Abstract Background Extra-intestinal manifestations (EIM) are frequently reported in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Although the efficacy of TNF inhibitors is well documented, data regarding the effect of vedolizumab (VDZ) and ustekinumab (UST) are limited. Theoretically, the advantage of VDZ, i.e. gut-selectivity, may reduce the efficacy on EIM while the systemic effect of UST may be of benefit. Therefore, we evaluated the differences in new onset and evolution of EIM during both treatments. Methods An international multicentric retrospective study was performed on IBD patients who started VDZ or UST between May 2010 and December 2020. EIM were assessed at baseline and during follow-up. Arthropathy was defined as joint inflammation (arthritis/sacroiliitis) and arthralgia as articular pain without confirmed inflammation. Skin EIM included erythema nodosum (EN), pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) and Sweet syndrome. Ocular EIM included (epi)scleritis and uveitis. Uni- and multivariate analyses were performed. Results In total 856 patients were included: 528 treated with VDZ and 328 with UST. At baseline, arthropathy was more prevalent in UST treated patients (12.2% vs 7.2%; p=0.037; Table 1). No differences in rates of new onset (Fig 1) or evolution of pre-existing arthropathies could be identified between VDZ and UST. In multivariate analyses new onset arthropathy was not associated with smoking, IBD type, sex nor studied biological. In 5 out of 48 (10.4%) VDZ patients and 2 of 46 (4.3%) UST patients with either pre-existing or new arthropathy, treatment was stopped due to articular disease (difference not significant). In contrast, new arthralgia onset within 1 year of follow-up was significantly associated with VDZ treatment (OR 2.1 (1.1–4.0); p=0.022; Fig 1). Arthralgia was the reason to stop treatment in 2 of 87 (2.3%) VDZ patients and never in UST patients. Beside joint EIM, 2 patients developed EN, 1 PG and 1 episcleritis during VDZ treatment. Under UST treatment 1 patient developed EN. No patients developed new Sweet syndrome, scleritis nor uveitis. Conclusion No differences in the rate of new arthropathy onset were observed between VDZ and UST. In contrast, VDZ treatment did increase the risk of new onset arthralgia.

Abstract Background and Aims The association between tumour necrosis factor inhibitors [TNFi] and malignancy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] is not well understood. Our aim was to systematically evaluate the impact of TNFi use on risk of malignancy in IBD patients in daily clinical practice. Methods We searched Pubmed, Embase and Scopus until March 1, 2020 for observational cohort studies on adult IBD patients reporting malignancy occurrence and TNFi use. Results Twenty-eight studies [20 retrospective and eight prospective] were included, involving 298 717 IBD patients. Mean age at inclusion ranged from 28 to >65 years. Mean follow-up varied from 7 to 80 months. Infliximab was the most frequently used TNFi [13/28 studies, 46.4%], followed by adalimumab [3/28, 10.7%], while both infliximab and adalimumab were evaluated in five studies [17.8%]. In total, 692 malignancies were diagnosed in IBD patients treated with TNFi, accounting for an overall occurrence of 1.0%. The most frequent malignancies were non-melanoma skin cancers [123/692, 17.8%], digestive malignancies [120/692, 17.3%] and haematological malignancies [106/692, 15.3%]. The association between TNFi and malignancy was evaluated in 11 studies [39.3%]: no significant association was found in ten studies, while an increased risk of lymphoma in patients exposed to TNFi was reported in one study. Conclusion TNFi treatment is not associated with an increased risk of malignancy in IBD patients in real-life settings. Further large studies are needed to assess the prognosis of patients exposed to TNFi and risk of recurrence or new cancers in subjects with personal malignancy history.

