RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Biological therapies used for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have shown to be effective and safe, although these results were obtained from studies involving mostly a young population, who are generally included in clinical trials. The aim of our study was to determine the efficacy and safety of the different biological treatments in the elderly population. METHODS: Multicenter study was carried out in the GETECCU group. Patients diagnosed with IBD and aged over 65 years at the time of initiating biological therapy (infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab, ustekinumab or vedolizumab) were retrospectively included. Among the patients included, clinical response was assessed after drug induction (12 weeks of treatment) and at 52 weeks. Patients' colonoscopy data in week 52 were assessment, where available. Regarding complications, development of oncological events during follow-up and infectious processes occurring during biological treatment were collected (excluding bowel infection by cytomegalovirus). RESULTS: A total of 1090 patients were included. After induction, at approximately 12-14 weeks of treatment, 419 patients (39.6%) were in clinical remission, 502 patients (47.4%) had responded without remission and 137 patients (12.9%) had no response. At 52 weeks of treatment 442 patients (57.1%) had achieved clinical remission, 249 patients had responded without remission (32.2%) and 53 patients had no response to the treatment (6.8%). Before 52 weeks, 129 patients (14.8%) had discontinued treatment due to inefficacy, this being significantly higher (p<0.0001) for Golimumab - 9 patients (37.5%) - compared to the other biological treatments analyzed. With respect to tumor development, an oncological event was observed in 74 patients (6.9%): 30 patients (8%) on infliximab, 23 (7.14%) on adalimumab, 3 (11.1%) on golimumab, 10 (6.4%) on ustekinumab, and 8 (3.8%) on vedolizumab. The incidence was significantly lower (p=0.04) for the vedolizumab group compared to other treatments. As regards infections, these occurred in 160 patients during treatment (14.9%), with no differences between the different biologicals used (p=0.61): 61 patients (19.4%) on infliximab, 39 (12.5%) on adalimumab, 5 (17.8%) on golimumab, 22 (14.1%) on ustekinumab, and 34 (16.5%) on vedolizumab. CONCLUSIONS: Biological drug therapies have response rates in elderly patients similar to those described in the general population, Golimumab was the drug that was discontinued most frequently due to inefficacy. In our experience, tumor development was more frequent in patients who used anti-TNF therapies compared to other targets, although its incidence was generally low and that this is in line with younger patients based on previous literature.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: ustekinumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody against IL-12/23, approved for induction and maintenance treatment of Crohn's disease (CD). Real-life data shows its true effectiveness in terms of clinical and endoscopic response. However, there is little information regarding health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in CD patients receiving ustekinumab. The main aim of this study was to define long-term clinical remission and HRQoL normalization. The clinical predictive factors of clinical remission were investigated as a secondary aim. METHODS: a retrospective, observational study was performed in CD patients under ustekinumab treatment in the Hospital Vall d'Hebron, between January 2009 and January 2019. Clinical remission was defined using the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) and HRQoL normalization was defined by the 36-item Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ). RESULTS: thirty-three patients were included. The average disease evolution was eleven years (standard deviation [SD]: 8), perianal disease was present in 13 patients (39 %), 30 patients (91 %) had previously been treated with alfa tumor necrosis factor antagonists (anti-TNF) agents and 22 patients (67 %) had a history of intestinal resection. Twenty-four patients (73 %) had undergone one year of treatment. Seventeen patients (51 %) reached clinical remission and six (18 %) restored the HRQoL. No predictors of clinical remission were identified. CONCLUSIONS: ustekinumab shows clinical effectiveness in real-life conditions similar to previous data. Normalization of HRQoL is low compared to clinical remission, which may be due to the inaccuracy of the indicator and the severe disease course. Such normalization is a challenge for physicians dealing with inflammatory bowel diseases.

RESUMO

Background and Aims: There is little agreement on the nomenclature and description of Crohn's disease (CD) lesions that can be found in the small and large bowel using capsule endoscopy (CE). We performed a systematic review to identify mucosal lesions that have been described using CE in CD, in both the small bowel and colon, with the aim to make propositions to homogenize such descriptions. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using Embase, Medline (OvidSP), and Cochrane Central on August 6, 2019. Clinical studies providing nomenclature and descriptions for small bowel and colonic inflammatory lesions using CE in CD were selected for data collection. Results: In total, 851 articles were included for abstract screening out of which 219 were analyzed for full-text review. Twenty-two articles were selected for data extraction. Seven items, accompanied by clear descriptions, were found for the small bowel: i.e., ulcer, erosion, aphthoid lesion, edema, fissure, cobblestone appearance, and villous atrophy. No studies were found describing inflammatory items using CE in colonic CD. Conclusions: The most frequently described CD lesions using CE were ulcers and erosions. Subjective interpretation of CE inflammatory findings plays an important role. Based on our findings, a range of suggestions regarding items and descriptions is made that might form the basis of a pan-enteric CE activity index.
