The prevention of postoperative recurrence is a critical issue in surgery for Crohn's disease. Prospective randomized trials in Western countries have shown that the postoperative use of anti-tumor necrosis factor α-antibodies was effective in reducing the recurrence rate. We investigated the efficacy of infliximab (IFX) for the prevention of postoperative Crohn's disease recurrence.
We performed a prospective randomized multicenter study. Patients who underwent intestinal resection were assigned to groups treated with or without IFX. Immediately after surgery, patients in the IFX group received IFX at 5 mg/kg at 0, 2, and 6 weeks, followed by every 8 weeks for 2 years. The primary study outcome was the proportion of patients with endoscopic and/or clinical recurrence at 2 years after surgery.
Thirty-eight eligible patients participated in this study: 19 in the IFX group and 19 in the non-IFX group. The disease recurrence rate in the IFX group was 52.6% (10/19), which was significantly lower than that in the non-IFX group (94.7% [18/19]).
The postoperative use of IFX is effective in preventing Crohn's disease recurrence for 2 years.
预防术后复发是克罗恩病手术中的关键问题。西方国家的前瞻性随机试验表明,术后使用抗肿瘤坏死因子α抗体可有效降低复发率。我们研究了英夫利昔单抗(IFX)预防克罗恩病术后复发的疗效。
我们进行了一项前瞻性随机多中心研究。接受肠道切除术的患者被分为接受或不接受IFX治疗的组。术后立即,IFX组患者在第0、2和6周接受5mg/kg的IFX治疗,随后每8周一次,持续2年。主要研究结果是术后2年出现内镜和/或临床复发的患者比例。
38名符合条件的患者参与了本研究:IFX组19名,非IFX组19名。IFX组的疾病复发率为52.6%(10/19),显著低于非IFX组(94.7%[18/19])。
术后使用IFX可有效预防克罗恩病复发2年。
