Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS It is a challenge to manage patients with ulcerative proctitis (UP) refractory to standard therapy. We investigated the effectiveness of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists in a large cohort of patients with refractory UP. METHODS We conducted a nationwide retrospective cohort study of 104 consecutive patients with active UP refractory to conventional therapies, treated at 1 of 15 centers in France or 1 center in Belgium (the GETAID cohort). Patients received at least 1 injection of anti-TNF (infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab) from October 2006 through February 2017. Clinical response was defined as significant improvement in UC-related symptoms, and remission as complete disappearance of UC-related symptoms, each determined by treating physicians. We collected demographic, clinical, and treatment data. The median duration of follow-up was 24 months (interquartile range, 13-51 months). The primary outcome was clinical response of UP to anti-TNF treatment. RESULTS Overall, 80 patients (77%) had a clinical response to anti-TNF therapy and 52 patients (50%) achieved clinical remission. Extra-intestinal manifestations (odds ratio OR, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.08-0.7), ongoing treatment with topical steroids (OR, 0.14; 95% CI, 0.03-0.73), and ongoing treatment with topical 5-aminosalycilates (OR, 0.21; 95% CI, 0.07-0.62) were significantly associated with the absence of clinical remission. Sixty percent (38/63) of the patients who had endoscopic assessment during follow up had mucosal healing. Among the overall population (n = 104), the cumulative probabilities of sustained clinical remission were 87.6% ± 3.4% at 1 year and 74.7% ± 4.8% at 2 years. CONCLUSIONS In a retrospective study of 104 patients with refractory UP, anti-TNF therapy induced clinical remission in 50% and mucosal healing in 60%. About two thirds of the patients were still receiving anti-TNF therapy at 2 years.

Efficacy and Limitations of Budesonide as a Second-Line Treatment for Patients With Autoimmune Hepatitis. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2018; 16:260-267.e1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Many patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) develop steroid-specific side effects or require doses of steroids that are unacceptable for long-term treatment. We investigated the efficacy of budesonide as an alternative steroid for patients previously treated with prednisolone who developed side effects or were unable to reduce their dose of prednisolone below acceptable levels. We also report the effects of more than 12 months of budesonide treatment in a large cohort of patients with AIH. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of data from 60 patients (51 female) with AIH who were treated initially with prednisolone (mean time, 47 mo) but then switched to budesonide, managed at a single center in Germany from 2001 through June 2016. Patients were evaluated after 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, and at the last follow-up evaluation; response to treatment with budesonide was assessed based on normal serum levels of aminotransferases and IgG (biochemical response). RESULTS Thirty patients were switched to budesonide therapy because of prednisolone-induced side effects and 30 patients switched because of prednisolone dependency. Overall, a biochemical response was detected in 55% of patients after 6 months of budesonide treatment, in 70% after 12 months, and in 67% after 24 months. At the last follow-up evaluation (mean time, 63 mo) 23 patients (38%) still were receiving budesonide treatment. Fifteen patients (25%) had switched back to prednisolone therapy because of insufficient response to budesonide or its side effects. Fifteen patients with osteopenia at the beginning of budesonide treatment were followed up and evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. After a median of 24 months of budesonide treatment, bone mineral density had improved in 6 patients, remained stable in 8 patients, and worsened in 1 patient. CONCLUSIONS We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with AIH that confirmed the therapeutic value of budesonide beyond 12 months of treatment in patients who are intolerant to or dependent on prednisolone. Although budesonide-induced side effects appear to be mild in real life, effectiveness was limited in a considerable proportion of patients; close monitoring is advised.
