valuable reference for organoid technology development and application.

Yang T, Feng J, Yao R, Feng Q, Shen J. CT-based pancreatic radiomics predicts secondary loss of response to infliximab in biologically naïve patients with Crohn's disease. Insights Imaging 2024; 15:69. [PMID: 38472447 DOI: 10.1186/s13244-024-01637-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Predicting secondary loss of response (SLR) to infliximab (IFX) is paramount for tailoring personalized management regimens. Concurrent pancreatic manifestations in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) may correlate with SLR to anti-tumor necrosis factor treatment. This work aimed to evaluate the potential of pancreatic radiomics to predict SLR to IFX in biologic-naive individuals with CD. METHODS Three models were developed by logistic regression analyses to identify high-risk subgroup prone to SLR. The area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) were applied for the verification of model performance. A quantitative nomogram was proposed based on the optimal prediction model, and its reliability was substantiated by 10-fold cross-validation. RESULTS In total, 184 CD patients were enrolled in the period January 2016 to February 2022. The clinical model incorporated age of onset, disease duration, disease location, and disease behavior, whereas the radiomics model consisted of five texture features. These clinical parameters and the radiomics score calculated by selected texture features were applied to build the combined model. Compared to other two models, combined model achieved favorable, significantly improved discrimination power (AUCcombined vs clinical 0.851 vs 0.694, p = 0.02; AUCcombined vs radiomics 0.851 vs 0.740, p = 0.04) and superior clinical usefulness, which was further converted into reliable nomogram with an accuracy of 0.860 and AUC of 0.872. CONCLUSIONS The first proposed pancreatic-related nomogram represents a credible, noninvasive predictive instrument to assist clinicians in accurately identifying SLR and non-SLR in CD patients. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT This study first built a visual nomogram incorporating pancreatic texture features and clinical factors, which could facilitate clinicians to make personalized treatment decisions and optimize cost-effectiveness ratio for patients with CD. KEY POINTS • The first proposed pancreatic-related model predicts secondary loss of response for infliximab in Crohn's disease. • The model achieved satisfactory predictive accuracy, calibration ability, and clinical value. • The model-based nomogram has the potential to identify long-term failure in advance and tailor personalized management regimens.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) antagonists, the first biologics approved for treating patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are effective for the induction and maintenance of remission and significantly improving prognosis. However, up to one-third of treated patients show primary nonresponse (PNR) to anti-TNF-α therapies, and 23%-50% of IBD patients experience loss of response (LOR) to these biologics during subsequent treatment. There is still no recognized predictor for evaluating the efficacy of anti-TNF drugs. This review summarizes the existing predictors of PNR and LOR to anti-TNF in IBD patients. Most predictors remain controversial, and only previous surgical history, disease manifestations, drug concentrations, antidrug antibodies, serum albumin, some biologic markers, and some genetic markers may be potentially predictive. In addition, we also discuss the next steps of treatment for patients with PNR or LOR to TNF antagonists. Therapeutic drug monitoring plays an important role in treatment selection. Dose escalation, combination therapy, switching to a different anti-TNF drug, or switching to a biologic with a different mechanism of action can be selected based on the concentration of the drug and/or antidrug antibodies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES there is increasing evidence that proactive therapeutic drug monitoring in induction is useful to improve the control of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), although it remains controversial. The primary objective of the study was to assess the short-term outcomes of proactive Bayesian therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) during induction, to optimize infliximab (IFX) maintenance dose. METHODS retrospective observational cohort of IBD patients > 18 years. They were divided into two cohorts, standard therapy group (ST-group), with clinically based dose adjustment, and monitoring group (iTDM-group), with pharmacokinetic parameters calculated by Bayesian prediction at week 6 and individualized dosage regimens thereafter. In patients