Abstract
OBJECTIVE Clinical studies commonly use disease-specific measures to assess patients' health-related quality of life. However, economic evaluation often requires preference-based utility index scores to calculate cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY). When utility index scores are not directly available, mappings are useful. To our knowledge, no mapping exists for the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ). Our aim was to develop a mapping from SIBDQ to the EQ-5D-5L index score with German weights for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. METHODS We used 3856 observations of 1055 IBD patients who participated in a randomised controlled trial in Germany on the effect of introducing regular appointments with an IBD nurse specialist in addition to standard care with biologics. We considered five data availability scenarios. For each scenario, we estimated different regression and machine learning models: linear mixed-effects regression, mixed-effects Tobit regression, an adjusted limited dependent variable mixture model and a mixed-effects regression forest. We selected the final models with tenfold cross-validation based on a model subset and validated these with observations in a validation subset. RESULTS For the first four data availability scenarios, we selected mixed-effects Tobit regressions as final models. For the fifth scenario, mixed-effects regression forest performed best. Our findings suggest that the demographic variables age and gender do not improve the mapping, while including SIBDQ subscales, IBD disease type, BMI and smoking status leads to better predictions. CONCLUSION We developed an algorithm mapping SIBDQ values to EQ-5D-5L index scores for different sets of covariates in IBD patients. It is implemented in the following web application: https://www.bwl.uni-hamburg.de/hcm/forschung/mapping.html .

Abstract
BACKGROUND IBDBIO-ASSIST was a randomised controlled trial assessing the efficacy of care provided by IBD nurse specialists in Germany in improving health-related quality of life (QoL) in IBD patients on biologic therapy. AIM To evaluate patient-related outcomes and economic consequences associated with integrating IBD nurses into usual care. METHODS We randomly assigned 1086 patients with IBD on biologic therapy to a control group (CG) receiving usual care or an intervention group (IG) receiving additional care from an IBD nurse specialist. The primary outcome was disease-specific QoL (sIBDQ) assessed at 6, 12 and 18 months. RESULTS At baseline, patients in both groups were highly satisfied with their treatment situation and had relatively high sIBDQ values (range: 1-7; CG: 5.12; IG: 4.92). In the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis of the overall sample, there was no significant difference in sIBDQ between groups at the assessment time points. However, a per-protocol analysis of patients with impaired QoL at baseline (EQ-VAS < 75 [median]), showed improvement in sIBDQ over 6 months that became significant at month 12 and remained significant through month 18 (baseline: IG 4.24; CG 4.31; 18 months: IG 5.02; CG 4.76; p = 0.017). CONCLUSION High baseline satisfaction of IBD patients with treatment and the relatively high baseline sIBDQ values may have contributed to the lack of significant difference in sIBDQ scores for the overall sample. However, patients with impaired QoL derived significant benefit from additional care provided by an IBD nurse specialist, leading to meaningful improvements in sIBDQ over the long term.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In addition to randomized controlled trials (RCTs), real-world studies on the effectiveness of ustekinumab (UST) in Crohn's disease (CD) are required inasmuch as RCTs are usually confined to selected patients, which may not represent everyday clinical practice. Within the framework of the prospective real-world RUN-CD registry, a total of approximately 900 CD patients from 44 inflammatory bowel disease centers from all over Germany starting a new therapy with UST or other biologics were screened for a real-world evidence (RWE) comparison of CD patients with UST vs antitumor necrosis factor (TNF). METHODS A total of 618 CD patients with a nonrandomized biological therapy were qualified for this induction phase effectiveness RUN-CD study of UST vs anti-TNF. To reduce selection bias in estimations of treatment effects, the propensity score with inverse probability of treatment weighting was implemented. The results were reported as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS A total of 339 UST and 279 anti-TNF patients were analyzed. The effectiveness of UST vs anti-TNF in terms of clinical remission (UST 65.4% vs anti-TNF 63.0%; OR, 1.11; 95% CI, 0.71-1.74) and steroid-free remission (UST 51.0% vs anti-TNF 53.8%; OR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.60-1.47) was comparable at the end of induction therapy. Similar results were observed in the bio-naïve and bio-experienced UST vs anti-TNF groups. For both, the remission rates were higher in the bio-naïve than in the bio-experienced groups (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS In this prospective, observational RUN-CD study, the RWE head-to-head comparison of UST vs anti-TNF showed similar induction effectiveness in both groups, remarkably higher than those found in prior RCTs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This observational real-world evidence (RWE) study is based on prospectively collected data from the VEDOIBD registry study. AIM To compare the effectiveness of vedolizumab and anti-TNF agents in biologic-naïve patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) at the end of induction and during maintenance treatment. METHODS Between 2017 and 2020, we enrolled 512 patients with UC starting therapy with vedolizumab or an anti-TNF agent in 45 IBD centres across Germany. We excluded biologic-experienced patients and those with missing partial Mayo (pMayo) outcomes; this resulted in a final sample of 314 (182 on vedolizumab and 132 on an anti-TNF agent). The primary outcome was clinical remission measured using pMayo score; any switch to a different biologic agent was considered an outcome failure (modified ITT analysis). We used propensity score adjustment with inverse probability of treatment weighting to correct for confounding. RESULTS During induction therapy, clinical remission was relatively low and similar in vedolizumab- and anti-TNF-treated patients (23% vs. 30.4%, p = 0.204). However, clinical remission rates after two years were significantly higher for vedolizumab-treated patients than those treated with an anti-TNF agent (43.2% vs. 25.8%, p < 0.011). Among patients treated with vedolzumab, 29% switched to other biologics, versus 54% who had received an anti-TNF agent. CONCLUSION After two years of treatment, vedolizumab resulted in higher remission rates than anti-TNF agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this observational, real-world evidence, modified intention-to-treat (mITT) study based on prospectively collected data from the VEDOIBD registry was to compare the effectiveness of vedolizumab (VEDO) vs antitumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) in biologic-naïve Crohn's disease (CD) patients. METHODS Between 2017 and 2020, 557 CD patients starting therapy with VEDO or anti-TNF were consecutively enrolled in 45 IBD centers across Germany. Per study protocol, the analysis excluded biologic-experienced patients and those with a missing Harvey-Bradshaw Index