Mariani FM, Alunno A, Carubbi F, Ferri C. A rare case of symptomatic creatine kinase elevation in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis treated with baricitinib. Reumatismo 2024; 76. [PMID: 38916168 DOI: 10.4081/reumatismo.2024.1620] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The safety profile of baricitinib (BARI), a Janus kinase inhibitor broadly used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), includes asymptomatic laboratory abnormalities, such as an increase in creatine kinase (CK). Data from randomized controlled trials suggest that concomitant myalgia is rare in RA and does not lead to drug discontinuation. We describe the case of a 68-year-old Caucasian female with longstanding, multi-failure RA who started BARI and achieved disease remission. However, she developed a symptomatic CK increase, as well as a parallel increase in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides. Dechallenge-rechallenge demonstrated a plausible relationship between the clinical/laboratory abnormalities and BARI. In fact, when the drug was withdrawn, CK returned to normal and myalgia disappeared, whereas symptoms returned and CK levels increased when BARI was restarted. BARI may be rarely associated with symptomatic CK elevation, and this may pose clinical challenges, particularly for patients with multi-failure RA who achieved good disease control with BARI but required drug discontinuation due to intolerance.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The recent surge in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cases has paralleled a significant rise in obesity and metabolic comorbidities rates. In this article, we explore the potential influence of obesity and associated metabolic comorbidities on disease progression, complications, treatment response, surgical outcomes, health economics, and the potential impact of obesity treatment on the course of IBD. FINDINGS Contrary to visceral adiposity, obesity does not consistently result in an increased risk of IBD-related complications. Patients with IBD have a higher risk of acute arterial events, likely linked to systemic inflammation. Substantial evidence suggests that obesity has a negative impact on the response to IBD treatment, with this effect being most thoroughly studied in biologics and immunomodulators. The rates of overall complications and post-operative infections are higher in patients who are obese. There are limited but promising data regarding the impact of weight loss techniques, including exercise, medications, and bariatric interventions, on the outcomes in IBD. Both obesity and diabetes have adverse effects on the overall quality of life and place an increased financial burden on the IBD population. A growing body of evidence indicates a connection between obesity and associated metabolic comorbidities and negative outcomes in IBD, yet further efforts are required to fully understand this relationship.

Abstract
Obesity is a multifactorial, chronic, progressive and recurrent disease considered a public health issue worldwide and an important determinant of disability and death. In Spain, its current prevalence in the adult population is about 24% and an estimated prevalence in 2035 of 37%. Obesity increases the probability of several diseases linked to higher mortality such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, arterial hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, several types of cancer, or obstructive sleep apnea. On the other hand, although the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is stabilizing in Western countries, its prevalence already exceeds 0.3%. Paralleling to general population, the current prevalence of obesity in adult patients with IBD is estimated at 15-40%. Obesity in patients with IBD could entail, in addition to its already known impact on disability and mortality, a worse evolution of the IBD itself and a worse response to treatments. The aim of this document, performed in collaboration by four scientific societies involved in the clinical care of severe obesity and IBD, is to establish clear and concise recommendations on the therapeutic possibilities of severe or typeIII obesity in patients with IBD. The document establishes general recommendations on dietary, pharmacological, endoscopic, and surgical treatment of severe obesity in patients with IBD, as well as pre- and post-treatment evaluation.

Abstract
Background Therapeutic targets for ulcerative colitis (UC) and prediction models of antitumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy outcomes have not been fully reported. Objective Investigate the characteristic metabolite and lipid profiles of fecal samples of UC patients before and after adalimumab treatment and develop a prediction model of clinical remission following adalimumab treatment. Design Prospective, observational, multicenter study was conducted on moderate-to-severe UC patients (n = 116). Methods Fecal samples were collected from UC patients at 8 and 56 weeks of adalimumab treatment and from healthy controls (HC, n = 37). Clinical remission was assessed using the Mayo score. Metabolomic and lipidomic analyses were performed using gas chromatography mass spectrometry and nano electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, respectively. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis was performed to establish a remission prediction model. Results Fecal metabolites in UC patients markedly differed from those in HC at baseline and were changed similarly to those in HC during treatment; however, lipid profiles did not show these patterns. After treatment, the fecal characteristics of remitters (RM) were closer to those of HC than to those of non-remitters (NRM). At 8 and 56 weeks, amino acid levels in RM were lower than those in NRM and similar to those in HC. After 56 weeks, levels of 3-hydroxybutyrate, lysine, and phenethylamine decreased, and dodecanoate level increased in RM similarly to those in HC. The prediction model of long-term remission in male patients based on lipid biomarkers showed a higher performance than clinical markers. Conclusion Fecal metabolites in UC patients markedly differ from those in HC, and the levels in RM are changed similarly to those in HC after anti-TNF therapy. Moreover, 3-hydroxybutyrate, lysine, phenethylamine, and dodecanoate are suggested as potential therapeutic targets for UC. A prediction model of long-term remission based on lipid biomarkers may help implement personalized treatment.

