Biomarkers are associated with clinical and endoscopic outcomes with vedolizumab treatment in Crohn's disease.

ABSTRACT: Background:Vedolizumab, an ?4?7 integrin antagonist, is an effective therapy for Crohn's disease (CD). Biomarkers are needed to guide therapy and predict outcomes. This study evaluated biomarker concentrations and outcomes in patients with CD undergoing vedolizumab treatment. Methods:Sera at weeks 0, 2, 6, 14, and ?26 were collected from vedolizumab-treated, refractory CD patients. Concentrations of soluble (s)-Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule (VCAM)-1, s-Intercellular Cell Adhesion Molecule (ICAM)-1, s-Mucosal Addressin Cell Adhesion Molecule (MAdCAM)-1, and s-?4?7 integrin were evaluated for associations with achieving endoscopic remission. Results:A total of 22 patients with CD were included. In all patients, s-MAdCAM-1 decreased significantly and s-?4?7 increased compared with baseline. s-VCAM-1 and s-ICAM-1 changed differentially in patients who achieved remission. At week 6, median s-VCAM-1 (859.6?ng/ml versus 460.3?ng/ml, p?=?0.03) and s-ICAM-1 (545.7?ng/ml versus 286.2?ng/ml, p?=?0.03) concentrations were higher in patients who achieved endoscopic remission compared with those who did not, and similar differences were observed for s-ICAM-1 concentrations in patients who achieved clinical remission, compared with those who did not (669.1?ng/ml versus 291.0?ng/ml, p?=?0.04). Week 14 s-?4?7 concentrations were lower in patients who achieved endoscopic remission, compared with those who did not (7.5?ng/ml versus 17.6?ng/ml, p?=?0.020). Conclusion:In all vedolizumab-treated CD patients, s-MAdCAM-1 decreased significantly and s-?4?7 increased. However, higher concentrations of s-ICAM-1 and s-VCAM-1 at week 6 and lower concentrations of s-?4?7 at week 14 differentiated patients who achieved endoscopic remission. These findings may help identify early predictors of response to vedolizumab treatment in patients with CD. Further validation in less refractory CD patients is needed.

Project description:Background:Vedolizumab inhibits ?4?7-mediated lymphocyte trafficking and is effective in ulcerative colitis (UC). This study evaluated drug and biomarker concentrations and patient outcomes during vedolizumab treatment in UC. Methods:Prospectively scored maintenance clinical (26.5 weeks; interquartile range [IQR], 16.3-37.0 weeks) and endoscopic (23.5 weeks; IQR, 16.8-35.6 weeks) outcomes were compared with serum vedolizumab concentrations, antivedolizumab antibodies, and serum biomarkers at baseline and weeks 2, 6, 14, and 26. A linear mixed-effects model compared biomarker trajectories over time between clinical and endoscopic remitters and nonremitters. Results:Thirty-two patients were included. Soluble (s)-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-?, s-?4?7, s-mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule (s-MAdCAM-1), and s-amyloid A (s-AA) significantly changed with treatment. A linear mixed-effects model demonstrated that s-?4?7 (P = 0.044) increased and s-MAdCAM-1 (P = 0.006) and s-vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (s-VCAM-1, P = 0.001) decreased more rapidly in patients achieving clinical remission in maintenance. S-MAdCAM-1 (P = 0.005), s-intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1; P = 0.014), s-VCAM-1 (P < 0.001), and s-TNF (P = 0.052) decreased more rapidly in endoscopic remitters. In clinical remitters, higher week 14 (20.3 ng/mL vs 6.0 ng/mL; P = 0.013) and week 26 (14.1 ng/mL vs 8.6 ng/mL; P = 0.05) s-?4?7 were observed. In endoscopic remitters, week 2 (6.7 pg/mL vs 17.8 pg/mL; P = 0.038) and week 6 (3.9 pg/mL vs 15.6 pg/mL; P = 0.005) s-TNF and week 14 s-VCAM (589.1 ng/mL vs 746.0 ng/mL; P = 0.05) were lower. Conclusion:Serum biomarkers were associated with outcomes in vedolizumab-treated UC patients. s-?4?7 increased, whereas s-MAdCAM-1, s-VCAM-1, s-ICAM-1, and s-TNF decreased more rapidly in remitters. At individual time points, induction s-TNF and maintenance s-VCAM-1 concentrations were lower, whereas maintenance s-?4?7 concentrations were higher in remitters.