score, resulting in a final sample of 327 biologic-naïve CD patients. Clinical remission was measured using the Harvey-Bradshaw Index at the end of induction therapy and after 1 and 2 years. Switching to a different therapy was considered an outcome failure. Propensity score adjustment with inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to correct for confounding. RESULTS The effectiveness of both VEDO (n = 86) and anti-TNF (n = 241) was remarkably high for induction treatment, but VEDO performed significantly less well than anti-TNF (clinical remission: 56.3% vs 73.9%, P < .05). In contrast, clinical remission after 2 years was significantly better for VEDO compared with anti-TNF (74.2% vs 44.7%; P < .05; odds ratio, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.22-0.94). Remarkably, only 17% of patients switched from VEDO to another biologic vs 44% who received anti-TNF. CONCLUSIONS The results of this prospective, 2-year, real-world evidence study suggest that the choice of VEDO led to higher remission rates after 2 years compared with anti-TNF. This could support the role of VEDO as a first-line biologic therapy in CD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this non-interventional, observational prospective cohort study (CONNECT-IBD) was to assess the use of CT-P13 (Inflectra®) in the treatment of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) in the context of treatment with reference infliximab (IFX; Remicade®). METHODS Patients (recruited April 2015 to October 2018) at 150 sites across 13 European countries were followed for up to 2 years. Primary outcomes were safety, population characteristics, and drug utilization patterns. Secondary outcomes included clinical assessment of disease activity. Data were analyzed descriptively. RESULTS Overall, 2543 patients (CD, n = 1676; UC, n = 867) were included. In the CT-P13 cohort (n = 1522), median disease duration was 63 (0-579) months and 30% of patients were IFX naïve; median duration of prior IFX treatment was 5 months. During the observation period, median duration of drug exposure was 14 (0-28) months. 41% of patients reported 912 all-causality treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs); 24% experienced treatment-related TEAEs. Most TEAEs were of mild-to-moderate severity. Treatment-emergent serious adverse events were reported by 17% of patients. CONCLUSION Safety information for CT-P13 in this large study was consistent with the known safety profile for IFX and did not alter the established benefit-risk profile of CT-P13.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Filgotinib was approved in Germany for treating patients with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis in November 2021. It represents a preferential Janus kinase 1 inhibitor. The FilgoColitis study began recruiting immediately after approval and aims to assess filgotinib effectiveness under real-world conditions with a particular focus on patient-reported outcomes (PROs). The novelty of the study design is the optional inclusion of 2 innovative wearables, which could provide a new layer of patient-derived data. OBJECTIVE The study investigates quality of life (QoL) and psychosocial well-being of patients with active ulcerative colitis during long-term exposure to filgotinib. PROs related to QoL and psychometric profiles (fatigue and depression) are collected alongside with disease activity symptom scores. We aim to evaluate physical activity patterns collected by wearables as an addition to traditional PROs, patient-reported health status, and QoL in different phases of disease activity. METHODS This is a prospective, single-arm, multicentric, noninterventional, observational study with a sample size of 250 patients. QoL is assessed with validated questionnaires: the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (sIBDQ) for the disease-specific QoL, the EQ-5D for the general QoL, and the fatigue questionnaire (Inflammatory Bowel Disease-Fatigue [IBD-F]). Physical activity data are collected from patients using wearables (SENS motion leg sensor [accelerometry] and smartwatch, GARMIN vívosmart 4). RESULTS The enrollment started in December 2021 and was still open at the date of submission. After 6 months of study initiation, 69 patients were enrolled. The study is expected to be completed in June 2026. CONCLUSIONS Real-world data for novel drugs are important to assess effectiveness outside of highly selected populations represented by randomized controlled trials. We examine whether patients' QoL and other PROs can be supplemented with physical activity patterns measured objectively. Use of wearables with newly defined outcomes represents an additional observational tool for monitoring disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Many patients treated for ulcerative colitis (UC) do not achieve clinical remission. This real-world study assessed clinical remission and inadequate response rates among patients with UC in Germany treated with advanced therapies. METHODS This retrospective chart review included patients with UC newly initiating advanced (index) therapy (anti-TNFα agents, vedolizumab, tofacitinib) from January 2017-September 2019 (index date). Included patients had data for ≥ 12 months before (baseline period) and after the index date (follow-up period). Remission was defined as a partial Mayo score ≤ 1. Indicators of inadequate response were: index therapy discontinuation; therapy adjustments (index therapy dose escalation; augmentation with non-advanced therapies; corticosteroid [CS] use during maintenance therapy); CS dependency (use for ≥ 12 weeks); and UC-related hospitalisation, surgery or emergency department visit. Time to first remission and inadequate response were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier analyses. RESULTS Among 149 patients with UC (median age: 40 years), 96 (64.4%) were biologic-naïve and 42 (28.2%) received CS at the index date. Within 12 months, 52 patients (47.2%) were in remission; of these, 13 patients (25.0%) received ≥ 1 therapy adjustment. At 12 months, 55 patients (37.6%) had ≥ 1 indicator of an inadequate response. Median time to remission was longer among biologic-experienced vs biologic-naïve patients (24 vs 7 months; p = 0.012). CONCLUSION Over half of the patients were not in clinical remission after 12 months and more than one-third experienced inadequate response. One-quarter of patients in remission required therapy adjustments. Patients with UC require therapies that are more effective than those currently available to achieve better treatment outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Under the assumption of irreversibility, the Montreal classification provides a unidirectional assessment of the complications and behaviour of Crohn's disease (CD) that does not allow for downstaging. We examined the use of a bidirectional Montreal classification system that can capture disease regression. DESIGN From the BioCrohn Registry, an inception cohort of patients with CD for ≤12 months duration was defined and followed up for 5-years. Cumulative probabilities for developing complications were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Potential associations of explanatory variables with disease progression were estimated with Cox regression. RESULTS Among 393 incident CD patients (of whom 255 completed the entire follow-up), the 5-year cumulative probability of developing complications was 41.5% (15.6% and 25.9% for stricturing and penetrating complications respectively). Perianal disease (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 8.45 [4.74-15.07]) and surgical resection of the intestine (2.71 [1.50-4.92]) in the very early phase of the disease were associated with a higher risk of developing a penetrating complication within the 5-year follow-up. The use of a bidirectional Montreal classification system which can account for disease regression demonstrated that 90% of patients exhibited inflammatory disease behaviour at 5 years, in contrast to 58%, if the hierarchical, unidirectional Montreal classification system was used. CONCLUSION An additional bidirectional disease behaviour assessment capturing reversed or fully controlled complications may provide a more realistic appraisal of the complexity and unmet needs of patients treated with advanced therapies.