ABSTRACT
A certain number of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are refractory to anti-TNF-α antibodies; biomarkers are thus needed to predict treatment efficacy. This study aimed to evaluate whether serum biomarkers that were reported to be associated with UC or anti-TNF-α antibody could predict the response to golimumab, a human anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibody, in bio-naïve patients with UC. We prospectively enrolled 23 consecutive patients with UC who were treated with golimumab. Serum samples were collected before the first golimumab dose. Eleven molecules were measured by electrochemiluminescence (ECL) or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and their association with efficacy after 10 weeks of golimumab treatment. Among the serum biomarkers, IL-13 levels were significantly higher in the non-remission group than in the remission group (p = 0.014). IL-15 levels were significantly lower in the non-response group than in the response group (p = 0.04). For clinical remission at week 10, the IL-13 0.20 concentration of pg/mL was associated with a sensitivity and specificity of 82.4% and 83.3%, respectively. Serum IL-13 may be a biomarker to predict golimumab efficacy in biologic-naïve patients with UC, and thus may help to tailor personalized treatment strategies.
