Abstract Background The interleukin-6 family cytokine, oncostatin-M (OSM) has been associated with a lack of remission to tumor necrosis factor-α antagonists (anti-TNFs) in small cohorts of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We aimed to further evaluate the association between plasma OSM concentrations and response to anti-TNFs (infliximab and adalimumab) in addition to other clinical outcomes in both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). Methods A retrospective cohort study was carried out in patients with IBD with a history of anti-TNF exposure. Blood samples, collected prior to anti-TNF exposure, were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the presence and quantity of OSM. The primary outcome evaluated was clinical remission at 1-year based on the Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI, remission, HBI<5) for CD and the Partial Mayo Score for UC (remission, Partial Mayo Score<2). Data pertaining to the occurrence of surgery, hospitalization, corticosteroid use, and adverse drug events during the 1-year follow-up period were also collected. Lastly the threshold OSM plasma concentration associated with anti-TNF non-response was assessed by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results One hundred and fourteen patients with IBD (CD, n=73; UC, n=40) seen at a tertiary care centre in London, Ontario Canada, were included in the analyses. Patients received one of infliximab (n=61) or adalimumab (n=53). For those with UC achieving clinical remission at 1-year (n=24), the mean OSM concentration was 84.5±119.7pg/ml versus those not achieving clinical remission (n=16) where the mean OSM concentration was 1064.0±958.8pg/ml (p<0.0001). For those with CD, the mean OSM concentration was 116.3 ± 222.3pg/ml in those achieving clinical remission (n=52) versus those did not (n=22) where the mean OSM concentration was 1220.0 ± 1274.0pg/ml (p<0.0001). A threshold OSM concentration of 168.7pg/ml in CD and 233.6pg/ml in UC separated those who achieved clinical remission at 1-year on an anti-TNF from those who did not (CD: area under the receiver operator characteristic curve, AUROC=0.880, 95%CI=0.79-0.96, p<0.0001; UC: AUROC=0.938, 95%CI=0.87-1.00, p<0.0001). In CD, participants with a plasma OSM concentration above the threshold concentration of 168.7pg/ml, were more likely to discontinue their anti-TNF at 1-year (p<0.0001), require hospitalization (p=0.0019) and/or corticosteroid rescue therapy (p<0.0001), require a surgical intervention (p=0.0087) or experience a drug-related adverse event (p=0.009). Conclusion OSM plasma concentrations were associated with response to anti-TNFs at 1-year in IBD. A threshold OSM concentration of 168.7pg/ml distinguished patients with CD at-risk of poor clinical outcomes.

Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is comprised of two major disorders: Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s disease. Ulcerative Colitis affects the colon, where as Crohn’s disease can involve any component of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the perianal area. These disorders have somewhat different pathologic and clinical characteristics, but with substantial overlap; their pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Objective To determine & detect different predictors that help us to characterize patients with high probability of undergoing surgical intervention for inflammatory bowel diseases. Patients and Methods The present study was designed to detect & identify possible factors that can be used to predict surgical intervention in patients with IBD. The present study was a case control study that was conducted on 80 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (either controlled by medical treatment or needed surgical intervention as a part of disease control) who were recruited form Ain-Shams university hospitals and El Quabbary general hospital in Alexandria. In the present study, the mean age of the included patients was 36.67 ±8.5 years old and 50% of the patients were males. The mean age at the onset of the disease was 25.81 ±6.8 years old. Results In the present study, there were statistically significant differences between surgical and medical patients in terms of CDAI for CD (p < 0.001) and Mayo score for UC (p < 0.001). Surgical patients were more likely to have higher scores. CDAI and Mayo score were negative predictors of surgical treatment. CDAI score > 287 and Mayo score > 8.5 achieved high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of surgical treatment. In the present study, we found that there was statistically significant differences between surgical and medical patients in terms of Stool Calprotectin level. Surgical patients were more likely to have higher Stool Calprotectin level. Stool Calprotectin level was negative predictor of surgical treatment at a level of > 341.5 microgm/gm with high sensitivity and specificity. Conclusion Surgical treatment is a common outcome in IBD. Certain clinical features and the extent of disease are risk factors for surgical intervention. Our study indicates that smoking, Chron’s disease, perianal disease, granulomas, higher severity scores, higher stool Calprotectin level, CRP, and ESR were associated with higher risks of surgical intervention. In addition, smoking, peri-anal disease, CDAI, Mayo score, Stool Calprotectin level, and CRP level were predictors of surgical treatment. The findings of our analysis have implications for practice, particularly in the promotion of preoperative individualized risk prediction. The ability to predict which patients will need surgery and target more intensive, early treatment to that group would be invaluable. Further research through large prospective cohort studies is needed to confirm our findings and conclusions.

