Predicted efficacy of a pharmacogenetic passport for inflammatory bowel disease.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:High inter-individual variability in therapeutic response to drugs used in the management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) leads to high morbidity and high costs. Genetic variants predictive of thiopurine-induced myelosuppression, thiopurine-induced pancreatitis and immunogenicity of Tumour Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF?) antagonists have been identified, but uptake of pre-treatment pharmacogenetic testing into clinical guidelines has been slow. AIM:To explore the efficacy of a pharmacogenetic passport for IBD that includes multiple pharmacogenetic predictors of response. METHODS:Patients with IBD exposed to thiopurines and/or TNF? antagonists were retrospectively evaluated for the presence of thiopurine toxicity and/or immunogenicity of TNF? antagonists. All patients were genotyped using both whole-exome sequencing and the Illumina Global Screening Array. An in-house-developed computational pipeline translated genetic data into an IBD pharmacogenetic passport that predicted risks for thiopurine toxicity and immunogenicity of TNF? antagonists per patient. Using pharmacogenetic-guided treatment guidelines, we calculated clinical efficacy estimates for pharmacogenetic testing for IBD. RESULTS:Among 710 patients with IBD exposed to thiopurines and/or TNF? antagonists, 150 adverse drug responses occurred and our pharmacogenetic passport would have predicted 54 (36%) of these. Using a pharmacogenetic passport for IBD that includes genetic variants predictive of thiopurine-induced myelosuppression, thiopurine-induced pancreatitis, and immunogenicity of TNF? antagonists, 24 patients need to be genotyped to prevent one of these adverse drug responses. CONCLUSIONS:This study highlights the clinical efficacy of a pharmacogenetic passport for IBD. Implementation of such a pharmacogenetic passport into clinical management of IBD may contribute to a reduction in adverse drug responses.

Project description:BackgroundMillions of individuals globally suffer from Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). There is a dearth of large population-based investigations on lipid metabolism and IBDs, and it is unclear whether lipid-lowering drugs target IBDs causally. Consequently, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of lipid-lowering medication targets on the occurrence and progression of IBDs.MethodsAmong the more than 400,000 participants in the UK Biobank cohort and the more than 170,000 participants in the Global Lipids Genetics Consortium, a total of nine genes linked to lipid-lowering drug targets were obtained (ABCG5/ABCG8, APOB, APOC3, LDLR, LPL, HMGCR, NPC1L1, PCSK9, and PPARA). IBD data were acquired from de Lange et al. (patients/sample size of IBDs: 25042/59957; ulcerative colitis (UC): 12366/45,975; Crohn's disease (CD): 12194/40,266) and the FinnGen cohort (patients/total sample size of IBDs: 4420/176,899; CD: 1520/171,906; UC: 3325/173,711). All four datasets were cross-combined for validation via Mendelian randomization analysis, and potential mediating factors were explored via mediation analysis.ResultsGenetically proxied APOC3 inhibition was related to increased IBD risk (odds ratio (95% confidence interval): 0.87 (0.80-0.95); P < 0.01) and UC risk (0.83 (0.73-0.94); P < 0.01). IBD and CD risk were reduced by genetic mimicry of LDLR and LPL enhancements, respectively (odds ratioLDLR: 1.18 (1.03-1.36); P = 0.018; odds ratioCD: 1.26 (1.11-1.43); P = 2.60E-04). Genetically proxied HMGCR inhibition was associated with increased CD risk (0.68 (0.50-0.94); P = 0.018). These findings were confirmed through Mendelian analysis of the cross-combination of four separate datasets. APOC3-mediated triglyceride levels may contribute to IBDs partly through mediated triglycerides, Clostridium sensu stricto 1, Clostridiaceae 1, or the Lachnospiraceae FCS020 group. LDLR enhancement may contribute to IBDs partly through increasing Lactobacillaceae.ConclusionVigilance is required to prevent adverse effects on IBDs (UC) for patients receiving volanesorsen (an antisense oligonucleotide targeting ApoC3 mRNA) and adverse effects on CD for statin users. LPL and LDLR show promise as candidate drug targets for CD and IBD, respectively, with mechanisms that are potentially independent of their lipid-lowering effects.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Recent studies have shown that oral combination antibiotics may improve disease course in refractory inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Here, we describe the use of combination oral antibiotics as salvage therapy in refractory ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's colitis, and IBD-unclassified (IBD-U) at a large pediatric IBD center. METHODS:Clinical response, disease activity indices, adverse events, and clinical outcomes were measured up to 1 year after antibiotic treatment in this retrospective cohort study of children with medically refractory IBD colitis. RESULTS:Sixty-three patients with refractory UC, Crohn's colitis, and IBD-U (median age [interquartile range {IQR}], 15.3 [11.2-16.5] years; median disease duration [IQR], 1.2 [0.41-4.6] years) received a combination of 3 or 4 oral antibiotics (most commonly amoxicillin, metronidazole, and either doxycycline or ciprofloxacin) for a median (IQR) of 29 (21-58) days. Thirty-four patients (54%) were deemed corticosteroid-refractory or -dependent, with the majority (62/63) having a previous or present loss of response or primary nonresponse to anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNF?) therapy. Use of combination antibiotics led to a significant decrease in median Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI) score (IQR) from 55 (40-65) to 10 (0-40; P < 0.0001) over 3 ± 1 weeks, with 25/63 (39.7%) patients achieving clinical remission (PUCAI <10 points). The clinical benefits of oral antibiotics were independent of anti-TNF? therapy optimization. Among children entering clinical remission (n = 25), only 1 patient required surgery at 1-year follow-up, vs 10 patients in the nonresponder group. Negative predictors of response to combination antibiotics were exposure to doxycycline (odds ratio [OR], 0.25; 95% CI, 0.08-0.76) and PUCAI ?65 at baseline (OR, 0.2; 95% CI, 0.05-0.74). CONCLUSIONS:Oral combination antibiotics appears to be an effective rescue and steroid-sparing therapy to induce remission in the short term in patients failing a biologic.