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the burden of disease among a real-world cohort of patients with prevalent Crohn's disease (CD) in Germany. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis using administrative claims data from the German AOK PLUS health insurance fund. Continuously insured patients with a CD diagnosis between 01 October 2014 and 31 December 2018 were selected and followed for at least 12 months or longer until death or end of data availability on 31 December 2019. Medication use (biologics, immunosuppressants (IMS), steroids, 5-aminosalicylic acid) was assessed sequentially in the follow-up period. Among patients with no IMS or biologics (advanced therapy), we investigated indicators of active disease and corticosteroid use. RESULTS Overall, 9284 prevalent CD patients were identified. Within the study period, 14.7% of CD patients were treated with biologics and 11.6% received IMS. Approximately 47% of all prevalent CD patients had mild disease, defined as no advanced therapy and signs of disease activity. Of 6836 (73.6%) patients who did not receive advanced therapy in the follow-up period, 36.3% showed signs of active disease; 40.1% used corticosteroids (including oral budesonide), with 9.9% exhibiting steroid dependency (≥ 1 prescription every 3 months for at least 12 months) in the available follow-up. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that there remains a large burden of disease among patients who do not receive IMS or biologics in the real world in Germany. A revision of treatment algorithms of patients in this setting according to the latest guidelines may improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The positioning of new biologic agents for the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD) following failure of initial anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy remains a challenge in the real world. OBJECTIVES This study aims to investigate the real-world outcomes associated with the sequential use of biologics in CD patients that newly initiate anti-TNFs, specifically comparing those that switch to another anti-TNF versus biologics with other modes of action. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS We identified CD patients who newly began anti-TNF therapy between 1 October 2014 and 31 December 2018 using two German claims databases. Patients were classified as within-class switchers (WCS) if they switched to another anti-TNF or outside-class switchers (OCS) if they switched to vedolizumab (VDZ) or ustekinumab (UST). To compare WCS and OCS, baseline covariates were adjusted through inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW), and time-to-event analyses were performed using Cox Proportional Hazard regressions. Results from both databases were meta-analyzed using an inverse variance model. RESULTS Overall, 376 prevalent adult CD patients who initiated anti-TNFs and switched to another biologic were identified. After IPTW, there were 152 and 177 patients in the WCS and OCS group, respectively. WCS were more likely to receive prolonged corticosteroid therapy [hazard ratio (HR): 1.63, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.17-2.27, p = 0.004], switch a second time to a different biologic (HR: 2.44, 95% CI: 1.63-3.66, p < 0.001), and discontinue treatment (HR: 1.71, 95% CI: 1.25-2.34, p = 0.001) than OCS. CONCLUSION This study suggests that CD patients exhibit more favorable outcomes when switching outside the anti-TNF class to VDZ or UST after initial anti-TNF failure than switching to a second anti-TNF. With loss of response to anti-TNFs as a concern in the real world, comparative evidence from claims data assessing sequential use of biologics can help optimize treatment algorithms of patients after anti-TNF failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Real-world data regarding response rates in ulcerative colitis treatment are rare, particularly for later lines of therapy. This study aimed to assess continuity of and changes to advanced therapies, as well as costs and specific indicators defining suboptimal therapy. METHODS German claims data were retrospectively analyzed (January 2014 to June 2019). Patients with ulcerative colitis initiating an advanced therapy (adalimumab, golimumab, infliximab, tofacitinib, vedolizumab) were included. Inadequate response was indicated by therapy discontinuation, switch, escalation, augmentation, corticosteroid dependency, disease-related hospitalization, or surgery. Health care resource utilization (inpatient, outpatient, sick leaves, medication, aids, and remedies) and related costs were assessed from therapy initiation until discontinuation or loss to follow-up. RESULTS Among 574 patients (median age, 39 years; female sex, 53.5%) who initiated advanced therapies, 458 (79.8%) received an antitumor necrosis factor therapy, 113 (19.7%) vedolizumab, and 3 (0.5%) tofacitinib. After 12 months, 75% had ≥1 indicator for suboptimal therapy. The median time to first indicated inadequate response was 4.8 months. Therapy discontinuation (38%), switching (26%), and prolonged use of steroids (36%) were common within the first year of treatment. In an unadjusted comparison, all-cause total costs per person-year were significantly higher in those who switched vs patients remaining on their therapy (€44,570 vs €36,807; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates a high prevalence of inadequate response to advanced therapies. Only 25% of patients showed adequate response within 12 months after therapy initiation. Frequent dose and treatment changes were observed. The economic impact of suboptimal therapy in ulcerative colitis is substantial, highlighting the ongoing need for improved treatment strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE One of the current hypotheses to explain the proinflammatory immune response in IBD is a dysregulated T cell reaction to yet unknown intestinal antigens. As such, it may be possible to identify disease-associated T cell clonotypes by analysing the peripheral and intestinal T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire of patients with IBD and controls. DESIGN We performed bulk TCR repertoire profiling of both the TCR alpha and beta chains using high-throughput sequencing in peripheral blood samples of a total of 244 patients with IBD and healthy controls as well as from matched blood and intestinal tissue of 59 patients with IBD and disease controls. We further characterised specific T cell clonotypes via single-cell RNAseq. RESULTS We identified a group of clonotypes, characterised by semi-invariant TCR alpha chains, to be significantly enriched in the blood of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and particularly expanded in the CD8+ T cell population. Single-cell RNAseq data showed an innate-like phenotype of these cells, with a comparable gene expression to unconventional T cells such as mucosal associated invariant T and natural killer T (NKT) cells, but with distinct TCRs. CONCLUSIONS We identified and characterised a subpopulation of unconventional Crohn-associated invariant T (CAIT) cells. Multiple evidence suggests these cells to be part of the NKT type II population. The potential implications of this population for CD or a subset thereof remain to be elucidated, and the immunophenotype and antigen reactivity of CAIT cells need further investigations in future studies.