with an infliximab trough level (ITL) at week 6 below the optimal therapeutic range, the dose adjustment was performed at the first maintenance dose. RESULTS a total of 153 patients were included, 40 in the iTDM-group. Median ITL at week 6 during the induction period was 12.8 µg/ml (IRQ: 12.7) in this group. Only 16 patients (40.0 %) had ITL ≥ 15 µg/ml. Half of the patients (50.3 %) received intensified maintenance therapy during the study period (57.5 % iTDM vs 47.8 % ST, p = 0.291). The proportion of patients achieving primary response at week 14 was 51.8 %. When comparing the two groups, this proportion was higher in the iTDM group (74.3 % vs 44.2 %, p = 0.002). With regards to the variable "poor clinical outcomes" at week 26, this proportion was lower in the iTDM group (3.3 % iTDM vs 21.1 % ST, p = 0.024). CONCLUSIONS proactive therapeutic drug monitoring using Bayesian approach is associated with higher primary response rates and fewer short-term complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Timely stratification of Crohn's disease (CD) is essential for patients' management. The use of noninvasive accurate biomarkers is key to monitor treatment and to pursue mucosal healing, the ultimate treatment endpoint in CD. OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the performance of readily available biomarkers and develop risk matrices to predict CD progression. METHODS Data from 289 CD patients receiving infliximab (IFX) maintenance therapy for 2 years was collected; those patients were included in DIRECT, a prospective multicenter observational study. Disease progression was evaluated using two composite outcomes incorporating clinical and drug-related factors, the first including IFX dose and/or frequency adjustments. Univariate and multivariable logistic regressions were used to calculate the odds ratios (OR) and to develop risk matrices. RESULTS The isolated presence of anemia at least once during follow-up was a significant predictor of disease progression (OR 2.436 and 3.396 [p ≤ 0.001] for composite outcomes 1 and 2, respectively) regardless of confounding factors. Isolated highly elevated C-reactive protein (CRP; >10.0 mg/L) and fecal calprotectin (FC; >500.0 μg/g) in at least one visit were also significant predictors, while milder elevations (3.1-10.0 mg/L and 250.1-500.0 μg/g) were only relevant when detected in at least two visits (consecutive or not). The combination of biomarkers in risk matrices had good ability to predict progression; patients simultaneously presenting anemia, highly elevated CRP and FC at least once had 42%-63% probability of achieving the composite outcomes. CONCLUSION The combined evaluation of hemoglobin, CRP, and FC in at least one time point and their incorporation into risk matrices seems to be the optimal strategy for CD management, as data from additional visits did not meaningfully influence the predictions and may delay decision-making.

Access to High-Cost Biological Agents: Perceptions of Brazilian Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12072672. [PMID: 37048755 PMCID: PMC10095198 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12072672] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and aims: Brazilian patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) requiring therapy with biological agents usually have access to medicines through the National Unified Health Care System (SUS). This study aimed to analyze Brazilian IBD patient perception regarding access (availability and provision quality) to high-cost drugs in the public health care system. Methods: A questionnaire-based survey was carried out in an IBD referral center in Brazil. All adult patients with an established diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn’s disease (CD) that use biological therapy were invited to participate. Data were collected on the biological in use, lack of distribution (number of absences, average time to regularization, impairment in patient treatment), and difficulties reported by patients in obtaining the drugs. Results: Overall, 205 patients met the inclusion criteria and answered the questionnaire. Most of the patients had CD (n = 161, 78.5%), nearly half of them (n = 104, 50.7%) were female; 87 patients (42.4%) were unemployed, and of these, 40 patients (19.5%) had government assistance as the main source of income. Regarding the medications used, infliximab (n = 128, 62.5%) was the most used medication, followed by adalimumab (n = 39, 19.0%). Most patients (n = 172, 83.9%) reported at least one failed delivery of biological medicine in the last year, with a single shortage in forty-two patients (24.4%), at least two shortages in forty-seven patients (27.3%), and three or more shortages in seventy-eight patients (45.3%). The average time to regularize the distribution was up to 1 