Adalimumab and Infliximab Impair SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Responses: Results from a Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Study in 11 422 Biologic-Treated Patients

Neil Chanchlani et al.

Summary: Anti-TNF treatment is associated with lower seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibodies and antibody reactivity compared to vedolizumab-treated patients. Higher seropositivity rates in patients with undetectable anti-TNF levels suggest a causal relationship, though other factors like combination therapy with immunomodulators may have influenced the results.

Summary: Combination therapy and thiopurines may be associated with an increased risk of severe COVID-19, while no significant differences were observed when comparing classes of biologicals. These findings warrant confirmation in large population-based cohorts.

Mohamed Attauabi et al.

Summary: Patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, including IBD, were less susceptible to COVID-19 compared to patients without such diseases, and use of immunosuppressive therapies or disease activity of IBD did not affect the disease course of COVID-19.

Down-Regulation of Colonic ACE2 Expression in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Responding to Anti-TNF Therapy: Implications for COVID-19

Xiao-Zhi Li et al.

Summary: In patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the expression of intestinal ACE2 is influenced by intestinal inflammation, with different alterations in the ileum and colon. Colonic ACE2 expression is downregulated after anti-TNF alpha therapy in patients responding to treatment, and patients with severe histologically active disease have significantly higher ACE2 expression compared to those with moderate and mild histologically active disease.

Summary: While individuals with IBD were more likely to be admitted to hospital for COVID-19 than the general population, the risk of severe COVID-19 was not higher.

Summary: In a nationwide cohort of patients with IBD, vedolizumab and corticosteroids were associated with an increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Except for corticosteroids, no medications including mesalazine were associated with an increased risk of severe COVID-19.

Infliximab is associated with attenuated immunogenicity to BNT162b2 and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in patients with IBD

Nicholas A. Kennedy et al.

Summary: Infliximab treatment in patients with inflammatory bowel disease results in attenuated serological responses to a single dose of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Delayed second dosing should be avoided in these patients, as vaccination after SARS-CoV-2 infection or a second dose leads to seroconversion in most individuals.