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified hundreds of loci associated with Crohn's disease (CD). However, as with all complex diseases, robust identification of the genes dysregulated by noncoding variants typically driving GWAS discoveries has been challenging. Here, to complement GWASs and better define actionable biological targets, we analyzed sequence data from more than 30,000 patients with CD and 80,000 population controls. We directly implicate ten genes in general onset CD for the first time to our knowledge via association to coding variation, four of which lie within established CD GWAS loci. In nine instances, a single coding variant is significantly associated, and in the tenth, ATG4C, we see additionally a significantly increased burden of very rare coding variants in CD cases. In addition to reiterating the central role of innate and adaptive immune cells as well as autophagy in CD pathogenesis, these newly associated genes highlight the emerging role of mesenchymal cells in the development and maintenance of intestinal inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iron-deficiency anemia is common in inflammatory bowel disease, requiring oral or intravenous iron replacement therapy. Treatment with standard oral irons is limited by poor absorption and gastrointestinal toxicity. Ferric maltol is an oral iron designed for improved absorption and tolerability. METHODS In this open-label, phase 3b trial (EudraCT 2015-002496-26 and NCT02680756), adults with nonseverely active inflammatory bowel disease and iron-deficiency anemia (hemoglobin, 8.0-11.0/12.0 g/dL [women/men]; ferritin, <30 ng/mL/<100 ng/mL with transferrin saturation <20%) were randomized to oral ferric maltol 30 mg twice daily or intravenous ferric carboxymaltose given according to each center's standard practice. The primary endpoint was a hemoglobin responder rate (≥2 g/dL increase or normalization) at week 12, with a 20% noninferiority limit in the intent-to-treat and per-protocol populations. RESULTS For the intent-to-treat (ferric maltol, n = 125/ferric carboxymaltose, n = 125) and per-protocol (n = 78/88) analyses, week 12 responder rates were 67% and 68%, respectively, for ferric maltol vs 84% and 85%, respectively, for ferric carboxymaltose. As the confidence intervals crossed the noninferiority margin, the primary endpoint was not met. Mean hemoglobin increases at weeks 12, 24, and 52 were 2.5 vs 3.0 g/dL, 2.9 vs 2.8 g/dL, and 2.7 vs 2.8 g/dL with ferric maltol vs ferric carboxymaltose. Treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 59% and 36% of patients, respectively, and resulted in treatment discontinuation in 10% and 3% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Ferric maltol achieved clinically relevant increases in hemoglobin but did not show noninferiority vs ferric carboxymaltose at week 12. Both treatments had comparable long-term effectiveness for hemoglobin and ferritin over 52 weeks and were well tolerated.

Abstract
PURPOSE The clinical course of ulcerative colitis (UC) is highly heterogeneous, with 20 to 30% of patients experiencing chronic disease activity requiring immunosuppressive or biologic therapies. The aim of this study was to identify predictors for a complicated disease course in an inception cohort of patients with UC. METHODS EPICOL was a prospective, observational, inception cohort (UC diagnosis, ≤ 6 months) study in 311 patients with UC who were naive to immunosuppressants (IS)/biologics. A complicated course of disease was defined as the need for IS and/or biologic treatment (here therapy with a TNF-α antagonist) and/or UC-related hospitalisation. Patients were followed up for 24 months. RESULTS Of the 307 out of 311 participants (4 patients did not meet the inclusion criteria "confirmed diagnosis of active UC within the last 6 months" (n = 2) and "immunosuppressive-naïve" (n = 2), analysis population), 209 (68.1%) versus 98 (31.9%) had an uncomplicated versus a complicated disease course, respectively. In a multivariate regression analysis, prior use of corticosteroids and prior anaemia were associated with a significantly increased risk for a complicated disease course (2.3- and 1.9-fold increase, respectively; p < 0.001 and p = 0.002). Based on these parameters, a risk model for patient stratification was developed. CONCLUSION Our study identifies anaemia and an early need for corticosteroids as predictors for a complicated course of disease in an inception cohort of patients with UC. By determining these parameters in routine clinical practice, our results may support the identification of patients who might benefit from early escalation of therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE We characterized the profile of Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) biologic-naïve patients (starting a new therapy with vedolizumab or TNFα-antagonists), their baseline disease activity predictors, and their perception of the quality of life (HRQoL). METHODS The VEDOIBD-Study is a real-world study on the effectiveness of vedolizumab vs other biologics as induction and maintenance therapy for CD and UC. A total of 627 CD and 546 UC patients were enrolled from IBD-experienced centers across Germany. In both biologic-naïve vedolizumab (n=397) and anti-TNF (n=359) patients, CD and UC disease severity and HRQoL predictors were analyzed with logistic regression. The results were reported as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS When compared to biologic-naïve anti-TNF patients, a first biological therapy with vedolizumab was considered for older CD patients, with a less complicated though longer disease course, and with a history of comorbidities. No differences in (unmet) needs were observed among patients with UC. The presence of extra-intestinal manifestations in biologic-naïve anti-TNF patients with CD (OR (95% CI): 3.83 (1.69-8.68)) and, in both biologic-naïve groups of patients with UC, stool frequency (2.00 (1.25-3.19); 1.82 (1.10-3.02), respectively) and rectal bleeding (2.24 (1.20-4.18); 1.92 (1.19-3.11), respectively) emerged as the most important predictors of disease severity, which in turn were also significantly associated with a worse HRQoL. CONCLUSION This study highlights the existence of unmet medical needs of patients with CD or UC, for whom a new biological therapy is planned as part of the VEDOIBD-Study, which considerably impacts their HRQoL.