month in 44 cases (25.6%), up to 2 months in 64 cases (37.2%), and more than 3 months in 56 patients (32.6%). Among patients who reported delays, 101 patients (58.7%) felt that it may have impaired their treatment. Conclusion: Brazilian IBD patients reported high rates of failure to dispense biological drugs by the national healthcare system within one year. Our data highlight the need for improvement in this system for the correct supply of medication to avoid treatment failure and relapse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enteric fistula is one of the penetrating features in Crohn's disease (CD). This study aimed to clarify the prognostic factors for the efficacy of infliximab (IFX) treatment in luminal fistulizing CD patients. METHODS We retrospectively included 26 cases diagnosed with luminal fistulizing CD hospitalized in our medical center from 2013 to 2021. The primary outcome of our research was defined as death from all causes and undergoing of any relevant abdominal surgery. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to describe overall survival. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify prognostic factors. A predictive model was constructed using Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS The median follow-up time was 17.5 months (range 6-124 months). The 1- and 2-year surgery-free survival rates were 68.1% and 63.2%, respectively. In the univariate analysis, the efficacy of IFX treatment at 6 months after initiation (P < 0.001, HR 0.23, 95% CI 0.01-0.72) and the existence of complex fistula (P = 0.047, HR 4.11, 95% CI 1.01-16.71) was found significantly related to the overall surgery-free survival, while disease activity at baseline (P = 0.099) also showed predictive potential. The multivariate analysis showed that efficacy at 6 months (P = 0.010) was an independent prognostic factor. The C-index of the model for surgery-free survival was 0.923 (P < 0.001), indicating an acceptable predictive effect. CONCLUSION Prognostic model including the existence of complex fistula, disease activity at baseline and efficacy of IFX at 6 months may be useful to predict long-term outcome of luminal fistulizing CD patients.

Association between genetic variants and development of antibodies to infliximab: A cross-sectional study in Chinese patients with Crohn's disease. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1096816. [PMID: 36726584 PMCID: PMC9885127 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1096816] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Aims: Genetic variants increase the susceptibility to anti-drug antibodies (ADA) in response to anti-TNF therapy in chronic inflammatory diseases. However, little is known about genetic variants in Chinese populations. This study aimed to identify genetic variants contributing to the risk of the development of antibodies to infliximab (ATI) in Chinese patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Methods: CD patients (n = 104) treated with infliximab (IFX) during the maintenance therapy were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. ATI was assessed by an in-house developed drug-tolerant ELISA method. ATI titers of 1:20 and ≥1:60 were considered a low titer and a high titer, respectively. Thirteen types of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within 13 genes involved in the immune process, the susceptibility to chronic inflammatory diseases, cytokines and apoptosis pathways were investigated. Results: The median trough levels of infliximab (TLI) in patients with clinical remission (CR) were higher than those in patients without CR (3.80 vs. 1.50 μg/mL, p < .001). The median TLI in patients with high-titer ATI was significantly lower than that in ATI-negative patients (1.15 vs. 4.48 μg/mL, p < .001) or those with low-titer ATI (1.15 vs. 2.95 μg/mL, p = .03). The HLA-DQA1*05 rs2097432 GG and GA genotypes were more frequent in patients with ATI (GG and AG vs. AA, 27/38 = 71.05% vs. 29/66 = 43.94%, OR 2.94, 95% CI 1.19-7.30, p = .02). Patients carrying the CC and AC genotypes of rs396991 in FCGR3A were associated with a higher frequency of ATI formation (CC and AC vs. AA, 37/57 = 64.91% vs. 19/47 = 40.43%, OR 2.94, 95% CI 1.24-6.96, p = .01). According to the number of variants in rs2097432 and rs393991, patients with two variants had a higher proportion of producing ATI (two variants vs. no variant, 17/21 = 80.95% vs. 9/30 = 30.00%, OR 9.92, 95% CI 2.59-37.87, p = .001; single variant vs. no variant, 30/53 = 56.60% vs. 9/30 = 30.00%, OR 3.04, 95% CI 1.18-7.88, p = .02). No association was found between other SNPs and ATI production. Conclusion: Rs2097432 in HLA-DQA1*05 and rs396991 in FCGR3A are associated with ATI production in Chinese patients with CD. A pharmacogenomic strategy could help with the clinical management of CD.