Abstract
Background: Pharmacotherapy with biologics and small molecules, as the more effective therapies for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is complex. Choosing the best methods for their utilization in order to induce and maintain remission are critical for practicing gastroenterologists. We aimed to develop an Iranian consensus on the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with biologics and small molecules. Methods: A Delphi consensus was undertaken by experts who performed a literature summary and voting process. Quality of evidence was assessed using the Grading and Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation; and an additional risk of bias-protocol. Results: Following an extensive search of the literature, 219 studies were used to determine the quality of the evidence. After three rounds of voting, consensus (defined as≥80% agreement) was reached for 87 statements. Conclusion: We considered different aspects of pharmacotherapy in this consensus. This guideline, along with clinical judgment, can be used to optimize management of IBD patients.

Abstract
Obesity is prevalent within the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) population, particularly in newly developed countries. Several epidemiological studies have suggested that 15%-40% of IBD patients are obese, and there is a potential role of obesity in the pathogenesis of IBD. The dysfunction of mesenteric fat worsens the inflammatory course of Crohn’s disease and may induce formation of strictures or fistulas. Furthermore, obesity may affect the disease course or treatment response of IBD. Given the increasing data supporting the pathophysiologic and epidemiologic relationship between obesity and IBD, obesity control is being suggested as a novel management for IBD. Therefore, this review aimed to describe the influence of obesity on the outcomes of IBD treatment and to present the current status of pharmacologic or surgical anti-obesity treatments in IBD patients.

Abstract
Mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT) has gained substantial attention as an active player in Crohn's disease (CD), but its clinical significance is poorly understood and likely reflects, in part, difficulties assessing MAT noninvasively. Recent radiologic studies have identified candidate surrogate markers that may reflect inflammatory alterations of MAT in CD and have found that certain features including visceral adipose tissue may inform risk of complicated disease behavior, risk for surgery, and postoperative outcomes. Additionally, emerging surgical data have suggested MAT may even be a therapeutic target to mitigate postoperative recurrence of CD. However, the current studies have variable results, reduced sample sizes, and methodological limitations that preclude incorporating the radiologic and surgical findings into clinical practice. Nonetheless, the results are promising and potentially have important implications for the medical and surgical management of CD, which merits that additional studies are warranted. Thus, we have reviewed the available literature on the medical and surgical implications of MAT in CD to summarize our current understanding and identify gaps in knowledge to inform future investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has several mechanisms of action related to inflammatory responses, especially in individuals diagnosed with obesity. This hyperinflammatory clinical profile resulting from the association between obesity and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may be attenuated by regular physical activity. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to review the evidence on the consequences of physical inactivity and physical activity on COVID-19 in patients with obesity. DESIGN AND SETTING Narrative review at the Bahiana School of Medicine and Public Health in Salvador, Brazil. METHODS We searched evidence on the association of COVID-19 with physical activity and obesity using the following keywords: "covid-19," "physical activity," and "obesity". The databases used were MEDLINE (PubMed), ScienceDirect, and Virtual Health Library. Studies published from 2019 to 2021 and available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish were included. The final search was conducted on September 26, 2021. RESULTS We identified 661 studies in the database, among which 71 were considered for inclusion in the narrative review of the molecular aspects of COVID-19 and its relationship with physical activity and obesity. CONCLUSION This literature review enabled the perception of the relationship between the molecular mechanisms of COVID-19 and obesity. Regular physical activity had various benefits for the inflammatory condition of the studied population, highlighting moderate-intensity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity is variably associated with treatment response in biologic-treated patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). We evaluated the association between obesity and risk of hospitalization, surgery, or serious infections in patients with IBD in new users of biologic agents in a large, multicenter, electronic health record (EHR)-based cohort (CA-IBD). METHODS We created an EHR-based cohort of adult patients with IBD who were new users of biologic agents (tumor necrosis factor [TNF-α] antagonists, ustekinumab, and vedolizumab) between January 1, 2010, and June 30, 2017, from 5 health systems in California. Patients were classified as those with normal body mass index (BMI), overweight, or obese based on the World Health Organization classification. We compared the risk of all-cause hospitalization, IBD-related surgery, or serious infections among patients with obesity vs those overweight vs those with normal BMI, using Cox proportional hazard analyses, adjusting for baseline demographic, disease, and treatment characteristics. RESULTS Of 3,038 biologic-treated patients with IBD (69% with Crohn's disease and 76% on TNF-α antagonists), 28.2% (n = 858) were overweight, and 13.7% (n = 416) were obese. On a follow-up after biologic initiation, obesity was not associated with an increased risk of hospitalization (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] vs normal BMI, 0.90; [95% confidence interval, 0.72-1.13]); IBD-related surgery (aHR, 0.62 [0.31-1.22]); or serious infection (aHR, 1.11 [0.73-1.71]). Similar results were observed on stratified analysis by disease phenotype (Crohn's disease vs ulcerative colitis) and index biologic therapy (TNF-α antagonists vs non-TNF-α antagonists). DISCUSSION In a multicenter, EHR-based cohort of biologic-treated patients with IBD, obesity was not associated with hospitalization, surgery, or serious infections. Further studies examining the effect of visceral obesity on patient-reported and endoscopic outcomes are needed.