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are often impaired in their ability to be employed due to IBD symptoms. The aim of this study was to explore work-related problems and support requested by IBD patients and develop rehabilitation programs meeting their needs. METHODS A total of 235 IBD patients (97 rehabilitants, 138 outpatients) completed a questionnaire assessing disease-specific impairments, work-related concerns and the need for support services. Subjective work disability was determined with the SPE scale. RESULTS Participants were on average 46 years old, 60% were women, 45% suffered from Crohn's disease and 67% worked full-time; 72% (n=170) had a negative subjective prognosis of gainful employment. Participants reported an average of 12 disease-specific and 22 work-related problems. About 50% of the participants reported disease-specific problems, namely fatigue (66%), weakness (55%) and urge to pass stool (55%). The three most common work-related problems affecting more than 50% of the respondents almost every day were reduced work ability (56%), worrying about not being fully efficient (55%) and stress at work (53%). Support services requested were counselling for information on the disease (91%), treatment options (88%), social law benefits (85%) and exercises to increase physical fitness (84%). CONCLUSION The wide range of work-related physical and psychosocial impairments affecting IBD patients reveals a need to extend current rehabilitation services, with a stronger occupational focus and to implement a standardized screening for work-related problems. Disease-specific support services can be developed and addressed in a multimodal and interdisciplinary setting such as the rehabilitation sector.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the real-world rates of treatment discontinuation and switching of biologic therapies in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS A retrospective claims data analysis on all continuously insured adult IBD patients with initiation of a biologic therapy was conducted. Observation started with the date of the first prescription of index tumor necrosis factor α-inhibitors (anti-TNFα) or vedolizumab (VDZ) therapy and lasted 12 months. Non-persistence was assumed in case of a switch to another biologic or a treatment gap of >90 days. RESULTS We included 1,248 IBD biologic treatment starters (502 adalimumab, 77 golimumab, 441 infliximab, 228 VDZ); 837/411 were biologic-naïve (bio-naïve)/ biologic-experienced (bio-experienced). Mean age of bio-naïve/bio-experienced anti-TNFα patients was 39.2/38.1 years (54.9%/56.7% female) and 42.6/37.8 years for VDZ patients (56.3%/54.9% female). Seven hundred and seventy-two patients (61.9%) were persistent with their index biologic therapy after 12 months (61.9%/61.8% bio-naïve/bio-experienced). Percentage of persistent patients was 69.7% for VDZ (65.6%/71.3%) and 60.1% for anti-TNFα (61.4%/55.5%). VDZ was associated with later non-persistence in a multivariable Cox regression analysis (hazard ratio 0.675; p = 0.003) compared to anti-TNFα. CONCLUSIONS Only 60-70% of IBD -patients are still persistent with their biologic therapy after 12 months. VDZ therapy is associated with a higher persistence than anti-TNFα therapy in this analysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Use claims data to assess healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and cost for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) who had surgery and patients who did not. METHODS UC patients from a German health insurance were included between 01/01/2010-31/12/2017. Patients with proctocolectomy or colectomy between 01/07/2010 and 31/12/2014 were identified, and surgery date was set as index. For patients with IPAA, the last surgery in the 6 months was taken as index. Non-surgery patients received random index. After propensity score matching, UC-related HCRU and cost were observed for three years post-index. RESULTS Of 21,392 UC patients, 85 underwent surgery and 2655 did not. After matching, 76 were included in the surgery group and 114 in the non-surgery group. Matched cohorts did not differ in baseline characteristics and mortality rates where high in both groups (21.1% and 29.0%, respectively). The percentage of patients with at least one hospitalization in the follow-up period was higher in the surgery (53.9%) compared to the non-surgery group (25.4%, p<0.001). In contrast, the number of outpatient prescriptions of UC-related drugs in the non-surgery group (11.2) was almost twice as large as in the surgery group (5.8, p<0.001). Hospitalization cost was 4.6 times higher in the surgery (1955.5€) than in the non-surgery group (419.6€, p<0.001). Medication cost was three times higher in the non-surgery group (6519€) compared to the surgery group (2151.7€, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Based on hospitalizations, outpatient visits, and medical treatment, results show a considerable patient burden in UC from surgery complications or disease exacerbation in case of colectomy.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus infection is causing chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. By combining direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), high sustained virologic response rates (SVRs) can be achieved. Resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) are commonly observed after DAA failure, and especially nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) RASs may impact retreatment options.1-3 Data on retreatment of DAA failure patients using first-generation DAAs are limited.4-7 Recently, a second-generation protease- and NS5A-inhibitor plus sofosbuvir (voxilaprevir/velpatasvir/sofosbuvir [VOX/VEL/SOF]) was approved for retreatment after DAA failure.8 However, this and other second-generation regimens are not available in many resource-limited countries or are not reimbursed by regular insurance, and recommendations regarding the selection of retreatment regimens using first-generation DAAs are very important. This study aimed to analyze patients who were re-treated with first-generation DAAs after failure of a DAA combination therapy.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Ziel der Studie Betroffene mit chronisch entzündlicher Darmerkrankung (CED) sind durch die spezifische Krankheitssymptomatik sowie psychosoziale Probleme oftmals in ihrer beruflichen Teilhabe und Arbeitsfähigkeit beeinträchtigt. Angezielt wurden eine multiperspektivische Exploration der berufsbezogenen Problemlagen von CED-Betroffenen sowie die Ableitung bedarfsgerechter Unterstützungsangebote für den rehabilitativen Sektor.
Methodik Dazu wurden Längsschnitt-Einzelinterviews mit erwerbstätigen CED-Rehabilitanden zu 2 Messzeitpunkten (N=12), Querschnitt-Einzelinterviews mit erwerbstätigen CED-Patienten in gastroenterologischer Facharztbetreuung (N=7), 4 Fokusgruppeninterviews mit Reha-Mitarbeitern (N=27) und leitfadengestützte Experteninterviews (N=8) durchgeführt. Die Auswertung der Interviewdaten erfolgte in MAXQDA mittels inhaltlich-strukturierender qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse.
Ergebnisse Die Aussagen der 4 unterschiedlichen Untersuchungsgruppen bilden ein ähnliches Gesamtspektrum der erwerbsbezogenen Probleme von CED-Betroffenen ab und weisen auf vielfältige körperliche und psychosoziale Beeinträchtigungen im Arbeitsleben hin. Berichtet werden körperliche wie kognitive Einschränkungen, Müdigkeit, Schmerzen und psychosoziale Barrieren, die oftmals mit einer reduzierten Leistungsfähigkeit am Arbeitsplatz verbunden sind. Hinzu treten Einschränkungen und Belastungen, die aus gesundheitsschädlichen berufsbezogenen Verhaltensweisen resultieren. Unter den erwerbstätigen Betroffenen zeigte sich ein erhöhter Bedarf an berufsbezogenen rehabilitativen Angeboten. Eine intensivere Ausrichtung der Reha-Inhalte auf berufliche Probleme sowie ein erweitertes Schulungs- und Beratungsangebot zur Aneignung bzw. zur Erweiterung persönlicher arbeitsrelevanter Kompetenzen waren für die meisten Betroffenen für eine weitere Teilhabe am Arbeitsleben von zentraler Bedeutung.