Long-Term Real-World Effectiveness and Safety of Ustekinumab in Crohn's Disease Patients: The SUSTAIN Study. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2022; 28:1725-1736.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large real-world-evidence studies are required to confirm the durability of response, effectiveness, and safety of ustekinumab in Crohn's disease (CD) patients in real-world clinical practice. METHODS A retrospective, multicentre study was conducted in Spain in patients with active CD who had received ≥1 intravenous dose of ustekinumab for ≥6 months. Primary outcome was ustekinumab retention rate; secondary outcomes were to identify predictive factors for drug retention, short-term remission (week 16), loss of response and predictive factors for short-term efficacy and loss of response, and ustekinumab safety. RESULTS A total of 463 patients were included. Mean baseline Harvey-Bradshaw Index was 8.4. A total of 447 (96.5%) patients had received prior biologic therapy, 141 (30.5%) of whom had received ≥3 agents. In addition, 35.2% received concomitant immunosuppressants, and 47.1% had ≥1 abdominal surgery. At week 16, 56% had remission, 70% had response, and 26.1% required dose escalation or intensification; of these, 24.8% did not subsequently reduce dose. After a median follow-up of 15 months, 356 (77%) patients continued treatment. The incidence rate of ustekinumab discontinuation was 18% per patient-year of follow-up. Previous intestinal surgery and concomitant steroid treatment were associated with higher risk of ustekinumab discontinuation, while a maintenance schedule every 12 weeks had a lower risk; neither concomitant immunosuppressants nor the number of previous biologics were associated with ustekinumab discontinuation risk. Fifty adverse events were reported in 39 (8.4%) patients; 4 of them were severe (2 infections, 1 malignancy, and 1 fever). CONCLUSIONS Ustekinumab is effective and safe as short- and long-term treatment in a refractory cohort of CD patients in real-world clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Accelerated infliximab (IFX) induction is often based on clinical parameters as opposed to pharmacokinetics (PK). We aimed to investigate the impact of dashboard-guided optimized induction dosing on IFX durability and immunogenicity in a real-world inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) setting. METHODS Pediatric and adult IBD patients were enrolled in a prospective single arm intervention trial. Cumulative data from each infusion (INF), weight, albumin, C-reactive protein, IFX dose, IFX trough level, and antidrug antibody presence were used to inform subsequent INF dosing. Forecasts driven by adaptive Bayesian modeling were generated to maintain trough levels for the third (INF3) and fourth (INF4) infusions of 17 μg/mL and 10 μg/mL, respectively. The primary outcome was proportion of patients prescribed accelerated dosing (AD) intervals by INF3 (<22 days) or INF4 (<49 days). Secondary outcomes included week 52 clinical and PK outcomes. Multivariate analyses and Kaplan-Meier curves compared outcomes based on adherence to dashboard forecasts. RESULTS Of the 180 per-protocol population, AD was forecast for 41% (INF3) and 69% (INF4) of patients with median intervals of 17 (INF3) and 39 (INF4) days. Baseline age >18 years, albumin >3.5 g/L, and 10-mg/kg dose were independently associated with lower rates of AD by INF4. Nonadherence with the INF4 forecast (n = 39) was an independent predictor of antidrug antibody (P < .0001) and IFX discontinuation (P = .0006). A total of 119 of 123 patients on IFX at week 52 were in steroid-free remission. CONCLUSIONS The application of a PK dashboard during induction can optimize dosing early to improve IFX durability and immunogenicity.