Project description:Background & aimsDeep remission, based on clinical remission and evidence of healing during endoscopic evaluation, are goals of medical treatments for Crohn's disease (CD). We investigated whether histologic healing is associated with outcomes of patients with CD ileitis.MethodsWe performed a retrospective study of 101 patients with CD (52% male) isolated to the terminal ileum who had a colonoscopy between September 2005 and June 2015. Our analysis included patients in clinical remission at colonoscopy who had biopsies collected from colon and ileum. The ileum was evaluated for endoscopic healing (no ulceration) and histologic evidence of healing (no active inflammation, erosions, ulceration, or neutrophil infiltration). We compared times of clinical relapse-free survival, medication escalation, corticosteroid use, or hospitalization secondary to disease activity between patients with and without histological and endoscopic healing, followed for a median 21 months. We identified factors associated with survival using Kaplan Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard model.ResultsAt ileo-colonoscopy, 63% of patients had endoscopic healing and 55% had histologic evidence of healing. The level of agreement between endoscopic and histologic activity was fair (62%, K = 0.2250, P = .0064). Forty-two patients had clinical relapse, 45 had medication escalation, 30 required corticosteroids, and 17 were hospitalized (3 required surgery). On multivariate analysis, only histologic healing was associated with decreased risk of clinical relapse (hazard ratio [HR], 2.05; 95% CI, 1.07-3.94; P = .031), medication escalation (HR, 2.17; 95% CI, 1.2-3.96; P = .011), and corticosteroid use (HR, 2.44; 95% CI, 1.17-5.09; P = .018). No factors were associated with hospitalization.ConclusionsIn patients with ileal CD in clinical remission, histologic healing but not endoscopic healing is associated with decreased risk of clinical relapse, medication escalation, or corticosteroid use.

Project description:Background & aimsAs more treatment options for inflammatory bowel diseases become available, it is important to identify patients most likely to respond to different therapies. We created and validated a scoring system to identify patients with Crohn's disease (CD) who respond to vedolizumab.MethodsWe collected data from the GEMINI 2 phase 3 trial of patients with active CD treated with vedolizumab for 26 weeks (n = 814) and performed logistic regression analysis to identify factors associated with clinical, steroid-free, and durable remission (derivation set). We used these data to develop a clinical decision support tool, which we validated using data from 366 participants in a separate clinical practice observational cohort of patients with active CD treated with vedolizumab for 26 weeks (the VICTORY cohort). We evaluated the ability of this tool to identify patients in clinical remission or corticosteroid-free remission, or those with mucosal healing (MH), clinical remission with MH, or corticosteroid-free remission with MH after vedolizumab therapy using receiver operating characteristic area under the curve (AUC) analyses. The primary outcome was to develop and validate a list of factors associated with achieving remission by vedolizumab in patients with active CD.ResultsIn the derivation analysis, we identified absence of previous treatment with a tumor necrosis factor antagonist (+3 points), absence of prior bowel surgery (+2 points), absence of prior fistulizing disease (+2 points), baseline level of albumin (+0.4 points per g/L), and baseline concentration of C-reactive protein (reduction of 0.5 points for values between 3.0 and 10.0 mg/L and 3.0 points for values >10.0 mg/L) as factors associated with remission. In the validation set, our model identified patients in clinical remission with an AUC of 0.67, patients in corticosteroid-free remission with an AUC of 0.66, patients with MH with an AUC of 0.72, patients in clinical remission with MH with an AUC of 0.73, and patients in corticosteroid-free clinical remission with MH with an AUC of 0.75. A cutoff value of 13 points identified patients in clinical remission after vedolizumab therapy with 92% sensitivity, patients in corticosteroid-free remission with 94% sensitivity, patients with MH with 98% sensitivity, patients with clinical remission and MH with 100% sensitivity, and patients with corticosteroid-free clinical remission with MH with 100% sensitivity.ConclusionsWe developed and validated a scoring system to identify patients with CD most likely to respond to 26 weeks of vedolizumab therapy. Further studies are needed to optimize its accuracy in select populations and determine its cost-effectiveness.