Background:Biological therapy (BT) has changed the treatment and perspectives of JIA patients but little is known about when is the best moment to start BT and the impact of this prompt iniciation.Objectives:To analyze the response to BT of Juvenile Idiophatic Arthritis (JIA) patients according to the time when the BT was started.Methods:A retrospective, descriptive study was conducted on JIA patients followed up in a referal hospital that started BT up to 24 months after diagnosis from 2000 to 2018. Disease activity was measured, at 2 years after diagnosis, according to Wallace criteria for remission (absence of: active arthritis, active uveitis, fever, rash or any other manifestation attributable to JIA, normal CRP and ESR, PGA indicating no active disease) for at least 6 months.Results:55 JIA patients that started BT up to 24 months from diagnosis were analyzed. 69,1% were girls with a median age at diagnosis of 8 years old IQR(3-13), median age at the start of BT of 9 years old IQR(3-13). Regarding JIA categories: 25,5% were Oligoarticular Persistent (OligP), 18,2% Systemic JIA (sJIA), 16,4% Entesitis related Arthritis (ERA), 12,7% Psoriatic Arthritis (APso) and Polyarticular RF- (PolyRF-), 5,5% Oligoarticular Extended (OligE) and Polyarticular RF+ (PolyRF+), 3,6% Undifferentiated (Und). 20% of patients had uveitis during followup. Conventional DMARD (cDMARD) was indicated in 83,6% of patients (95,7% Methotrexate) at diagnosis [median 0 months IQR(0-2,3)]. At the end of followup (2 years) only 30,9% of patients continued with cDMARDs. The main causes of discontinuation were: adverse events (46,7%), remission (36,7%). TNF inhibitors were precribed in 81,8% of patients and 18,2% of patients recieved two BT during the first 2 years from diagnosis. 54,5% of BT were indicated during the first 6 months from diagnosis, 27,3% from 7 to 12 months, 12,7% from 13 to 18 months, 5,5% from 19 to 24 months.After 2 years from diagnosis, 78,2% of patients were on remission and 21,8% active. Among patients with active disease: 75% had arthritis, 16,7% had uveitis and 8,3% had both. There were no differences regarding disease activity among patients with uveitis and neither taking cDMARDs. Regarding JIA categories: 66,7% of OligE, 57,1% of PolyRF- and 57,1% of APso patients were active at 2 years from diagnosis when compared to the other categories (p=0.004).Patients on remission at 24 months from diagnosis started sooner the BT than active patients [CI 95% (0,46-8,29) p=0,029]. The time when the BT was started was correlated to the activity at 2 years (K= 0,294 p=0,029). When the BT was prescribed after 7,5months from diagnosis it was correlated, in a COR curve, with a higher probability of active disease at 2 years (S= 0,67 E= 0,63). There was a correlation, among patients on remission at 2 years, between prompt start of BT and less time to reach remission (K= -0,345 p=0,024). Patients with active disease at 2 years, regardless of moment of BT iniciation, required more BT during follow-up (p=0,002).Conclusion:Prompt iniciation of BT was correlated with a better outcome. JIA patients that started BT early after diagnosis had a higher probability of remission after 2 years. Starting BT after 7,5 months was correlated with a higher probability of active disease at 2 years. Active disease at 24 months was correlated with persistent active disease during follow-up.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract Background and Aims The immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) became a vital part of cancer treatment. The ICIs seem to be safer than chemotherapy for kidneys in clinical trials. However, recent observational studies from high-resource settings pointed out the possible underreporting of renal adverse events like acute kidney injury (AKI) in the clinical trials due to focusing only to the renal immune-related adverse events. Additionally, clinical trials generally enroll a fitter population with lesser comorbidities and include mostly treatment-naive patients making studies in real-life cohorts imperative for evaluating the AKI rates during ICI treatment. From these points, we aimed to evaluate the AKI rates and predisposing factors in ICI-treated patients. Method This retrospective study has evaluated the data of adult metastatic cancer patients treated with ICIs in Hacettepe University Cancer Center from 01.2014 to 12.2019. All patients other than the ones treated within the context of clinical trials or followed in other institutions after the first dose of ICIs were included. Baseline demographics, cancer types, patient weight and heights, ICI type and the number of cycles, serum creatinine and the estimated GFR values under treatment, regular medications, and comorbidities were recorded. AKI was defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria. The predisposing factors to AKI development were evaluated with the univariate and multivariate analyses. Results A total of 147 patients were included in the analyses. Median age was 61 [interquartile range (IQR) 51-67], and 69.4% of the patients were male. Patients were given a median of 8 (IQR 5-17) ICI cycles. Patients with melanoma (24.5%), non-small cell lung cancer (15%), and renal cell carcinoma (25.9%) comprised almost 2/3 of the cohort and 72.8% of the patients were treated with nivolumab. Hypertension was the most common comorbidity (38.1%), followed by chronic kidney disease (21.2%) and type 2 diabetes (19.7%). Median Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was 8 (7-9). Median follow-up was 10.3 (IQR 6.3-19.4) months, and patients had median 9 (IQR 5-18) serum creatinine measurements. During the follow-up, 28 patients (19%) had at least one AKI episode with multiple AKI episodes in 3 patients (10.7%). The median time to AKI development was 2.53 (IQR 1.39-6.19) months. Almost all AKI events were mild (grade 1 or 2 in 27/28) and reversible (25/28). In univariate analyses, coronary artery disease (CAD) (p=<0.001), chronic kidney disease (CKD) (p=0.002), previous nephrectomy (p=0.015), iodinated contrast exposure in the week before immunotherapy (p=0.035), the use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (p=0.046) or proton pump inhibitors (PPI) (p=0.041) was associated with an increased AKI risk. The association between diabetes (p=0.067), higher CCI (9 vs. ≥9, p=0.107), baseline lactate dehydrogenase levels (p=0.177), and performance status (ECOG 0 vs. ≥1, p=0.235) and AKI risk did not reach statistical significance. In multivariate analyses, patients with CKD (OR: 3.719, 95% CI: 1.375- 10.057, p=0.010) or CAD (OR: 4.774, 95% CI: 1.803- 12.641, p=0.002) had increased AKI risk. Additionally, regular PPI use (OR: 2.734, 95% CI: .991- 7.542, p=0.052) had borderline statistical significance for AKI development. The development of AKI was not associated with decreased survival (HR: 0.726, 95% CI: 0.409-1.291, p=0.276). Conclusion In this study, we observed AKI development under ICIs in almost one in five cancer patients. The increased AKI rates in patients with CAD, CKD, or regular PPI use pointed out the need for better onco-nephrology collaboration in all ICI-treated patients, with a particular emphasis in these high-risk patients.

Real - life data on the effectiveness and safety of biosimilar and biologic drugs licensed for treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is lacking. Aim. To investigate efficacy of original Infliximab (IFX) and its biosimilar in treating patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and determine the frequency of adverse events during 1 year follow - up period. Materials and methods. Our cohort consisted of 98 ulcerative colitis patients, treated with original IFX and its biosimilar since December 2017 till December 2018 years. Original Infliximab was prescribed in 56 UC patients (57.1%) during 5 years and longer; 16 patients (16.3%) were switched to IFX biosimilar; 13 UC bio - naïve patients (13.3%) received original IFX, 29 (29.6%) patients - biosimilar IFX. In 14 patients (14.3%) original infliximab was rotated with biosimilar. We picked out 42 patients to assess efficacy of original IFX and biosimilar. Results and discussion. Twelve patients, received original IFX and 28 patients, treated with its biosimilar, showed significant clinical improvement by decreasing Mayo index from 9.7±0.4 and 10.2±0.2 points to 1.9±0.09 and 2.1±0.1 points, accordingly. Also we noticed positive change in laboratory markers - CRP decrease from 89.6±8.7 mg/l and 77.5±8.0 mg/l to 6.5±0.8 mg/l and 6.9±0.8 mg/l (p>0.05), albumin increase from 30.1±4.7 g/l and 29.6±3.6 g/l to 34.1±6.3 g/l and 32.8±5.9 g/l (p>0.05), increase of serum iron levels from 6.4±0.5 mcg/l and 7.1±0.65 mcg/l to 14.6±4.4 mcg/l and 15.9±5.1 mcg/l (p>0.05), hemoglobin increase from 104.7±9.8 g/l and 102.2±8.8 g/l till 124±11.3 g/l and 121±10.9 g/l (p>0.05), and fecal calprotectin decrease from 1680±134 mcg/g and 1720±126 mcg/g till 245.5±33.4 mcg/g and 230.5±29.8 mcg/g (p>0.05). During 1 year follow - up 12 UC patients, treated with original IFX and its biosimilar, developed adverse events. The majority of adverse events (n=8) were registered in patients, rotating administration of original IFX and its biosimilar. Conclusion. IFX biosimilar is effective as well as original IFX. Frequency of adverse events, occurred in patients, treated with original IFX, was comparable with adverse events frequency in patients, received biosimilar IFX. Frequency of adverse events was significantly higher in UC patients, rotating original IFX and its biosimilar.

