Project description:BackgroundDue to wide-ranging impacts of Ulcerative Colitis (UC), regulatory authorities emphasize the importance of including validated patient-reported symptom severity measures in clinical trials.AimTo describe the development and validation of the Ulcerative Colitis-Symptom Questionnaire (UC-SQ).MethodsThe UC-SQ was developed in a qualitative study involving a targeted literature review, semi-structured concept elicitation interviews, and combined concept elicitation/cognitive interviews. Measurement properties, including item-level analyses, factor structure, reliability, validity, responsiveness, and clinically meaningful change were evaluated using data from a phase 2b, randomized trial in adults with UC (N = 113).ResultsFourteen symptom concepts were elicited across 22 interviews, with saturation at the fifth interview. Twenty-two items were unmodified as cognitive interview participants interpreted underlying concepts correctly. Instructions were clear and items were relevant, with appropriate response options and recall periods. Reduction to 17 items was completed prior to psychometric testing. Two items (joint pain/constipation) did not contribute to reliability in initial testing and were included as non-scored items. The 15-item UC-SQ showed evidence of internal consistency (α = 0.86) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.88). The UC-SQ discriminated by disease severity as defined by Mayo and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire scores (p < 0.0001). Convergent validity was supported by strong correlations with criterion measures. The UC-SQ was responsive in patients indicating change in other measures. A 10-point decrease from baseline indicated within-patient meaningful improvement.ConclusionsThe UC-SQ is reliable, valid and responsive, with a 10-point improvement estimating within-patient clinically meaningful improvement. The tool is fit-for-purpose as a key endpoint in pivotal UC trials.

Project description:BackgroundAdalimumab is a fully human, monoclonal antibody against tumor necrosis factor that is approved in Western countries for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).MethodsThis 52-week, phase 2/3, randomized, double-blind study evaluated adalimumab for induction and maintenance treatment in 273 anti-TNF-naive Japanese patients with UC who were refractory to corticosteroids, immunomodulators, or both. Patients received placebo, adalimumab 80/40 (80 mg at week 0, then 40 mg every other week), or adalimumab 160/80 (160/80 mg at weeks 0/2, then 40 mg every other week) in addition to background UC therapy.ResultsAt week 8, remission rates were similar among treatment arms, but more patients treated with adalimumab 160/80 achieved response (placebo, 35 %; 80/40, 43 %; 160/80, 50 %; P = 0.044 for 160/80 vs placebo) and mucosal healing (placebo, 30 %; 80/40, 39 %; 160/80, 44 %; P = 0.045 for 160/80 vs placebo) compared with placebo. At week 52, more patients receiving adalimumab 40 mg every other week achieved response (18 vs 31 %; P = 0.021), remission (7 vs 23 %; P = 0.001), and mucosal healing (16 vs 29 %; P = 0.015) compared with placebo. Week 8 response to adalimumab was associated with greater rates of response (61 %), remission (46 %), and mucosal healing (57 %) at week 52 relative to the overall population. Rates of serious adverse events were similar between treatment arms.ConclusionsInduction with adalimumab 160/80 mg led to early response and mucosal healing. Maintenance adalimumab had greater rates of long-term response, remission, and mucosal healing compared with placebo. No new safety signals were identified.

Project description:BackgroundThe 52-week safety and efficacy of adalimumab in Japanese patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis were demonstrated in a placebo-controlled phase 2/3 trial. Data from patients who enrolled in the open-label extension study are presented.MethodsRemission and response per the full Mayo score (FMS) and the partial Mayo score (PMS), remission per the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) score, corticosteroid-free remission, and mucosal healing were assessed up to week 196 (week 208 for remission/response per PMS) of adalimumab treatment in patients who received one or more doses of adalimumab with use of a hybrid nonresponder imputation (hNRI) method. Nonresponder imputation was used for missing data up to the latest possible follow-up date for each patient, followed by observed case. Adalimumab trough concentrations were reported from week 52 to week 196 of treatment. Treatment-emergent adverse events were reported for all adalimumab-treated patients.ResultsTwo hundred sixty-six patients received adalimumab. At week 196 of treatment, remission and response rates per FMS, remission and response rates per PMS, remission rate per IBDQ score, mucosal healing rate, and corticosteroid-free remission rate were 19.2%, 32.2%, 22.5%, 32.5%, 33.1%, 30.5% (hNRI), and 40.5% (17/42; as observed), respectively. Serum adalimumab concentrations remained constant in patients receiving 40 mg every other week but increased in patients who underwent dose escalation. The safety profile was consistent with that in the 52-week study.ConclusionsThe efficacy of adalimumab in Japanese patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis was maintained for up to 4 years of treatment. No new safety signals were observed.

Project description:Background and aims. The etiopathology of inflammatory bowel diseases is still poorly understood. To date, only few little data are available on the microbiota composition in ulcerative colitis (UC), representing a major subform of inflammatory bowel diseases. Currently, one of the main challenges is to unravel the interactions between genetics and environmental factors in the onset or during the progression and maintenance of the disease. The aim of the present study was to analyse twin pairs discordant for UC for both gut microbiota dysbiosis and host expression profiles at a mucosal level and to get insight into the functional genomic crosstalk between microbiota and mucosal epithelium in vivo. Methods. Biopsies were sampled from the sigmoid colon of both healthy and diseased siblings from UC discordant twin pairs but also from healthy twins. Microbiota profiles were assessed by 16S rDNA libraries while mRNA expression profiles were analysed from the same volunteers using Affymetrix microarrays. Results. UC patients showed a dysbiotic microbiota with lower diversity and more species belonging to Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria phyla. On the contrary, their healthy siblingsM-bM-^@M-^Y microbiota contained more bacteria from the Lachnospiracea and Ruminococcaceae family than did healthy individuals . Sixty-three host transcripts significantly correlated with bacterial genera in healthy individuals whereas only 43 and 32 correlated with bacteria in healthy and UC siblings from discordant pairs, respectively. Several transcripts related to oxidative and immune responses were differentially expressed between unaffected and UC siblings. Conclusion. A loss of crosstalk between gut microbiota and host was highlighted in UC patients. This defect was also striking in healthy siblings from discordant pairs, as was the lower biodiversity within the microbiota. Our results suggest disease-relevant interactions between host transcriptome and microbiota. Moreover, unusual aerobic bacteria were noticed in UC mucosal microbiota, whereas healthy siblings from discordant pairs had higher percentages of potentially beneficialusual commensal bacterial species. Paired samples (twins) were analyzed to obtain data independent of genetic variation

