Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease in children, and adalimumab is one of the primary treatment options. Although it is widely used for inflammatory diseases, there is limited research on its safety and efficacy in patients with psychiatric disorders or in those with inflammatory diseases who also have comorbid psychiatric conditions. CASE REPORT We report a 12-year-old adolescent boy who presented with emotional instability for 1 year, exacerbated leading to hospital admission in the past month. Upon detailed evaluation after admission, it was found that the patient's emotional fluctuations may be related to the use of Adalimumab. Follow-up after psychiatric inpatient treatment revealed that the patient did not experience emotional excitement again after discontinuing Adalimumab. CONCLUSIONS Although tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors have positive effects on the emotional, cognitive, and physical functions of patients with inflammatory diseases, their use may induce mood swings in patients with comorbid mood disorders. This is particularly important for adolescents with rapid mood changes, where greater caution is required. Further research is necessary to clarify the correlation between the adverse effects of these drugs and their impact on patients with bipolar disorder.

Abstract
A growing number of studies support a bidirectional relationship between inflammation and bipolar disorders. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitors have recently attracted interest as potential therapeutic compounds for treating depressive symptoms, but the risk for triggering mood switches in patients with or without bipolar disorders remains controversial. Thus, we conducted a systematic review to study the anti-TNF-α medication-induced manic or hypomanic episodes. PubMed, Scopus, Medline, and Embase databases were screened for a comprehensive literature search from inception until November 2020, using The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Out of the initial 75 references, the screening resulted in the inclusion of four case reports (each describing one patient) and a cohort study (in which 40 patients out of 7600-0.53% - experienced elated mood episodes after infliximab administration). Of these 44 patients, 97.7% experienced a manic episode and 2.3% hypomania. 93.2% of patients had no history of psychiatric disorder or psychotropic treatment. Only 6.8% had a history of psychiatric disorders with the affective spectrum (4.6% dysthymia and 2.3% bipolar disorder). The time of onset of manic or hypomanic symptoms varied across TNF-α inhibitors with an early onset for Infliximab and a later onset for Adalimumab and Etanercept. These findings suggest that medications targeting the TNF-α pathway may trigger a manic episode in patients with or without affective disorders. However, prospective studies are needed to evaluate the relative risk of such side effects and identify the population susceptible to secondary mania.

J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2021; 36:125-130. [PMID: 32497325 DOI: 10.1111/jgh.15128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2020] [Revised: 05/23/2020] [Accepted: 05/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Ustekinumab is a human monoclonal antibody targeting the p40 subunit of both interleukin-12 and interleukin-23 with reported efficacy to treat Crohn's disease. However, few studies have reported the use of ustekinumab for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease. This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of ustekinumab in children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease. METHODS Medical records of patients aged under 20 years with Crohn's disease or Crohn's disease-like inflammatory bowel disease who had received ustekinumab at a Japanese pediatric inflammatory bowel disease center were retrospectively reviewed for efficacy and safety. The primary outcome was the steroid-free clinical remission rate at weeks 26 and 52. The steroid-free remission rate beyond week 52 was also evaluated. Weighted pediatric Crohn's disease activity index and simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease were used to assess disease activity. RESULTS Seventeen patients were included (male : female = 8:9, A1a [diagnosed < 10 years old]:A1b [diagnosed ≥ 10 years old] = 8:9). All patients were on ustekinumab at week 26, and 9/10 continued treatment over 1 year. The steroid-free clinical remission rates were 59% at week 26, 50% at week 52, and 70% over 1 year. Three of eight children who underwent endoscopy after ustekinumab introduction achieved endoscopic remission. No serious adverse events were recorded during the study period. CONCLUSIONS Ustekinumab may be an effective and safe treatment option for pediatric and adolescent Crohn's disease and Crohn's disease-like inflammatory bowel disease patients having nonresponse or adverse reactions to anti-tumor necrosis factor agents.

Psychiatric Adverse Events Associated With Infliximab: A Cohort Study From the French Nationwide Discharge Abstract Database. Front Pharmacol 2020; 11:513. [PMID: 32390850 PMCID: PMC7188945 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2020.00513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2020] [Accepted: 04/01/2020] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Infliximab (IFX) was the first anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNFα) antibody to be used in the treatment of severe chronic inflammatory diseases, such as Crohn’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis. A number of serious adverse drug reactions are known to be associated with IFX use; they include infections, malignancies, and injection site reactions. Although a few case reports have described potential psychiatric adverse events (including suicide attempts and manic episodes), the latter are barely mentioned in IFX’s summary of product characteristics. The objective of the present retrospective study was to detect potential psychiatric adverse events associated with IFX treatment by analyzing a national discharge abstract database. Materials and Methods We performed an historical cohort study by analyzing data from the French national hospital discharge abstract database (PMSI) between 2008 and 2014. All patients admitted with one of the five diseases treated with IFX were included. Results Of the 325,319 patients included in the study, 7,600 had been treated with IFX. The proportion of hospital admissions for one or more psychiatric events was higher among IFX-exposed patients (750 out of 7,600; 9.87%) than among non-exposed patients (17,456 out of 317,719; 5.49%). After taking account of potential confounders in the cohort as a whole, a semi-parametric Cox regression analysis gave an overall hazard ratio (HR) [95% confidence interval] (CI) of 4.5 [3.95; 5.13] for a hospital admission with a psychiatric adverse event during treatment with IFX. The HR (95%CI) for a depressive disorder was 4.97 (7.35; 6.68). Even higher risks were observed for certain pairs of adverse events and underlying pathologies: psychotic disorders in patients treated for ulcerative colitis (HR = 5.43 [2.01; 14.6]), manic episodes in patients treated for severe psoriasis (HR = 12.6 [4.65; 34.2]), and suicide attempts in patients treated for rheumatoid arthritis (HR = 4.45 [1.11; 17.9]). Discussion The present retrospective, observational study confirmed that IFX treatment is associated with an elevated risk of psychiatric adverse events. Depending on the disease treated, physicians should be aware of these potential adverse events.