Background: Currently, diabetes represents the seventh leading cause of death worldwide, with a significant economic burden. The number and severity of comorbidities increase with age, and are identified as important determinants that influence the prognosis. We aimed to investigate comorbidities and outcomes in a cohort of hospitalized elderly patients affected by diabetes. Methods: In this observational study, we retrospectively analyzed data collected from the REgistro dei pazienti per lo studio delle POlipatologie e politerapie in reparti della rete Simi (RePoSI) registry. Socio-demographic, clinical characteristics, and laboratory findings were considered. The association between variables and in-hospital and 1-year follow-up were analyzed. Results: Among 4708 in-patients, 1378 (29.3%) had a diagnosis of diabetes. Patients with diabetes had more previous hospitalization, a clinically significant disability, and more need for a urinary catheter in comparison with subjects without diabetes. Patients affected by diabetes took more drugs, both at admission, at in-hospital stay, at discharge, and at 1-year follow-up. Thirty-five comorbidities were more frequent in patients with diabetes, and the first five were hypertension (57.1%), ischemic heart disease (31.4%), chronic renal failure (28.8%), atrial fibrillation (25.6%), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (22.7%). Heart rate was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality. At 1-year follow-up, cancer and male sex were strongly independently associated with mortality. Conclusions: Our findings showed the severity of the impact of diabetes and its comorbidities in the real life of internal medicine and geriatric wards, and provide data to be used for a better tailored management of elderly in-patients with diabetes.

Abstract Introduction : To date, the ELN recommendation and NCCN guidelines are the principle mile stones to follow up the treatment response and to make the decision of TKIs switching. However, in real life practice, many factors influence changing the real switching date from the date had an indication. This study aims to analyze the impact of early switching to second line TKI, nilotinib, in real life practice, for the CML patients who failed, had sub-optimal response or were intolerant to imatinib. Methods : This prospective study was conducted through 7 medical centers in Thailand between 1st of September 2009 and 31st of August 2011. Adult CML patients of age ≥ 18 years old, in chronic and accelerated phase, who had failure, suboptimal response or intolerance to imatinib, based on ELN 2009 guideline, were included and were eligible with nilotinib 400 mg twice daily. Prospective data collection for 24 months of each patient was performed. The main objective was to identify the impact of early switching to nilotinib on major molecular response (MMR). The other objectives were to observe the efficacy of nilotinib including overall survival, progression free survival and the safety. The survival results were presented as Kaplan-Meier survival curves. For the comparison of the treatment groups, the Kaplan-Meier estimator with the corresponding log-rank test for equality of survivor functions across treatment group was applied. Results : The final 108 cases were analysed. The median age was 47 (17-79) years with the proportion of male to female of 1.4:1 respectively. The median duration of the prior imatinib treatment was 18 months (2-142 months). The median duration between the date of indication and the date of real switching was 3.1 months (0-62.8 months) with 50% changing less than 3 months, 26.9% between 3 months and 12 months, and 23.1% changing longer than 12 months. The indication of switching included 63.6% failure to imatinib, 29% intolerance to imatinib and 7.4% suboptimal to imatinib. On the nilotinib switching, 70.4% completed 24 months follow-up, and 29.6% discontinued treatment mostly because of unsatisfactory results or adverse events. Evaluation was made every 3 months based on 2009 ELN recommendation. At 3 months, 57%, 20%, and 8% of the patients achieved CHR, CCyR and MMR, respectively. Those who did not achieve CHR at 3 months never achieved MMR, while 86 % of those who achieved CCyR at 3 months achieved MMR. All CML achieving MMR at 3 months had sustained MMR throughout the study period (24 months). Imatinib suboptimal response had better outcome than imatinib failure and imatinib intolerance groups. A preliminary analysis of BCR-ABL mutation was performed on 90 cases, and mutations were found on 21 cases. Two of them were T315I which were excluded from the study. The cases with mutation had poorer response to treatment than those without mutation. There was one case with initial G250E mutation developing T315I mutation after treatment with nilotinib. At 24 months, one case progressed to accelerated phase and 3 cases progressed to blastic transformation. The 2-year overall survival and 2-year progression-free survival and were 98.9% and 96.9% (figure 1 