The best noninvasive method predicting clinical relapse remains undetermined in infliximab (IFX)-treated patients with Crohn's disease.
All patients with CD on IFX maintenance treatment and in clinical remission for at least 16 weeks, between 2011 and 2014, were enrolled in a prospective single-center study. The Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI), fecal calprotectin, C-reactive protein levels, antibodies (ATI), and trough level (TLI) of IFX were measured at every IFX infusion. The best thresholds of TLI (2 versus 3 μg/mL) and calprotectin (50 versus 250 μg/g stools) were identified across four logistic regression models.
One hundred nineteen patients (mean age: 34 ± 12 yrs, mean disease duration: 7.8 yrs) were included. Mean follow-up was 20.4 months, and 17% of the patients were on IFX and azathioprine at inclusion. During follow-up, 37 patients (31.1%) relapsed, 78% within the first 6 months. The clinical characteristics of the relapsed and nonrelapsed patients were similar. After logistic regression, fecal calprotectin >250 μg/g stools (OR: 4.09; 95% CI, 1.01-16.21; P = 0.049) and TLI <2 μg/mL (OR: 14.85; 95% CI, 3.67-60; P < 0.0001) were associated with loss of response. A training cohort of 55 patients was isolated randomly to implement prediction rules for loss of response. The best predictive rules were the combination of a TLI <2 μg/mL and a fecal calprotectin level >250 μg/g stools (78.3%). These rules were validated on a test cohort of 64 patients with an accuracy of 87%, (sensitivity = 0.94, specificity = 0.84, positive predictive value = 0.73, and negative predictive value = 0.97).
In IFX-treated patients with CD in clinical remission, a combination of TLI (<2 μg/mL) and fecal calprotectin (>250 μg/g of stools) is a good model for predicting loss of response. In contrast with previous data, low TLIs ranging from 2 to 3 μg/mL should neither systematically lead to the optimization of IFX use nor a switch in the treatment.
在接受英夫利昔单抗(IFX)治疗的克罗恩病患者中,预测临床复发的最佳非侵入性方法尚未确定。
2011年至2014年期间,所有接受IFX维持治疗且临床缓解至少16周的克罗恩病患者均纳入一项前瞻性单中心研究。每次输注IFX时均测量克罗恩病活动指数(CDAI)、粪便钙卫蛋白、C反应蛋白水平、抗体(ATI)以及IFX的谷浓度(TLI)。在四个逻辑回归模型中确定了TLI(2 μg/mL与3 μg/mL)和钙卫蛋白(50 μg/g粪便与250 μg/g粪便)的最佳阈值。
纳入119例患者(平均年龄:34±12岁,平均病程:7.8年)。平均随访20.4个月,17%的患者在纳入时同时使用IFX和硫唑嘌呤。随访期间,37例患者(31.1%)复发,78%在最初6个月内复发。复发和未复发患者的临床特征相似。经过逻辑回归分析,粪便钙卫蛋白>250 μg/g粪便(比值比:4.09;95%置信区间,1.01 - 16.21;P = 0.049)和TLI<2 μg/mL(比值比:14.85;95%置信区间,3.67 - 60;P < 0.0001)与反应丧失相关。随机选取55例患者组成训练队列以实施反应丧失的预测规则。最佳预测规则是TLI<2 μg/mL与粪便钙卫蛋白水平>250 μg/g粪便的组合(78.3%)。这些规则在64例患者的测试队列中得到验证,准确率为87%(敏感性 = 0.94,特异性 = 0.84,阳性预测值 = 0.73,阴性预测值 = 0.97)。
在接受IFX治疗且临床缓解的克罗恩病患者中,TLI(<2 μg/mL)和粪便钙卫蛋白(>250 μg/g粪便)的组合是预测反应丧失的良好模型。与先前数据相反,2至3 μg/mL的低TLI既不应系统性地导致IFX使用的优化,也不应导致治疗方案的改变。