Schlussfolgerung Die Studienergebnisse bilden die Bandbreite von Problemen im Arbeitsleben von CED-Betroffenen ab und liefern wichtige Anhaltspunkte für die Entwicklung von bedarfsgerechten Unterstützungsangeboten im rehabilitativen Versorgungssektor. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass die CED-Reha stärker auf die Bedürfnisse von chronisch kranken Erwerbstätigen zugeschnitten werden könnte. Standardmäßige Reha-Inhalte sollten mehr auf den Umgang mit Herausforderungen am Arbeitsplatz ausgerichtet werden. Ein stärkerer Berufsbezug sowie ein standardisiertes Screening auf berufsbezogene Probleme und eine kompetenzfördernde Ausrichtung der CED-Rehabilitation dürften das Spektrum bestehender Angebote erweitern und könnten mittel- bzw. langfristig zur Erhaltung der Erwerbstätigkeit beitragen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS While a minority of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients receives biologics in Germany, little is known about therapeutic needs of patients receiving non-biologic therapies. This study aimed to identify indicators of active disease/steroid dependency in patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) treated with conventional therapies and to describe health care resource use (HCRU)/cost. METHODS CD/UC patients treated with immunosuppressants (IS) and/or systemic or locally acting oral corticosteroids (CS) were identified in German claims data (2013-2017) and followed for 12 months post-therapy start. Indicators of active disease/steroid dependency during follow-up period were (i) ≥ 2 prescriptions of CS (sensitivity ≥ 4) or (ii) ≥ 1 IBD-related surgery or (iii) > 7 days IBD-related hospitalization(s). RESULTS Of 9871 included IBD patients (5170 CD, 4701 UC), 25.7%/19.9% (CD/UC) received ≥ 2 prescriptions of CS (sensitivity, 17.4%/15.7%) (i), 3.2% experienced IBD-related surgeries (ii), and 2.5% > 7 days of hospitalizations (iii). Altogether, 44.4% had indicators of active disease/steroid dependency (sensitivity, 23.9%). Among patients with active disease/steroid dependency, 78.0% received CS monotherapy at baseline. Of these, 89.6% received a CS monotherapy in the follow-up period, too. Proportionally, fewer patients with CS monotherapy (57.4%) than IS therapy (91.0%) visited a specialist. HCRU/cost per patient year was significantly higher in patients with than without active disease/steroid dependency. CONCLUSIONS A substantial percentage of biologic-naïve IBD patients suffers from active disease/steroid dependency. The majority receives a monotherapy with systemic CS. Referral to gastroenterologists for treatment optimization is recommended, also because active disease/steroid dependency is associated with increased HCRU/cost.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of our study was to identify clinical parameters in recently diagnosed Crohn's disease (CD) patients for prediction of their disease course. METHODS EPIC (Early Predictive parameters of Immunosuppressive therapy in Crohn's disease) is a prospective, observational study in 341 patients with a recent CD diagnosis (≤ 6 months), and naïve to immunosuppressants (IS) and anti-tumor necrosis factor α (TNF) agents. Patient characteristics were documented up to 2 years. In line with national and international guidelines, a complicated disease course was defined as need for immunosuppressants and/or anti-TNF agents, and CD-related hospitalization with or without immunosuppressants and/or anti-TNF agents. RESULTS A total of 212 CD patients were analyzed of whom 57 (27%) had an uncomplicated disease within 24 months, while 155 (73%) had a complicated disease course: need for IS and/or anti-TNF agents (N = 115), CD-related hospitalization with or without IS/anti-TNF agents (N = 40). Identified risk predictors for a complicated disease were as follows: age at onset < 40 years (OR 2.3; 95% CI 1.2-4.5), anemia (OR 2.1; 95% CI 1.1-4.2), and treatment with systemic corticosteroids at first flare (OR 2.2; 95% CI 1.1-4.7). These three parameters were used to develop a risk model allowing prediction of the future disease course. CONCLUSION Our three-parameter model enables an assessment of each CD patient's risk to develop a complicated disease course. Due to the easy accessibility of these parameters, this model can be utilized in daily clinical care to assist selecting the initial treatment for each individual patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to describe biologic treatment of German inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, including biologics' dosage, health care resource use, and treatment-associated cost. METHODS In this retrospective claims data analysis, all continuously insured adult IBD patients (Crohn's disease [CD] or ulcerative colitis [UC]) who started a new therapy with an anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNF-α) or vedolizumab (VDZ) were included. Observation started with the date of the first prescription of index biologic therapy and lasted 12 months. RESULTS In the database, 1248 out of 57 296 IBD patients started a biologic treatment of interest (1020 anti-TNF-α, 228 VDZ), and 837 patients were bio-naïve (773 anti-TNF-α, 64 VDZ). The mean age of bio-naïve/bio-experienced anti-TNF-α patients was 39.2/38.1 years (54.9 %/56.7 % female) and 42.6/37.8 years for VDZ patients (56.3 %/54.9 % female). The proportion of patients receiving a maintenance dosage > 150 % compared to SmPC was 15.1 % for Adalimumab, 5.2-39.0 % for Golimumab, 14.7-34.5 % for Infliximab, and 19.7 % for VDZ patients. During the maintenance phase, up to 58.8 % of patients received at least 1 prescription of any CS, and 41.7 %/47.1 % (anti-TNF-α/VDZ) were treated in a hospital due to IBD. The mean IBD-related direct health care cost per patient year was € 30 246 (anti-TNF-α)/ € 28 227 (VDZ) for bio-naïve patients (p = 0.288) and € 34 136 (anti-TNF-α)/ € 32 112 (VDZ) for bio-experienced patients (p = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS A substantial percentage of patients receive a high biologic dosage in the maintenance phase. Despite biologic therapy, 30-40 % receive a CS therapy and/or experience at least 1 IBD-associated hospitalization within a year, possibly indicating a remaining disease activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sustaining clinical remission is an important treatment goal in moderate-to-severe UC. This post hoc exploratory analysis assessed the long-term efficacy of vedolizumab in the subset of patients with UC in the GEMINI 1 study who were in clinical remission by week 14 after 3 induction doses, administered at weeks 0, 2, and 6. METHODS Sustained clinical remission (primary endpoint) was evaluated using 2 definitions: (1) a partial Mayo Score (pMS) of ≤2 with no subscore >1 and (2) a rectal bleeding subscore (RBS) of 0 throughout weeks 14, 26, 38, and 52. RESULTS The proportion of patients in clinical remission at week 14 was significantly higher in patients receiving vedolizumab (n = 620) compared with placebo (n = 149) (pMS: 32.7% vs 20.1% [percentage-point difference (∆) 12.6%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.2-20.0]; RBS: 47.3% vs 28.9% [∆18.4%; 95% CI, 10.1-26.7]). Of patients in clinical remission at week 14, a significantly higher proportion of vedolizumab-treated patients achieved sustained clinical remission compared with placebo (pMS: 66.5% vs 26.7%; ∆39.8%; 95% CI, 22.7-56.9; RBS: 56.7% vs 20.9%; ∆35.7%; 95% CI, 22.3-49.1). Findings were consistent in tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist-naive and antagonist-failure patients. CONCLUSION Compared with placebo, 35%-40% more patients receiving a full induction course of vedolizumab had sustained clinical remission after 52 weeks of therapy. This result was observed irrespective of TNF antagonist treatment history. Clinical remission at week 14 may therefore be a predictor for sustained clinical remission with vedolizumab.