Abstract
Chronic diseases are a significant healthcare problem. Partial or complete non-responsiveness to chronic therapies is a significant obstacle to maintaining the long-term effect of drugs in these patients. A high degree of intra- and inter-patient variability defines pharmacodynamics, drug metabolism, and medication response. This variability is associated with partial or complete loss of drug effectiveness. Regular drug dosing schedules do not comply with physiological variability and contribute to resistance to chronic therapies. In this review, we describe a three-phase platform for overcoming drug resistance: introducing irregularity for improving drug response; establishing a deep learning, closed-loop algorithm for generating a personalized pattern of irregularity for overcoming drug resistance; and upscaling the algorithm by implementing quantified personal variability patterns along with other individualized genetic and proteomic-based ways. The closed-loop, dynamic, subject-tailored variability-based machinery can improve the efficacy of existing therapies in patients with chronic diseases.

Correlation Among Body Composition Parameters and Long-Term Outcomes in Crohn's Disease After Anti-TNF Therapy. Front Nutr 2022; 9:765209. [PMID: 35433773 PMCID: PMC9010511 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.765209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The impact of the body composition on the pathophysiology and clinical course of Crohn's disease (CD) has not been fully elucidated. Aims To reveal the correlations among body composition and long-term outcomes in CD after anti-TNF therapy. Methods Ninety-one patients who received anti-TNF therapy as their first biologic treatment were enrolled. The skeletal muscle index (SMI), visceral and subcutaneous fat area (VFA, SFA), and the ratio of the VFA to SFA (mesenteric fat index; MFI) at the 3rd lumbar level were measured using computed tomography (CT) imaging before the induction. The correlation among the body composition and outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. Results The 5-year cumulative secondary failure- and resection-free rates in patients with a low SMI (39.1% and 64.8%) were significantly lower than those with a high SMI (67.5% and 92.7%; p = 0.0071 and 0.0022, respectively). The 5-year cumulative secondary failure-free rate in the patients with low VF (45.0%) was significantly lower than that in those with high VF (77.6%; p = 0.016), and the 5-year cumulative resection-free rate in patients with a high MFI (68.9%) was significantly lower than that in those with a low MFI (83.0%; p = 0.031). Additionally, patients with low age and BMI had significantly lower cumulative secondary failure- and resection-free rates than those with high age and BMI (low age: 37.4% and 71.2%; high age: 70.7% and 88.9%; p = 0.0083 and 0.027, respectively) (low BMI: 27.2% and 64.8%; high BMI: 68.3% and 87.9%; p = 0.014 and 0.030, respectively), respectively. In the multivariate analyses, a low SMI was the only independent risk factor for secondary failure (hazard ratio [HR] 2.15, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04–4.44), while low age (HR 4.06, 95% CI 1.07–15.4), a low SMI (HR 4.19, 95% CI 1.01–17.3) and high MFI were risk factors for bowel resection (HR 4.31, 95% CI 1.36–13.7). Conclusion The skeletal muscle mass and ratio of visceral to subcutaneous fat were suggested to reflect the long-term clinical outcome and may be helpful as prognostic markers after anti-TNF therapy in CD.

