Withdrawal of infliximab or concomitant immunosuppressant therapy in patients with Crohn's disease on combination therapy (SPARE): a multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial

Edouard Louis et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the relapse rate and time in remission over 2 years between patients continuing combination therapy, stopping infliximab, or stopping immunosuppressant therapy for Crohn's disease. The results showed that stopping infliximab had a higher relapse rate compared to stopping immunosuppressant therapy, suggesting that stopping immunosuppressant therapy may be a preferable strategy for treatment de-escalation.

Systematic Review and Meta-analysis: Loss of Response and Need for Dose Escalation of Infliximab and Adalimumab in Ulcerative Colitis

Edo H. J. Savelkoul et al.

Summary: Loss of response to infliximab or adalimumab in ulcerative colitis occurs frequently, with an annual rate of 10% for infliximab and 13% for adalimumab. Dose escalation rates were higher than loss of response, with 72% and 52% regaining clinical benefit for infliximab and adalimumab, respectively. Uniform definitions are needed for more robust evaluations.

Safety and Durability of Accelerated Infliximab Dosing Strategies in Pediatric IBD: A Single Center, Retrospective Study

Meghan Gibson et al.

Summary: Objective: To assess the long-term safety and durability of Infliximab (IFX) treatment in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Results: Only 12% of patients discontinued IFX treatment and the majority of adverse events (AEs) were mild and did not result in cessation of therapy. Higher dose and serum trough level of IFX were associated with a higher risk of AEs. Conclusions: IFX has excellent treatment durability in pediatric IBD with low AEs rate and can be safely used for long-term treatment.

Risk Factors of Cancer in Pediatric-Onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Denmark and Finland

Mikkel Malham et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the impact of medical treatment and disease activity on the risk of developing disease-associated cancer (DAC) and treatment-associated cancer (TAC) in pediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease (pIBD) patients. The findings showed that patients treated with thiopurines had an increased risk of TAC.

Konstantinos Papamichael et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a proactive therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) combined with pharmacokinetic (PK) dashboard-driven infliximab dosing compared with standard care in Crohn's disease (CD) patients. The primary outcome is the sustained clinical remission without rescue therapy from week 14 to week 52.

The Medical Management of Paediatric Crohn's Disease: an ECCO-ESPGHAN Guideline Update

Patrick F. van Rheenen et al.

Summary: This study emphasizes the importance of early assessment of high-risk patients with Crohn's disease to reduce intestinal damage, and recommends upfront anti-TNF agents in combination with an immunomodulator for patients with perianal disease, stricturing or penetrating behavior, or severe growth retardation. Therapeutic drug monitoring is preferred over empirically escalating anti-TNF dose or switching therapies. For low-risk luminal CD patients, induction with exclusive enteral nutrition or corticosteroids, and maintenance therapy with immunomodulators are recommended.

Summary: STRIDE-II presents treatment targets for both adult and pediatric IBD, including long-term and short-term goals. These targets cover aspects such as clinical response, endoscopic healing, quality of life, and growth, providing guidance for improving patient outcomes.

Validating the positivity thresholds of drug-tolerant anti-infliximab and anti-adalimumab antibody assays

Rachel Nice et al.

Summary: This study validates the positivity thresholds for drug-tolerant anti-infliximab and -adalimumab antibody assays, and finds that low-concentration anti-drug antibodies were associated with lower drug levels and treatment failure, particularly for adalimumab. It highlights the importance of deriving antibody positivity thresholds for accurate detection and treatment outcomes.