Abstract
Historically, dietitians played a minor part in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Patients were commonly referred for consequences of uncontrolled disease, such as malnutrition and bowel obstruction risk. Today, dietitians are fundamental members of the multidisciplinary IBD team, from educating on the role of diet at diagnosis and throughout the lifespan of a patient with IBD to guiding primary induction therapy. This aspect is reflected in published guidelines for IBD management, which previously placed diet as only a minor factor, but now have diet-specific publications. This Review describes a four-step approach in a dietitian's assessment and management of diet in patients with IBD: (1) identifying and correcting nutritional gaps and dietary imbalances; (2) considering diet to treat active disease with the use of exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) or emerging diets that could replace EEN; (3) using therapeutic diets to control existing complications of IBD, such as reduced fibre to prevent bowel obstruction in stricturing disease or a fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols diet to manage co-existing functional gut symptoms; and (4) considering the role of diet in preventing IBD development in high-risk populations.

Abstract
Environmental and lifestyle factors play an important role in the natural history of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. A group of international experts from the International Organization for the Study of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases voted on a series of consensus statements to inform the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The recommendations include avoiding traditional cigarette smoking in patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, screening for symptoms of depression, anxiety, and psychosocial stressors at diagnosis and during flares (with referral to mental health professionals when appropriate), and encouraging regular physical activity as tolerated. Patients using dietary approaches for treatment of their IBD should be encouraged to adopt diets that are best supported by evidence and involve monitoring for the objective resolution of inflammation. We recommend formal assessment for obesity and nutritional deficiencies, and patients should be encouraged to maintain a normal body-mass index. A shared decision-making approach to contraception should include the consideration of IBD-related factors, and risk factors for venous thromboembolism. Long-term or frequent use of high-dose non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be avoided. For primary prevention of disease in the offspring of patients with IBD, we recommend avoiding passive exposure to tobacco, using antibiotics judiciously, and considering breastfeeding when able.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity is an emerging phenomenon among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aims to evaluate whether the response to tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitors (infliximab and adalimumab) could be influenced by BMI in IBD. METHODS We identified a cohort of 181 IBD patients attending a single-tertiary centre, naive to biologic therapy and stratified them according to their BMI. The primary outcome is the first occurrence of loss of response (LOR). RESULTS The median BMI was 26 kg/m2 (15-63 kg/m2). Approximately 68% of patients had LOR on both adalimumab (ADA) (n = 52) and infliximab (IFX) (n = 71). However, 83% on ADA with BMI ≥30 kg/m2 had LOR compared to 61% on IFX with BMI ≥30 kg/m2. For patients on ADA, Cox regression analysis revealed that after accounting for age, sex, disease type, duration of disease, fistulising disease, smoking status, haemoglobin, C-reactive protein, albumin and platelet levels, there were statistically significant associations between BMI (≥30 kg/m2 vs. <30 kg/m2) and LOR [P = 0.010; hazard ratio (HR) 3.2; confidence interval (CI), 1.3-7.6]. However, for patients on IFX, after accounting for the same factors, the only significant factor was the association of lower rate of LOR with higher albumin levels (P = 0.024; HR 0.95; CI, 0.91-0.99). There was an increased accelerated time to LOR for patients on ADA with BMI ≥30 kg/m2 compared to BMI <30 kg/m2 (P = 0.026). However, there was no difference in time to LOR for patients on IFX (P = 0.177). CONCLUSION BMI is important in predicting the LOR among IBD patients on TNF-α inhibitors, especially among patients receiving ADA.