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS This study examined differences in personality, psychological distress, and stress coping in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) depending on type of disease and disease activity. We compared patients suffering from Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) with controls. While the literature is replete with distinctive features of the pathogenesis of IBD, the specific differences in psychological impairments are not well studied. METHODS In this German national multicenter study, participants were recruited from 32 centers. Two hundred ninety-seven questionnaires were included, delivering vast information on disease status and psychological well-being based on validated instruments with a total of 285 variables. RESULTS CD patients were more affected by psychological impairments than patients suffering from UC or controls. Importantly, patients with active CD scored higher in neuroticism (p < 0.01), psychological distress (p < 0.001) and maladaptive stress coping (escape, p = 0.03; rumination, p < 0.03), but less need for social support (p = 0.001) than controls. In contrast, patients suffering from active UC showed psychological distress (p < 0.04) and maladaptive coping (avoidance, p < 0.03; escape, p = 0.01). Patients in remission seemed to be less affected. In particular, patients with UC in remission were not inflicted by psychological impairments. The group of CD patients in remission however, showed insecurity (p < 0.01) and paranoid ideation (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS We identified specific aspects of psychological impairment in IBD depending on disease and disease activity. Our results underscore the need for psychological support and treatment particularly in active CD.

Abstract
The present review by the IBD-Dach group provides a comprehensive summary of the mode of action, clinical development, approval, efficacy and safety aspects of the novel anti-p40 antibody Ustekinumab. The review provides current data, including the large clinical trials as well as smaller case series and work outside the field of inflammatory bowel diseases for shedding more light into special situations. Together, the data indicate that Ustekinumab shows clinical efficacy as well as a good safety profile for the treatment of Crohn's disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Assessment of disease activity in Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) is usually based on the physician's evaluation of clinical symptoms, endoscopic findings, and biomarker analysis. The German Inflammatory Bowel Disease Activity Index for CD (GIBDICD) and UC (GIBDIUC) uses data from patient-reported questionnaires. It is unclear to what extent the GIBDI agrees with the physicians' documented activity indices. METHODS Data from 2 studies were reanalyzed. In both, gastroenterologists had documented disease activity in UC with the partial Mayo Score (pMS) and in CD with the Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI). Patient-completed GIBDI questionnaires had also been assessed. The analysis sample consisted of 151 UC and 150 CD patients. Kappa coefficients were determined as agreement measurements. RESULTS Rank correlations were 0.56 (pMS, GIBDIUC) and 0.57 (HBI, GIBDICD), with p < 0.001. The absolute agreement for 2 categories of disease activity (remission yes/no) was 74.2 % (UC) and 76.6 % (CD), and for 4 categories (none/mild/moderate/severe) 60.3 % (UC) and 61.9 % (CD). The kappa values ranged between 0.47 for UC (2 categories) and 0.58 for CD (4 categories). DISCUSSION There is satisfactory agreement of GIBDI with the physician-documented disease activity indices. GIBDI can be used in health care research without access to assessments of medical practitioners. In clinical practice, the index offers a supplementary source of information.

Abstract
As part of a broader collaborative network of exome sequencing studies, we developed a jointly called data set of 5,685 Ashkenazi Jewish exomes. We make publicly available a resource of site and allele frequencies, which should serve as a reference for medical genetics in the Ashkenazim (hosted in part at https://ibd.broadinstitute.org, also available in gnomAD at http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). We estimate that 34% of protein-coding alleles present in the Ashkenazi Jewish population at frequencies greater than 0.2% are significantly more frequent (mean 15-fold) than their maximum frequency observed in other reference populations. Arising via a well-described founder effect approximately 30 generations ago, this catalog of enriched alleles can contribute to differences in genetic risk and overall prevalence of diseases between populations. As validation we document 148 AJ enriched protein-altering alleles that overlap with "pathogenic" ClinVar alleles (table available at https://github.com/macarthur-lab/clinvar/blob/master/output/clinvar.tsv), including those that account for 10-100 fold differences in prevalence between AJ and non-AJ populations of some rare diseases, especially recessive conditions, including Gaucher disease (GBA, p.Asn409Ser, 8-fold enrichment); Canavan disease (ASPA, p.Glu285Ala, 12-fold enrichment); and Tay-Sachs disease (HEXA, c.1421+1G>C, 27-fold enrichment; p.Tyr427IlefsTer5, 12-fold enrichment). We next sought to use this catalog, of well-established relevance to Mendelian disease, to explore Crohn's disease, a common disease with an estimated two to four-fold excess prevalence in AJ. We specifically attempt to evaluate whether strong acting rare alleles, particularly protein-truncating or otherwise large effect-size alleles, enriched by the same founder-effect, contribute excess genetic risk to Crohn's disease in AJ, and find that ten rare genetic risk factors in NOD2 and LRRK2 are enriched in AJ (p < 0.005), including several novel contributing alleles, show evidence of association to CD. Independently, we find that genomewide common variant risk defined by GWAS shows a strong difference between AJ and non-AJ European control population samples (0.97 s.d. higher, p<10-16). Taken together, the results suggest coordinated selection in AJ population for higher CD risk alleles in general. The results and approach illustrate the value of exome sequencing data in case-control studies along with reference data sets like ExAC (sites VCF available via FTP at ftp.broadinstitute.org/pub/ExAC_release/release0.3/) to pinpoint genetic variation that contributes to variable disease predisposition across populations.