Abstract
Polyclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) preparations have been used for several decades for treatment of primary and secondary immunodeficiencies and for treatment of some infections and intoxications. This has demonstrated the importance of Igs, also called antibodies (Abs) for prevention and elimination of infections. Moreover, elucidation of the structure and functions of Abs has suggested that they might be useful for targeted treatment of several diseases, including cancers and autoimmune diseases. The development of technologies for production of specific monoclonal Abs (MAbs) in large amounts has led to the production of highly effective therapeutic antibodies (TAbs), a collective term for MAbs (MAbs) with demonstrated clinical efficacy in one or more diseases. The number of approved TAbs is currently around hundred, and an even larger number is under development, including several engineered and modified Ab formats. The use of TAbs has provided new treatment options for many severe diseases, but prediction of clinical effect is difficult, and many patients eventually lose effect, possibly due to development of Abs to the TAbs or to other reasons. The therapeutic efficacy of TAbs can be ascribed to one or more effects, including binding and neutralization of targets, direct cytotoxicity, Ab-dependent complement-dependent cytotoxicity, Ab-dependent cellular cytotoxicity or others. The therapeutic options for TAbs have been expanded by development of several new formats of TAbs, including bispecific Abs, single domain Abs, TAb-drug conjugates, and the use of TAbs for targeted activation of immune cells. Most promisingly, current research and development can be expected to increase the number of clinical conditions, which may benefit from TAbs.

Infliximab therapy intensification based on endoscopic activity is related to suppress treatment discontinuation in patients with Crohn disease: A retrospective cohort study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2021; 100:e24731.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Administering double doses of infliximab or shortening its dosing interval for patients with Crohn disease who experience a loss of response to treatment is an accepted treatment method; however, the effectiveness and appropriate timing of treatment intensification remain unclear. We examined the treatment outcomes of patients with Crohn disease receiving infliximab therapy intensification.Among 430 patients with Crohn disease who were seen at our related facilities from July 2002 to July 2018, 46 patients (30 men and 16 women) who were followed up for diminished infliximab effects for >1 year after therapy intensification were included in this study. The relationship between patient background and continuation of therapy intensification was retrospectively examined through a logistic regression analysis.Among the 46 patients, 67.4% (31 cases) continued therapy intensification for 12 months. The treatment discontinuation rate after 12 months (7.1% vs 43.8%, P = .015) and the C-reactive protein levels at the start of therapy intensification (P = .0050) were significantly lower in the group in which treatment was strengthened due to remaining endoscopic findings (n = 14) than that due to clinical symptoms (n = 32). There was no significant difference in the rates of treatment discontinuation after 12 months of treatment strengthening between patients receiving double doses (n = 34) and those with shortened dosing intervals (n = 12).Infliximab treatment discontinuation seems to be less likely to occur in patients with Crohn disease who are receiving infliximab treatment intensification based on endoscopic findings of exacerbations than in patients whose treatment is based on clinical symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE OPRX-106 is an orally administered BY2 plant cell-expressing recombinant TNF fusion protein (TNFR). Oral administration of OPRX-106 was shown to be safe and effective in inducing favorable anti-inflammatory immune modulation in humans. The current study was aimed at determining the safety and efficacy of OPRX-106 in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS Twenty-five patients with active mild-to-moderate UC were enrolled in an open-label trial. Patients were randomized to receive 2 or 8 mg of OPRX-106 administered orally once daily, for 8 weeks. Patients were monitored for safety and efficacy including clinical response or clinical remission, based on the Mayo score. The histopathological improvement in Geboes score, calprotectin level and hs-CRP, and exploratory immune parameters by means of fluorescence-activated cell sorting and cytokine levels were monitored. RESULTS Oral administration of OPRX-106 was found to be safe and well tolerated without absorption into the circulation. Out of 24 patients, 18 completed the trial. The analysis of the patients completing treatment demonstrated clinical efficacy as measured by clinical response or remission in 67% and 28%, respectively. Reduction in calprotectin levels and improved Geboes score were noted in the majority of the treated patients. The beneficial clinical effect was associated with an increase in a CD4+CD25+FoxP3 subset of suppressor lymphocytes and a reduction in interleukin 6 and interferon gamma serum levels. CONCLUSIONS Oral administration of the nonabsorbable OPRX-106 is safe and effective in mild-to-moderate UC, and not associated with immune suppression, while inducing favorable anti-inflammatory immune modulation.