Visceral Adipose Tissue Volumetrics Inform Odds of Treatment Response and Risk of Subsequent Surgery in IBD Patients Starting Antitumor Necrosis Factor Therapy. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2022; 28:657-666.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data describing the effect of obesity on antitumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) treatment response are inconsistent. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a superior marker of adiposity to body mass index. However, its effect on treatment response is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the effect of VAT on anti-TNF treatment response. METHODS Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients starting anti-TNF agents between January 1, 2009, and July 31, 2019, were included. 3-dimensional measurements of VAT volume and visceral fat index (visceral:subcutaneous adipose tissue ratio; VFI) were obtained from computed tomography (CT) scans. Subjects were categorized by predefined volume cutoffs (<1500cm3, 1500-2999cm3, ≥3000cm3) and VFI (<0.33, 0.33-0.66, ≥0.67). Primary outcomes included a composite treatment response end point at 6 and 12 months. Secondary outcomes were surgery at 6 and 12 months. Multivariable logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS The final cohort included 176 patients. No significant differences in treatment response at 6 months was observed. At 12 months, compared with volume <1500cm3, patients with volume 1500-2999cm3 had higher odds of response (aOR, 3.52; 95% CI, 1.16-10.71; P = .023), whereas volume ≥3000cm3 did not. Compared with VFI<0.33, VFI ≥0.67 had higher odds of surgery at 6 (aOR, 48.22; 95% CI, 4.73-491.57; P = .023) and 12 months (aOR, 20.94; 95% CI, 3.14-139.67; P = .004). Post hoc analysis suggested VAT may affect drug pharmacokinetics. CONCLUSIONS We found VAT volume is associated with anti-TNF treatment response in a nondose dependent manner, and VFI may inform risk of surgery after anti-TNF initiation. If confirmed by prospective studies, VAT volumetrics are potentially useful biomarkers to inform IBD treatment decisions.

Abstract
The number of available biological therapies have doubled over the last 10 years and the arrival of novel molecules (interleukin 23p19 inhibitors) is ongoing alongside the development of small molecules. As a result of this vast landscape of treatment, positioning advanced therapies (according to clinical situation, efficacy and safety) is of paramount importance to providing personalized, appropriate IBD treatment. In this publication the recent available literature is summarized for practical integration into clinical practice including comparative efficacy data, patient and disease demographics. We refer to recent publications and expert opinion in order to facilitate the decision making process of positioning biologicals IBD treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infliximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody against tumour necrosis factor-alpha for the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Recently, a subcutaneous formulation of CT-P13, an infliximab biosimilar, was approved for clinical use. AIMS To characterise CT-P13 pharmacokinetics (PK) and its clinically relevant determinants after subcutaneous administration through population PK modelling. METHODS Data from a two-part Phase I study with intravenous (5 mg/kg) and variable maintenance subcutaneous dosing of CT-P13 with frequent PK sampling in patients with CD or UC were used. Population PK analysis was conducted by non-linear mixed effects modelling. Covariates affecting PK parameters were chosen based on their clinical relevance (effect size of ≥20%) using a full fixed-effect modelling approach. RESULTS CT-P13 PK was described by a two-compartment model with linear elimination. The half-life in a typical 70 kg patient with serum albumin of 44 g/L was 10.8 days. The typical value for clearance was 0.355 L/d, absorption constant 0.273/d, bioavailability 79.1%, central volume of distribution 3.10 L and peripheral volume of distribution 1.93 L. Clinically relevant covariates affecting clearance were body weight (+43.2% from 70 to 120 kg), the presence of anti-drug antibodies (+39%) and serum albumin concentration (+30.1% from 44 to 32 g/L). Simulated drug exposure was comparable between routes of administration for patients weighing 50 or 70 kg, but lower with subcutaneous dosing in patients weighing 120 kg. CONCLUSIONS This first population PK model for subcutaneous CT-P13 supports fixed subcutaneous maintenance dosing, although heavy patients had lower cumulative drug exposure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Studies in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) have inconsistently suggested that anti-TNFα therapy may be associated with excessive weight gain. AREAS COVERED We performed a nested case/non-case analysis to investigate the anti-TNF-α inhibitor-associated body-changes in the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. The risk was expressed as a measure of disproportionality using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) while adjusting for sex, drugs known to cause weight gain and reporter type. We also performed a time-to-onset (TTO) analysis of body weight-related events. RESULTS Infliximab was the most commonly involved TNF-α inhibitor in body weight-related changes, reaching an aROR of 1.42 (95%CI:1. 26; 1.59). An increased risk was especially found in patients affected by rheumatic disorders, both in the adult and pediatric population. The median TTO after the start of anti- TNFα therapy was about 6-7 months for both children and adults. CONCLUSIONS Given the potential effect of these agents on the excess weight gain in IMIDs patients, continuous attention for this side effect with appropriate counseling regarding lifestyle modifications are warranted, especially in those at high risk for obesity.