Abstract
Background/aims Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) need comprehensive, interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral health care. In Germany, evidence-based care pathways have been developed to improve the quality of care of IBD patients. We aimed to evaluate the effects of the implementation of some of these recommendations on patient-related outcomes. Methods In a region of North Germany, outpatients with IBD were recruited by gastroenterologists (intervention group). Three activities based on the recommendations of the IBD pathways were implemented, namely, 1) patient participation in a questionnaire-based assessment of 22 somatic and psychosocial problems combined with individualized care recommendations (patient activation procedure); 2) patient invitation to participate in a 2-day patient education program and 3) invitation to their gastroenterologists to participate in periodic interdisciplinary case conferences. For the control group, IBD patients receiving standard care at gastroenterology practices outside the specified region were recruited by their doctors. At baseline, 6- and 12-month follow-up, study patients were invited to complete questionnaires. Generic health-related quality of life, social participation and self-management skills were the main outcomes. Results At baseline, 349 patients were included in the study (intervention group: 189; control group: 160); 142 patients from the former and 140 from the latter group returned completed questionnaires at the 12-month follow-up. Over time, improvement in health-related quality of life and social participation was similar in both groups. Participants of the intervention group demonstrated improved self-management skills and more often followed steroid-free medication regimens. Conclusion In a real-world clinical context, patient activation procedure combined with patient education and case conferences was less effective than expected. The observed beneficial effects, however, encourage the evaluation of more intensive and addressee-centered activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Recent observational studies document that non-adherence to mesalamine therapy during remission is frequent. We aimed to investigate patient impact of patient education using objective assessments of adherence. METHODS A 14-month randomised, prospective clinical trial of adherence to mesalamine was conducted in 248 patients with ulcerative colitis [UC], Colitis Activity Index [CAI] ≤ 9, receiving standard care [n = 122] versus a standardised patient education programme [n = 126]. Primary endpoint was adherence at all visits (5-aminosalicylic acid [5-ASA] urine levels). Secondary endpoints included quality of life (inflammatory bowel disease questionnaise [IBDQ]), disease activity, partial adherence, and self-assessment of adherence. RESULTS Patient allocation was well balanced. Baseline non-adherence was high in quiescent/mildly active UC [52.4%] without difference between the groups (52.4% of patients in the education group versus 52.5% in the standard care group [p = 0.99]). No difference between the intervention group and standard care was seen in IBDQ, partial adherence, self-assessment of adherence, or therapy satisfaction at all visits. We suggest a model in which individual risks for non-adherence are driven by patients with young age, short disease duration, and low education levels. CONCLUSIONS Non-adherence is frequent in a population with quiescent/mildly active UC. Although more than 25% of the population was not in remission at the various time points, no relationship between disease activity and adherence was seen over the 14-month observation period. Physicians should maximise their efforts to motivate high-risk patients for adherence. Future trials should use objective exposure assessments to examine the impact of continuous education and consultations on the background of individual risks to develop non-adherence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Oral ferric maltol improves and normalizes hemoglobin (Hb) in patients with IBD. AIM This open-label, randomized Phase 1 study evaluated the pharmacokinetics of ferric maltol and its effect on iron indices in IBD patients with iron deficiency (with or without anemia). METHODS Iron deficient adult IBD patients received ferric maltol 30, 60, or 90 mg twice daily during an 8-day period. Pharmacokinetics and iron uptake were assessed on days 1 and 8. RESULTS Twenty-four patients were included: 13 with Crohn's disease and 11 with ulcerative colitis (mean age 39 years; 67 % female, mean Hb 13.0 g/dL; mean reticulocyte Hb content (CHr) 31.9 pg; mean ferritin 13.9 µg/L). Plasma maltol and maltol glucuronide increased rapidly at all doses, reaching maximum plasma concentration (C max) 1.0-1.5 h post-dose and declining to baseline after 3-6 h. Maltol and maltol glucuronide exposure (area under the concentration-time curve; AUC) appeared dose proportional with twice-daily dosing, with higher exposure to maltol glucuronide vs. maltol. Mean day 8/day 1 ratios for C max and AUC0-t indicated no accumulation after 7 days of twice-daily dosing. Serum iron and transferrin saturation (TSAT) increased with all doses (maximum values at 1.5-3.0 h post-dose). Serum ferritin and CHr increased by day 8, with greater improvements with 60 and 90 mg twice-daily doses than with 30 mg twice-daily doses. CONCLUSIONS The key constituents of ferric maltol showed predictable pharmacokinetics, with no accumulation over 7 days and increased iron uptake and storage over time at 30-90 mg twice-daily doses.

Abstract
Background Azathioprine is recommended as first-line immunosuppressant in patients with steroid-dependent inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). However, data on steroid withdrawal after induction therapy in IBD patients are sparse. Methods In this post-hoc analysis of a prospective multicenter study, we analyzed the proportion and clinical characteristics of 324 azathioprine-tolerant patients as to whether they could terminate the glucocorticoid therapy after initiation of treatment with azathioprine. Results Systemic steroid therapy was required in 190 patients (58.6 %) at baseline and in 40 patients (12.3 %) at the end of the follow-up period (p < 0.001). The median daily dose was 30 mg at baseline and 10 mg at follow-up. At baseline, only 122 patients (37.2 %) were advised to take at least the lowest recommended dose of 2 mg/kg per day. At follow-up, 221 patients (68.2 %) were prescribed at least the recommended maintenance dosage. Conclusion The majority of patients with thiopurine-naïve IBDs that needed systemic steroids at baseline were able to discontinue steroids after 3 - 6 months of azathioprine therapy. These data support the continued high value of azathioprine in the immunosuppressive therapy of IBD.

Abstract
The Inflammatory Bowel Disease Competence Network is a network of more than 500 physicians and scientists from university clinics, hospitals and gastroenterology practices. The focus extends from the two major forms of inflammatory bowel diseases, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, into other chronic inflammatory conditions affecting the intestine, including coeliac disease and microscopic colitis. The network translates basic science discoveries (in particular in the molecular epidemiology research) into innovative diagnostics and therapy. Through its strong networking structures it supports a continuous process to improve quality and standardisation in patient care that is implemented in close interaction with European networks addressing this disease group.Optimisation of patient care based on scientifically proven evidence is a main focus of the network. Therefore, it supports and coordinates translational research and infrastructure projects that investigate aetiology, improvement of diagnostic methods, and development of new or improved use of established therapies. Members participate in various training projects, thus ensuring the rapid transfer of research results into clinical practice.The competence network cooperates with the main patient organisations to engage patients in all levels of activities. The network and the patient organisations have interest in promoting public awareness about the disease entities, because their importance and burden is underestimated in non-specialised medical fields and among the general public.