Abstract Background Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a class of chronic immune-mediated diseases. Biologics have revolutionized the treatment of IBD. Existing literature suggests significant variation exists in the use of biologic treatment among physicians, from provider-specific prescribing to completion of the pre-biologic workup. These differences may influence the effectiveness of achieving and maintaining long-term remission. Clinical care pathways may serve to standardize the use of biologics in the treatment of IBD leading to improvements in patient outcomes and consistency of care provided from different specialists. Aims To determine if the use of biologics to treat IBD managed within a standardized biologic care pathway (BCP) is safer and more effective compared to the current standard of care. Methods This was a retrospective, real-world cohort study of a prospectively implemented evidence-based BCP at the Nova Scotia Collaborative IBD (NSCIBD) program between 2015 and 2019. Patient inclusion criteria consisted of any adult with a diagnosis of IBD (including Crohn’s Disease, ulcerative colitis, IBD-Unclassified) aged 18 years or older who was managed within the NSCIBD program. Preliminary descriptive analyses of the data are presented. Data collection is ongoing and multivariate analyses will be presented in full at CDDW. Results In total 249 patients were included in the cohort study (111 BCP patients, 138 non-BCP patients). The mean age was 49 years (range of 17–86 years). Sixty-nine percent (171/249) of patients were diagnosed with CD, 28% (70/249) with UC, and 3% (8/249) with IBD-U. The mean duration of disease was 13 years (range of 0–36 years). Use of combination therapy was similar between the cohorts with 64% of BCP patients (n=102) and 63% of non-BCP patients (n=123) on combination therapy. Thirty-eight percent of the BCP cohort required dosing interval changes vs. 29% in the non-BCP cohort (0.24 fold higher in BCP cohort). Seventy-one percent of the BCP patients were exposed to TDM vs. 41% of the non-BCP cohort (0.40-fold more TDM in pathway cohort). Although 34% of BCP patients and 38% of non-BCP cohort patients reached clinical remission (n=103 and 125, respectively), 38% of BCP patients and 21% of non-BCP patients achieved endoscopic remission (0.5-fold lower in the non-BCP cohort), (n=29 and 53, respectively). Conclusions Preliminary analyses suggest patients managed within a BCP have their biologic management guided more often by the results of TDM and objective biomarkers than those not managed within a BCP. Although clinical remission was observed to be similar between the cohorts, attainment of endoscopic remission was more likely amongst patients managed within the BCP. Additional multivariate analyses will be presented at CDDW with a larger cohort size. Funding Agencies None

Rationale: Extraintestinal manifestations (EIM) of an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are a sign of its more severe course. Joint lesions are most common among IBD EIM.Aim: To evaluate the prevalence and types of joint lesions in the population of IBD patients of the Moscow region.Materials and methods: We performed a  retrospective analysis of medical files of the patients who were admitted to the Moscow Region Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center (MONIKI) for examination and treatment from August 1, 2019, to March 1, 2020. The study included 70 patients with confirmed diagnoses of IBD and confirmed or suspected involvement of the joints.Results: Thirty six of 70 patients with IBD and EIM (51.43%) had been diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD), and 34 (48.57%) with ulcerative colitis (UC). The CD group included more men (n=21, 58.33%), whereas their proportion in the UC group was 47.02% (n=16). The mean age at CD diagnosis in the UC and CD groups was comparable: 38.3±13.7  years in men with CD and 40.5±12.8 years in men with UC, 37.7±11.1 years in women with CD and 35.7±14.0 in women with UC. The most prevalent among all IBD patients were X-ray negative peripheral arthralgias. Among joint lesions confirmed by radiological diagnostics, sacroileitis was most prevalent both in all IBD patients (24.3%), as well as in the UC group (17.6%), whereas in the CD patients its frequency was the same as that of ankylosing spondyloarthritis (AS) (30.6% of the cases). AS ranked second in the prevalence of joint lesions in the UC group (8.8%) and all IBD (20%). Psoriatic arthritis was diagnosed only in the CD patients (2 / 36). We describe a clinical case of CD with AS, complicated with psoriatic rash, treated with a  monoclonal antibody to tumor necrosis factor alfa (anti-TNF-α).Conclusion: Peripheral arthropathias were most prevalent among all joint lesions in the group studied. EIM mirror a more aggressive phenotype of the disease and higher glucocorticosteroids requirements. Administration of anti-TNF-α agents allows for the control of both intestinal IBD manifestations and of the joint syndrome. However, drug-associated skin adverse event can occur during treatment with this drug class. In such a case, it is possible to switch the biological therapy to another class of drugs that we have demonstrated with the given clinical example.

Objective. To evaluate the prognostic value of serum levels of infliximab (IFX) and anti-IFX antibodies for predicting treatment efficacy in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Patients and methods. This study included 123 children with IBD (65 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 58 patients with Crohn's disease (CD)) aged between 3 and 18 years. Children were examined upon the completion of an induction course of therapy and then after 1 year of therapy and between 1 and 3 years of treatment. The induction course was administered according to the scheme of 0–2–6 weeks; maintenance therapy was administered with 6-week and 8-week intervals. The residual level of IFX and the level of anti-IFX antibodies in serum were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results. We observed a significant increase in the IFX level during clinical remission of CD (remission – 5.21 [3.32; 7.43] μg/mL; exacerbation – 2.42 [0.42; 4.51] μg/mL, p = 0.001) and UC (remission – 4.57 [3.4; 6.74] μg/mL; exacerbation – 0.63 [0.4; 3.27] μg/mL, p = 0.000). ROC analysis demonstrated high accuracy of our model based on measuring residual IFX level for distinguishing between exacerbation and remission in both CD patients (AUC = 0.812) and UC patients (AUC = 0.851). The optimal minimum level of IFX for maintaining clinical remission was 3.7 μg/mL in children with CD and 3.4 μg/mL in children with UC. Anti-IFX antibodies were detected in 18% of patients; children with exacerbation were 4.7 times more likely to have detectable level of anti-IFX antibodies than those in clinical remission. Conclusion. Monitoring of serum levels of IFX and anti-IFX antibodies is a promising method for predicting treatment efficacy and its optimization in children with IBD.