Project description:Background and objectiveMirikizumab is a humanized anti-interleukin-23-p19 monoclonal antibody being developed for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. This analysis characterized mirikizumab pharmacokinetics using phase II and III trial data from patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.MethodsSerum pharmacokinetic data in patients receiving mirikizumab 50-1000 mg intravenously every 4 weeks as induction treatment and mirikizumab 200 mg subcutaneously every 4 or 12 weeks as maintenance treatment across three trials (N = 1362) were analyzed using non-linear mixed-effects modeling. Covariate effects on mirikizumab exposure were evaluated using simulation-based estimations.ResultsMirikizumab pharmacokinetics was best described by a linear two-compartment model with first-order absorption. Clearance, volume of distribution for central and peripheral compartments, and half-life were estimated at approximately 0.022 L/h (linear), 3.11 L and 1.69 L, and 9.5 days, respectively. Statistically significant effects of body weight and serum albumin levels on clearance, body weight on central and peripheral volumes of distribution, and body mass index on bioavailability were observed but effects were small relative to random inter-individual variability (% coefficient of variation: 18-64%). The subcutaneous bioavailability of mirikizumab was 48%.ConclusionsMirikizumab displayed pharmacokinetic characteristics typical of a monoclonal antibody where clearance increased with body weight and decreased with the albumin level, and bioavailability decreased with body mass index. These effects were small relative to random variability, indicating that a dose adjustment for patient factors is not required.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02589665 (28 October, 2015), NCT03518086 (8 May, 2018), NCT03524092 (14 May, 2018).

Project description:Infliximab, an anti-TNF-alpha monoclonal antibody, is an effective treatment for ulcerative colitis (UC) with over 60% of patients responding to treatment and up to 30% reaching remission. The mechanism of resistance to anti-TNF-alpha is unknown. This study used colonic mucosal gene expression to provide a predictive response signature for infliximab treatment in UC. Keywords: drug response Twenty-four patients with active UC, refractory to corticosteroids and/or immunosuppression, underwent colonoscopy with biopsies from diseased colon within a week prior to the first intravenous infusion of 5 mg infliximab per kg body weight. Response to infliximab was defined as endoscopic and histologic healing at 4-6 weeks after first infliximab treatment. Six control patients with normal colonoscopy were included. Total RNA was isolated from colonic mucosal biopsies, labelled and hybridized to Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays.

Project description:Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic chronic inflammatory disorder of the colonic mucosa with rising incidence. Despite numerous known genetic risk loci environmental factors seem to be crucial in the pathogenesis of this complex disease with suboptimal treatment options. Approaches utilizing methods of systemic biology have been started to use in the analysis of mucosal biopsies in order to get a more comprehensive view of the changes related to the disorder. Our aim was to test the capability of a new mass spectrometry (MS) -based assay (PCT-SWATH mass spectrometry) to characterize host proteomes both in inflamed and non-inflamed colon tissues of an UC patient cohort.

Project description:Background and aims: Mucosal abnormalities are potentially important in the primary pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC). We investigated the mucosal transcriptomic expression profiles of biopsies from patients with UC and healthy controls (HC), taken from macroscopically non-inflamed tissue from the terminal ileum and three colonic locations with the objective of identifying abnormal molecules that might be involved in disease development. Methods: Whole-genome transcriptional analysis was performed on intestinal biopsies taken from 24 UC, 26 HC and 14 patients with CrohnM-bM-^@M-^Ys disease. Differential gene expression analysis was performed at each tissue location separately and results were then meta-analysed using FisherM-bM-^@M-^Ys method. Significantly differentially expressed genes were validated using qPCR. Gene location within the colon was determined using immunohistochemistry, subcellular fractionation, electron and confocal microscopy. DNA methylation was quantified by pyrosequencing. Results: Seven probes were abnormally expressed throughout the colon in UC patients with Family with sequence similarity member 5 C (FAM5C) being the most significantly underexpressed. Attenuated expression of FAM5C in UC was independent of inflammation, unrelated to phenotype or treatment, and remained low at rebiopsy approximately 23 months later. FAM5C is localised to the brush border of the colonic epithelium and expression is influenced by DNA methylation within its promoter. Conclusion: Genome-wide expression analysis of non-inflamed mucosal biopsies from UC patients identified FAM5C as significantly under-expressed throughout the colon in a major sub-set of patients with UC. Low levels of this gene could predispose to or contribute to the maintenance of the characteristic mucosal inflammation seen in this condition. Total RNA was extracted from the intestinal biopsies taken from macroscopically normal mucosa in the rectum, descending colon, ascending colon and terminal ileum in clinically quiescent Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease patients and compared to healthy controls. Normalized data for 26,261 probes out of 47,323 only. Criteria for inclusion not specified. The non-normalized matrix contains the complete non-normalized data for all probes.
