Severe de novo Ulcerative Colitis following Ixekizumab Therapy.

ABSTRACT: Ixekizumab is a selective monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-17A, approved for the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis. It has rarely been associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in randomized trials only. We report a unique case of severe new-onset ulcerative colitis in a young male complicated by cytomegalovirus infection who was on ixekizumab therapy for plaque psoriasis. We recommend that clinicians should exercise caution before prescribing ixekizumab as it seems to induce and exacerbate IBD.

Case report: Immunological characteristics of <i>de novo</i> ulcerative colitis in a child post COVID-19.

Project description:The pathological mechanisms of de novo inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) following SARS-CoV-2 infection are unknown. However, cases of coexisting IBD and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), which occurs 2-6 weeks after SARS-CoV-2 infection, have been reported, suggesting a shared underlying dysfunction of immune responses. Herein, we conducted the immunological analyses of a Japanese patient with de novo ulcerative colitis following SARS-CoV-2 infection based on the pathological hypothesis of MIS-C. Her serum level of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, a microbial translocation marker, was elevated with T cell activation and skewed T cell receptor repertoire. The dynamics of activated CD8+ T cells, including T cells expressing the gut-homing marker α4β7, and serum anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG antibody titer reflected her clinical symptoms. These findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection may trigger the de novo occurrence of ulcerative colitis by impairing intestinal barrier function, T cell activation with a skewed T cell receptor repertoire, and increasing levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG antibodies. Further research is needed to clarify the association between the functional role of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein as a superantigen and ulcerative colitis.

Biological therapy for ulcerative colitis.

Project description:Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a major form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) worldwide. Better understanding of the pathogenesis of UC has led to the development of novel therapeutic agents that target specific mediators of the inflammatory cascade. A number of biological agents have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of UC and several more are currently in various phases of drug development. The commonly used agents include TNFα antagonists (e.g. infliximab, adalimumab, and golimumab) and anti-integrin agents (vedolizumab). These biological agents have profoundly influenced the management of UC patients, especially those with refractory disease. This paper reviews the currently available knowledge and evidence for the use of various biological agents in the treatment of UC.

Systematic Review and Meta-analysis: Optimal Salvage Therapy in Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis.

Project description:BackgroundInfliximab is an effective salvage therapy in acute severe ulcerative colitis; however, the optimal dosing strategy is unknown. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the impact of infliximab dosage and intensification on colectomy-free survival in acute severe ulcerative colitis.MethodsStudies reporting outcomes of hospitalized steroid-refractory acute severe ulcerative colitis treated with infliximab salvage were identified. Infliximab use was categorized by dose, dose number, and schedule. The primary outcome was colectomy-free survival at 3 months. Pooled proportions and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were reported.ResultsForty-one cohorts (n = 2158 cases) were included. Overall colectomy-free survival with infliximab salvage was 79.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 75.48% to 83.6%) at 3 months and 69.8% (95% CI, 65.7% to 73.7%) at 12 months. Colectomy-free survival at 3 months was superior with 5-mg/kg multiple (≥2) doses compared with single-dose induction (odds ratio [OR], 4.24; 95% CI, 2.44 to 7.36; P < 0.001). However, dose intensification with either high-dose or accelerated strategies was not significantly different to 5-mg/kg standard induction at 3 months (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.39 to 1.27; P = 0.24) despite being utilized in patients with a significantly higher mean C-reactive protein and lower albumin levels.ConclusionsIn acute severe ulcerative colitis, multiple 5-mg/kg infliximab doses are superior to single-dose salvage. Dose-intensified induction outcomes were not significantly different compared to standard induction and were more often used in patients with increased disease severity, which may have confounded the results. This meta-analysis highlights the marked variability in the management of infliximab salvage therapy and the need for further studies to determine the optimal dose strategy.

Fecal Calprotectin Responses Following Induction Therapy With Vedolizumab in Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis: A Post Hoc Analysis of GEMINI 1.

Project description:BackgroundIn patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), fecal calprotectin (FC) concentrations correlate with endoscopic inflammation evidence. This study investigated the effect of vedolizumab induction on FC concentrations and whether FC concentrations could be a reliable surrogate measure of disease status.MethodsData from the placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial GEMINI 1 were used to evaluate week-6 relationships between outcomes (including clinical remission, mucosal healing [MH], and endoscopic remission) and both absolute FC concentration values and relative FC concentration changes from baseline (%FC0-6). Sensitivity and specificity were calculated by cross-tabulation; the value of week-6 FC concentration as surrogate biomarker was measured with Youden J statistic computed for various cut points.ResultsGEMINI 1 induction phase enrolled 895 patients. Fecal calprotectin concentration decreases were deeper in patients with clinical remission, MH, and/or endoscopic remission than in patients without. The best week-6 indicator of clinical or endoscopic remission in this data set was absolute FC concentration ≤150 µg/g. The surrogate biomarker values (based on areas under the curve) for the best-performing cut points (FC0-6 reduction >90%, FC ≤150 µg/g) were fair (range, 0.70-0.77, total population). More patients met the ≤150 µg/g cut point with vedolizumab than with placebo. Baseline FC concentrations were not correlated with clinical outcomes.ConclusionsFecal calprotectin concentration reductions were greater with vedolizumab induction than with placebo. Week-6 FC concentrations had only fair surrogate biomarker value for endoscopic status. Our data suggest that, while FC may reflect inflammatory burden, FC concentration after vedolizumab induction may not be a robust biomarker of mucosal inflammation.

Oral Vancomycin Therapy in a Child with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis and Severe Ulcerative Colitis.

