Journal: Mechanisms and management of loss of response to anti-TNF therapy for patients with Crohn's disease: 3-year data from the prospective, multicentre PANTS cohort study. (Pubmed Central) - May 11, 2024 P=N/A Low drug concentrations at the end of the induction period predict loss of response by year 3 of treatment, suggesting higher drug concentrations during the first year of treatment, particularly during induction, might lead to better long-term outcomes. Anti-drug antibodies associated with undetectable drug concentrations of infliximab, but not adalimumab, can be predicted by carriage of HLA-DQA1*05 and mitigated by concomitant immunomodulator use for both drugs.

(Pubmed Central) - May 11, 2024 This is the first real-life study to report long-term outcomes in patients with refractory CD treated with risankizumab. Half of the patients achieved steroid-free clinical remission after one year, and the safety profile was consistent with the literature.

Perception of Pediatric Gastrointestinal Specialists on Anti -tumor Necrosis Factor Therapy in Patients with Pediatric Crohn's Disease (Studio 8-9 (6F)) - May 10, 2024 - Abstract #IMKASID2024IMKASID_344; Regarding the selection between infliximab and adalimumab, the main factors affecting decisions were disease severity of the patient (40.5%), preference of the patient (23.8%), quick resolution of clinical symptoms and laboratory results (21.4%), and injection route and intervals of the drugs (14.3%)...Conclusion : The majority of pediatric GI specialists considered an upfront or accelerated step-up approach as the appropriate treatment strategy for pediatric CD. The Korean national insurance policy should be able to support the perception of Korean pediatric GI specialists

Risankizumab versus Ustekinumab for Patients with Moderate to Severe Crohn's Disease: Results from the Phase 3b SEQUENCE Study (Studio 8-9 (6F)) - May 10, 2024 - Abstract #IMKASID2024IMKASID_262; Conclusion : In pts with moderate to severe CD who failed anti-TNF therapy, RZB demonstrated non-inferiority to UST in achieving wk24 clinical remission, superiority in achieving wk48 endoscopic remission, and superiority for achieving all secondary endpoints. The safety profiles of RZB and UST were consistent with previously published results.

Chronic continuous type and previous anti-TNF and VDZ exposure negatively contributed to short-term effectiveness, whereas short-term effectiveness provided good persistency. This meta-analysis highlights the superior persistence of ustekinumab and vedolizumab over TNFi, and offers valuable insights for clinicians navigating the challenging landscape of UC and CD therapeutic choices.

Through experimental studies, the relationship between microbes and metabolites was further confirmed, and the impact of these two types of microbes on the enterocytes and the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-18 (IL-18) was explored. In summary, multi-omics exploration elucidated the impact of TNFi on the gut microbiota and metabolites and proposed a novel therapeutic perspective: supplementation of compounds to inhibit potential pathogenic bacteria and to promote potential probiotics, therefore controlling inflammation in AS.

(Pubmed Central) - May 2, 2024 Providers should consider safety, tolerability, cost, and comorbidities when deciding between these therapies. Across ASAS outcomes, bimekizumab was comparable with most b/tsDMARDs, including ixekizumab, TNF inhibitors and upadacitinib, and achieved higher response rates vs secukinumab for some ASAS outcomes in predominantly b/tsDMARD-na

(Pubmed Central) - May 2, 2024 Conventional therapeutic drugs, especially glucocorticoids, LMWHs, and hydroxychloroquine were the most widely used drugs in pregnant patients with rheumatic diseases. However, IVIG and TNFi, relatively high cost, have shown gradual increases in clinical use since 2019.
