Effectiveness and safety of adalimumab in patients with intestinal Behçet's disease: a real-world prospective observational study in South Korea. BMC Gastroenterol 2023; 23:449. [PMID: 38114956 PMCID: PMC10729402 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-023-03090-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal Behçet's disease (BD) is characterized by typical gastrointestinal ulcers in patients with BD followed by complications such as bleeding, perforation and fistula. Biologic agents are currently under active investigation to delay the disease course. Various data regarding infliximab are available, but there is relatively lack of data regarding adalimumab. METHODS This was a multicenter, real-world prospective observational study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of adalimumab in intestinal BD. The primary endpoint was disease activity at each follow up, including disease activity index for intestinal Behçet's disease (DAIBD), serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level, and endoscopic findings. The secondary endpoint was the incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). RESULTS A total of 58 patients were enrolled and 8 of them were excluded. Adverse events were reported in 72.0% of patients with 122 events. ADRs were reported in 24.0% with 28 events. For adverse events, arthralgia was most commonly reported (13.1%: 16/122) and only one experienced critical adverse event (0.82%, 1/122: death due to stroke). On multivariable regression analysis, a longer disease duration was significantly associated with decreased ADRs [Odds ratio 0.976 (0.953-0.999, 95% CI); p = 0.042]. Clinical response rates as assessed by DAIBD were 90.9% at Week 12 and 89.7% at Week 56, respectively. The mean serum CRP level at baseline was significantly decreased after 12 weeks (3.91 ± 4.93 to 1.26 ± 2.03 mg/dL; p = 0.0002). CONCLUSION Adalimumab was found to be safe and effective in Korean patients with intestinal BD. A longer disease duration was significantly associated with decreased ADRs.

Effectiveness and Factors Associated with Response to Golimumab in Japanese Patients with Ulcerative Colitis in Real Clinical Practice: The Phoenix Study. Inflamm Intest Dis 2023; 8:115-127. [PMID: 38098492 PMCID: PMC10718581 DOI: 10.1159/000533871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction There have been limited reports on the clinical efficacy of golimumab (GLM) in Japanese patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) in real clinical practice. This study aimed to explore the real-life effectiveness and factors associated with response to GLM in Japanese patients with UC. Methods This observational, retrospective, multicenter study was conducted in hospitals with expertise in inflammatory bowel disease treatment. Sixty-three patients treated with GLM and active UC were included in the analysis. Clinical remission (CR) (partial Mayo (pMayo) score ≤2) in the induction and maintenance phases after GLM treatment and associated factors were evaluated. Results The proportion of patients achieving CR in the induction and maintenance phases was 41.3% (26/63) and 46.0% (29/63, the last observation carried forward method was used for patients who discontinued treatment for reasons other than inadequate response), respectively. The median pMayo score was 5 (interquartile range (IQR): 4-6) at baseline, 3 (IQR: 1-5) in the induction phase, and 1 (IQR: 0-3) in the maintenance phase. Hemoglobin, platelet, and C-reactive protein levels changed, consistent with the pMayo score. Multivariate logistic analysis revealed that biologic-naive status was an independent factor associated with CR in the induction (p = 0.0200) and maintenance (p = 0.0459) phases, and a disease duration of >60 months until GLM initiation was associated with CR in the induction phase (p = 0.0427). Conclusions The effectiveness of GLM in daily clinical practice has been confirmed in Japanese patients with active UC. Biologic-naive patients responded more to GLM in the induction and maintenance phases, and patients with disease duration of >60 months until initiation of GLM were more responsive in the induction phase.

Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are rapidly increasing worldwide. IBDs are considered an emerging problem not only in Western countries but also in developing counties. The relapses and complications of active IBD mandate various medications. Nevertheless, hospitalization, emergency room visits, or surgery may be required, resulting in a socioeconomic burden. Great advances have been made in the development of new therapeutic options for IBD to achieve induction and maintenance remission. Nevertheless, conventional therapy is still the mainstay in the treatment of IBD. This review article provides an update on recent advances in conventional therapies, including 5-aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and anti-tumor necrosis factor-α agents to treat IBD.

Jin Y, Lu S, Lin Y, Mou X. The efficacy and safety of TNF inhibitor (golimumab) as salvage treatment in patients with refractory noninfectious uveitis. Inflammopharmacology 2022; 30:1363-1368. [PMID: 35802282 DOI: 10.1007/s10787-022-01019-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) is recently reported to treat noninfectious uveitis (NIU) effectively. However, as a new kind of TNFi, golimumab is just on the market in China for several years, and its administration for NIU treatment lacks sufficient evidence. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of golimumab in refractory NIU patients. METHODS Thirty NIU patients with 49 affected eyes refractory to conventional treatments (corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents) were consecutively enrolled. They received treatment of TNFi (50 mg golimumab every 4 weeks) for at least 6 months. The anterior chamber cell grade, vitreous haziness grade, central macular thickness, and visual acuity were evaluated at baseline, month (M) 1, M3, and M6. RESULTS After treatment, the anterior chamber cell grade declined from baseline (0.6 ± 0.7) to M6 (0.3 ± 0.5) (P < 0.001); the vitreous haziness grade decreased from baseline (1.2 ± 1.2) to M6 (0.4 ± 0.5) (P < 0.001); meanwhile, the central macular thickness also reduced from baseline (351.4 ± 90.8 μm) to M6 (271.8 ± 54.4 μm) (P < 0.001). In terms of visual acuity (LogMAR), it showed a declined trend from baseline (0.5 ± 0.3) to M6 (0.4 ± 0.2), but without statistical significance (P = 0.096). Subgroup analyses revealed that TNFi history related to decreased golimumab efficacy. In addition, 13.3% of patients had adverse events, including elevated liver enzymes (6.7%), fatigue (3.3%), and rash (3.3%). CONCLUSION Golimumab is effective and safe for refractory NIU treatment, while a large-scale trial is still needed for verification.