Project description:Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a rare progressive liver disease characterized by cholestasis and bile duct fibrosis, has no accepted, effective therapy known to delay or arrest its progression. We report a 15 year old female patient diagnosed with PSC and moderate chronic active ulcerative colitis (UC) who achieved normalization of her liver enzymes and bile ducts, and resolution of her UC symptoms with colonic mucosal healing, after treatment with a single drug therapy of the antibiotic oral vancomycin. We postulate that the oral vancomycin may be acting both as an antibiotic by altering the intestinal microbiome and as an immunomodulator. Oral vancomycin may be a promising treatment for PSC that needs to be further studied in randomized trials.

Gene expression changes associated with resistance to intravenous corticosteroid therapy in children with severe ulcerative colitis

Project description:Although corticosteroids remain a mainstay of therapy for UC, a meta-regression of cohort studies in acute severe ulcerative colitis (UC) showed that 29% of patients fail corticosteroid therapy and require escalation of medical management or colectomy. We aimed to determine whether genes expressed in whole blood early following initiation of intravenous corticosteroid treatment can be associated with response. 20 corticosteroid responsive (PUCAI < 35 by day 5) and 20 corticosteroid resistant patients (PUCAI ≥ 35 by day 5 and need for 2nd line medical therapy or colectomy by hospital discharge) were selected from a prospectively accrued cohort of patients hospitalized for intravenous corticosteroid treatment of severe UC. Total RNA was extracted from blood samples collected on day 3 of intravenous corticosteroid therapy. The eluted transcriptomes were quantified on Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays. The data was analysed by the local-pooled error method for discovery of differential gene expression and false discovery rate correction was applied to adjust for multiple comparisons. P-values less than 0.05 after correction were considered significant.

Managing acute severe ulcerative colitis in the hosptialised setting.

Project description:Ulcerative colitis affects approximately 146 000 people in the UK and is the most common form of inflammatory bowel disease. The majority of patients will have uncomplicated disease, but around 1 in 10 patients will develop acute severe colitis. Despite modern medical management, colectomy rates of 27% and mortality rates of 1% are still reported. Good supportive care and intravenous corticosteroids remain the mainstay of treatment, but up to one-third of patents will not respond. The Travis criteria allow early recognition of those patients failing to improve by day 3, allowing timely planning of medical rescue therapy or surgery. Rescue therapy with either infliximab or ciclosporin appears equally efficacious. Patients naive to thiopurines seem to have better colectomy-free survival rates following rescue therapy than those previously exposed. We review the published evidence behind the conventional management of acute severe ulcerative colitis.

Contrast-Enhanced Endoscopic Ultrasound Detects Early Therapy Response Following Anti-TNF Therapy in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis.

Project description:Background and aimsThough colonoscopy plays a crucial role in assessing active ulcerative colitis [aUC], its scope is limited to the mucosal surface. Endoscopic ultrasound [EUS] coupled with contrast-enhancement [dCEUS] can precisely quantify bowel wall thickness and microvascular circulation, potentially enabling the quantitative evaluation of inflammation. We conducted a prospective, longitudinal study to assess therapy response using dCEUS in aUC patients undergoing treatment with adalimumab [ADA] or infliximab [IFX].MethodsThirty ADA- and 15 IFX-treated aUC patients were examined at baseline and at 2, 6, and 14 weeks of therapy and 48 weeks of follow-up. Bowel wall thickness [BWT] was measured by EUS in the rectum. Vascularity was quantified by dCEUS using rise time [RT] and time to peak [TTP]. Therapy response was defined after 14 weeks using the Mayo Score.ResultsPatients with aUC displayed a mean BWT of 3.9 ± 0.9 mm. In case of response to ADA/IFX a significant reduction in BWT was observed after 2 weeks [p = 0.04], whereas non-responders displayed no significant changes. The TTP was notably accelerated at baseline and significantly normalized by week 2 in responders [p = 0.001], while non-responders exhibited no significant alterations [p = 0.9]. At week 2, the endoscopic Mayo score did not exhibit any changes, thus failing to predict treatment responses.ConclusiondCEUS enables the early detection of therapy response in patients with aUC, which serves as a predictive marker for long-term clinical success. Therefore, dCEUS serves as a diagnostic tool for assessing the probability of future therapy success.

Gene expression changes associated with resistance to intravenous corticosteroid therapy in children with severe ulcerative colitis.

Project description:Microarray analysis of RNA expression allows gross examination of pathways operative in inflammation. We aimed to determine whether genes expressed in whole blood early following initiation of intravenous corticosteroid treatment can be associated with response.From a prospectively accrued cohort of 128 pediatric patients hospitalized for intravenous corticosteroid treatment of severe UC, we selected for analysis 20 corticosteroid responsive (hospital discharge or PUCAI ?45 by day 5) and 20 corticosteroid resistant patients (need for second line medical therapy or colectomy, or PUCAI >45 by day 5). Total RNA was extracted from blood samples collected on day 3 of intravenous corticosteroid therapy. The eluted transcriptomes were quantified on Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays. The data was analysed by the local-pooled error method for discovery of differential gene expression and false discovery rate correction was applied to adjust for multiple comparisons.A total of 41 genes differentially expressed between responders and non-responders were detected with statistical significance. Two of these genes, CEACAM1 and MMP8, possibly inhibited by methylprednisolone through IL8, were both found to be over-expressed in non-responsive patients. ABCC4 (MRP4) as a member of the multi-drug resistance superfamily was a novel candidate gene for corticosteroid resistance. The expression pattern of a cluster of 10 genes selected from the 41 significant hits were able to classify the patients with 80% sensitivity and 80% specificity.Elevated expression of several genes involved in inflammatory pathways was associated with resistance to intravenous corticosteroid therapy early in the course of treatment. Gene expression profiles may be useful to classify resistance to intravenous corticosteroids in children with severe UC and assist with clinical management decisions.