Prediction of treatment failure during infliximab induction therapy in inflammatory bowel disease patients based on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modeling. Eur J Pharm Sci 2020; 150:105317. [PMID: 32205229 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2020.105317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2019] [Revised: 02/27/2020] [Accepted: 03/19/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In infliximab (IFX) treatment for Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), it is difficult to predict treatment failure during the induction phase. In the present study for optimal IFX treatment, we attempted to estimate serum IFX concentration and clinical response in individual patients during the induction phase to predict the indication of therapeutic effect and the possibility of treatment failure in the maintenance phase. METHODS We estimated pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) parameters and predicted the serum IFX concentration and clinical response using a PK/PD model and Markov chain Monte Carlo Bayesian analysis method during the induction phase. Then, we determined whether the indication of therapeutic effect between predicted and observed clinical response were matched during the maintenance phase. RESULTS Data obtained from 15 patients were analyzed. The correlation between predicted and observed values of serum IFX concentration (Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, 0.700; P < 0.0001, n = 68) and clinical response of CD patients (0.790; P < 0.0001, n = 25) and UC patients (0.702; P = 0.0004, n = 21) were significantly high. The indication of therapeutic effect at the final time point of each patient (from day 115 to day 203) were successfully predicted in 14 of 15 patients (93.3%). CONCLUSIONS This study presents prediction of serum IFX concentration and clinical response in individual patients during induction therapy, with presumption of the indication of therapeutic effect and the treatment failure in the maintenance phase. Our results show the possibility of optimizing IFX therapy during the induction phase.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION previous studies have shown that higher infliximab trough levels are associated with favorable short-term and long-term therapeutic outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease. There is a need to determine which patients could benefit from proactive therapeutic drug monitoring in the induction phase. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic variability of infliximab, determine the factors associated with achieving target infliximab trough levels in the induction phase and analyze the clinical and biochemical response at week 26 of treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS a retrospective observational study was performed of patients with inflammatory bowel disease and data available on serum levels of infliximab during the induction period. The percentage of patients that achieved target infliximab trough levels at week 6 was determined. Clinical remission and response and biochemical remission were evaluated at week 26. RESULTS thirty patients were included and only 13 (43.3 %) had infliximab trough levels > 15 µg/mL at week 6. A clinical response was observed during the maintenance period in 71.4 % of patients, their infliximab levels were significantly higher than in non-responders (6.3 µg/mL [IQR: 6.7] vs 1.0 µg/mL [IQR: 5.0], respectively; p = 0.016). Likewise, 53.6 % of patients achieved biochemical remission (responders 6.2 µg/mL [IQR: 5.2] vs non-responders 3.2 µg/mL [IQR: 5.0]; p = 0.031). CONCLUSION less than half of patients had target infliximab levels during the induction period. Therapeutic drug monitoring during this period is related to the achievement of therapeutic levels of infliximab and may lead to a better clinical response in these patients.

Abstract
Introduction: Anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) therapy, primarily infliximab and adalimumab, are now increasingly used to induce and maintain disease remission in the pediatric perianal Crohn's disease (CD) population, however, their optimal use has not yet been defined in the pediatric setting.Areas covered: In accordance with a published protocol (PROSPERO no. CRD42019118838), we systematically and critically evaluated all published evidence on the efficacy and safety of anti-TNF-α in children with perianal CD, in the PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane and clinicalTrials.gov databases until October, 18th, 2018. We included in our systematic review 29 articles yielding a total of 565 perianal CD patients aged between 9 months to 18 years.Expert opinion: According to low-quality evidence from small, uncontrolled and heterogeneous descriptive studies, and very few randomized controlled trial, nearly three-fifths children with perianal CD achieved remission with anti-TNF-α treatment and in approximately 40% remission was maintained after 12 months, with practically low discontinuation rate due to serious adverse events. More than half of the patients achieved complete fistula closure. There is still a need for more robust evidence adequately assessing the efficacy and safety of anti-TNF-α therapy in pediatric perianal CD, as well as in comparison with other therapies.
