ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to assess the durability, short-term and long-term effectiveness, and safety of tofacitinib in ulcerative colitis (UC) in clinical practice. METHODS: This is a retrospective multicenter study including patients with UC who had received the first tofacitinib dose at least 8 weeks before the inclusion. Clinical effectiveness was based on partial Mayo score. RESULTS: A total of 408 patients were included. Of them, 184 (45%) withdrew tofacitinib during follow-up (mean = 18 months). The probability of maintaining tofacitinib was 67% at 6 m, 58% at 12 m, and 49% at 24 m. The main reason for tofacitinib withdrawal was primary nonresponse (44%). Older age at the start of tofacitinib and a higher severity of clinical activity were associated with tofacitinib withdrawal. The proportion of patients in remission was 38% at week 4, 45% at week 8, and 47% at week 16. Having moderate-to-severe vs mild disease activity at baseline and older age at tofacitinib start were associated with a lower and higher likelihood of remission at week 8, respectively. Of 171 patients in remission at week 8, 83 (49%) relapsed. The probability of maintaining response was 66% at 6 m and 54% at 12 m. There were 93 adverse events related to tofacitinib treatment (including 2 pulmonary thromboembolisms [in patients with risk factors] and 2 peripheral vascular thrombosis), and 29 led to tofacitinib discontinuation. DISCUSSION: Tofacitinib is effective in both short-term and long-term in patients with UC. The safety profile is similar to that previously reported.

ABSTRACT

We report the case of a 62-year-old woman who was admitted for epigastralgia and oral intolerance for 15 days, associating cholestasis in blood tests. A magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) revealed the presence of a lobulation continuous with the cystic duct that was consistent with a Todani VI bile duct cyst. The biliary cyst Todani VI is a rare entity within bile duct malformations. The first well-documented case was reported back in 1983, and its inclusion as sixth type in the classification was suggested in 1991. It is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain that we must keep in mind, and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment lies in the condition's oncogenic potential.