Abstract
In contrast to previous perceptions that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients are generally malnourished and underweight, there is mounting evidence to suggest that rates of obesity in IBD now mirror that of the general population. IBD is an immune-mediated condition that appears to develop in individuals who have not only a genetic predisposition to immune dysregulation but also likely exposure to various environmental factors which further potentiate this risk. With the surge in obesity alongside the rising incidence of IBD, particularly in developing nations, the role that obesity may play, not only in the pathogenesis but also in the natural history of disease has become a topic of growing interest. Currently available data exploring obesity's impact on the natural history of IBD are largely conflicting, potentially limited by the use of body mass index as a surrogate measure of obesity at varying time points throughout the disease course. While there are pharmacokinetic data to suggest possible detrimental effects that obesity may have on the response to medical therapy, results in this realm are also inconsistent. Moreover, not only is it unclear whether weight loss improves IBD outcomes, little is known about the safety and efficacy of available weight-loss strategies in this population. For these reasons, it becomes increasingly important to further understand the nature of any interaction between obesity and IBD.

Abstract
Background Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors have been widely used for the treatment of moderate-to-severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). TNFα also plays an important role in the regulation of weight homeostasis and metabolism and has been linked to variations in anthropometric responses. This relationship in patients with IBD has yet to be determined. Objectives Our objective was to evaluate the effects of TNFα inhibitors on changes in anthropometric measures in both adults and children with IBD through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods Multiple database searches identified studies involving children and adults with IBD and treated with TNFα inhibitors and reporting at least one primary outcome measure. Where possible, data were combined for meta-analysis. The primary outcomes included weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, height, height/velocity, and fat and lean mass. Secondary outcomes included surrogate markers of disease activity. A random-effects model was used to estimate the standardised mean difference (SMD). Results In total, 23 cohort studies (total 1167 participants) met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was performed on 13 of these studies. In children, 6–29.3 months of anti-TNFα therapy had a small but statistically significant effect on weight (SMD 0.31; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.12–0.49; P = 0.001) with a mean gain in z score of 0.30 (standard error [SE] 0.12). In adults, 2–22.4 months of treatment had a moderate effect on BMI (SMD 0.72; 95% CI 0.17–1.26; P = 0.010; mean gain 1.23 kg/m2; SE 0.21). A small but statistically significant increase in BMI z score was found in children (SMD 0.28; 95% CI 0.03–0.53; P = 0.026; mean change 0.31 ± standard deviation [SD] 0.14) after 12–29.3 months of therapy. A meta-analysis of four studies found a negligible but statistically significant increase in height (SMD 0.16; 95% CI 0.06–0.26; P = 0.002; mean change 0.17 z score [SE 0.05]). A negligible effect on fat mass (SMD 0.24; 95% CI −0.19–0.66; P = 0.272) was found in a meta-analysis of five studies. Of note, despite the high heterogeneity among the studies that addressed the issue, these results were also consistently supported by findings from studies not included in the meta-analysis and reviewed in the systematic review. Unfortunately, a lack of data meant we were unable to perform moderator analysis on observed heterogeneity. Conclusion Anti-TNFα treatment appears to be associated with an increase in body weight, BMI, and other anthropometric parameters. Given the differing courses of IBD between children and adults, this association should be considered before initiating biologics for undernourished, overweight, and obese patients.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies was to ascertain to effects of TNF-α inhibitor therapy on body weight and BMI. Methods Three databases (PubMed, OVID, and EMBASE) were systematically searched from inception to August 2018. We identified prospective, retrospective, and randomized controlled studies in adults with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases treated with TNF-α inhibitors based on pre-specified inclusion criteria. A random-effects model was used to estimate standardised mean change (SMCC). Results Twenty-six longitudinal studies with a total of 1,245 participants were included in the meta-analysis. We found evidence for a small increase in body weight (SMCC = 0.24, p = .0006, 95% CI [0.10, 0.37]) and in BMI (SMCC = 0.26, p < .0001, 95% CI [0.13, 0.39]). On average, patients gained 0.90kg (SD = 5.13) under infliximab, 2.34kg (D = 5.65) under etanercept and 2.27kg (SD = 4.69) during treatment with adalimumab within the duration of the respective studies (4–104 weeks). Conclusion Our results yield further support the for the view that TNF-α inhibitors increase body weight and BMI as a potential side effect. Modulating cytokine signaling could be a future therapeutic mechanism to treat disorders associated with weight changes such as anorexia nervosa.