and 2), respectively. The interquatile analysis was done to identify the groups of cumulative MMR according to the duration between the date of indication and the date of real switching to nilotinib. The patients who switched to nilotinib within 12 months after date of indication could have a greater chance to achieved MMR than those who switched treatment later than 12 months (p(log-rank) = 0.002) (figure 3). Skin rash, musculoskeletal pain, and infection were the three most common non-hematologic adverse events, However, most of them were grade 1-2, except for 4 cases with grade 3-4 infections. Grade 3-4 hematologic adverse events included thrombocytopenia (12%), neutropenia (11%), anemia (5%) and leucopenia (4%), and most of them were manageable. Although biochemical abnormalities were commonly found, most of them were mild. Conclusions : Nilotinib, as a second line treatment showed excellent efficacy and tolerability. Indication for nilotinib treatment, initial mutation status and depth of response at 3 months after treatment can predict outcomes of the patients. However, the patients will have a greater chance to achieve MMR if they switched to nilotinib within 12 months after the date of indication for changing. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

AbstractWe sought to demonstrate the impact of improved peak exercise oxygen consumption (V̇O2) during maximal exercise testing after cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on the incidence of arrhythmias in patients with heart failure (HF). The present study comprised of 220 patients with HF, and peak V̇O2 was examined at 2 and 5 months after CR. Of the 220 patients, 110 (50%) had a low peak V̇O2 of < 14 mL/min/kg at 2 months. The peak V̇O2 improved in 86 of these 110 (78%) patients at 5 months after CR. During a median follow-up of 6 years, the patients with improvement in peak V̇O2, compared to those without peak V̇O2 improvement, had a lower rate of mortality (4% vs. 29%, log-rank, P < 0.001) and HF hospitalization (6 vs. 17%, log-rank, P = 0.044) and a lower incidence of new-onset atrial arrhythmias (9 vs. 27%, log-rank, P = 0.013), with no difference in the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias between groups (1 vs. 4%, log-rank, P = 0.309). The majority of deaths in the patients without an improved peak V̇O2 were because of cardiovascular events (73%), particularly progressive HF (55%). Early detection and management of atrial arrhythmias may improve outcomes in patients without peak V̇O2 improvement after CR.

Abstract Background Mild preoperative renal dysfunction (RD) is not rare in patients receiving isolated cardiopulmonary coronary artery bypass grafting (CCABG). However, there are not too many studies about the impact of mild preoperative RD on in-hospital and follow-up outcomes after isolated CCABG. This single-centre, retrospective propensity score matching study designed to study the impact of mild preoperative RD on in-hospital and long-term outcomes after first isolated CCABG. Methods After propensity score matching, 1144 patients with preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of more than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 receiving first isolated CCABG surgery from January 2012 to December 2015 entered the study, who were divided into 2 groups: A group (eGFR ≥90 ml/min/1.73 m2, n = 572) and B group (eGFR of 60–89 ml/min/1.73 m2, n = 572). The in-hospital and long-term outcomes were recorded and analyzed. The mean follow-up time was 54.4 ± 10.7 months. Acute kidney injury (AKI) was defined and classified according to the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria. Results The 2 propensity score-matched groups had similar baseline and procedure except the baseline eGFR. There were 8 patients died in A group (mortality is 1.4%) and 14 died in B group (mortality is 2.5%) during the in hospital and 30-day postoperatively(χ2 = 1.159, p = 0.282). There were totally 38 patients lost to follow-up, 18 in group A and 20 in group B. 21 patients died in group A and 37 died in group B during the follow-up, and long-term survival in group A was higher than in group B (96.2% vs 93.1%, χ2 = 4.336, p = 0.037). Comparing with group A, group B was associated with an increased rates and severity of AKI postoperatively (total AKI: 62 vs 144. AKIN stageI: 54 vs 113; AKIN stageII: 6 vs 22; AKIN stageIII: 2 vs 9, p<0.0001). During follow-up, group B also had a higher rate of new onset of dialysis (0 vs 6, χ2 = 4.432, p = 0.039). Multivariable logistic regression showed that comparing with A group, the HR for long-term mortality and new onset of dialysis in B group was 1.67 and 1.52 respectively (95%CI 1.09–2.90, p = 0.035; 95%CI 1.14–2.49, p = 0.027). Conclusions Comparing with normal preoperative renal function, patients with mild preoperative RD had a similar in-hosptial mortality, but with an increased in-hosptial rates and severity of AKI, and with a decreased long-term survival and increased long-term new onset of dialysis.
