This study assessed whether baseline triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells [TREM-1] whole blood gene expression predicts response to anti-tumour necrosis factor [anti-TNF] therapy in patients with ulcerative colitis [UC] or Crohn's disease [CD].
TREM-1 whole blood gene expression was analysed by RNA sequencing in patients with moderately to severely active UC or CD treated with adalimumab in the Phase 3 SERENE-UC and SERENE-CD clinical trials. The predictive value of baseline TREM-1 expression was evaluated and compared according to endoscopic and clinical response vs non-response, and remission vs non-remission, at Weeks 8 and 52 [SERENE-UC], and Weeks 12 and 56 [SERENE-CD].
TREM-1 expression was analysed in 95 and 106 patients with UC and CD, respectively, receiving standard-dose adalimumab induction treatment. In SERENE-UC, baseline TREM-1 expression was not predictive of endoscopic response [p = 0.48], endoscopic remission [p = 0.53], clinical response [p = 0.58], or clinical remission [p = 0.79] at Week 8, or clinical response [p = 0.60] at Week 52. However, an association was observed with endoscopic response [p = 0.01], endoscopic remission [p = 0.048], and clinical remission [p = 0.04997] at Week 52. For SERENE-CD, baseline TREM-1 expression was not predictive of endoscopic response [p = 0.56], endoscopic remission [p = 0.33], clinical response [p = 0.07], or clinical remission [p = 0.65] at Week 12, or endoscopic response [p = 0.61], endoscopic remission [p = 0.51], clinical response [p = 0.62], or clinical remission [p = 0.97] at Week 56.
Baseline TREM-1 gene expression did not uniformly predict adalimumab response in SERENE clinical trials. Further research is needed to identify potential blood-based biomarkers predictive of response to anti-TNF therapy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

本研究评估了髓系细胞上表达的触发受体-1(TREM-1)全血基因表达是否能预测溃疡性结肠炎(UC)或克罗恩病(CD)患者对抗肿瘤坏死因子(抗TNF)治疗的反应。
在3期SERENE-UC和SERENE-CD临床试验中,对接受阿达木单抗治疗的中度至重度活动性UC或CD患者,通过RNA测序分析TREM-1全血基因表达。在第8周和第52周(SERENE-UC)以及第12周和第56周(SERENE-CD),根据内镜和临床反应与无反应、缓解与未缓解情况,评估并比较基线TREM-1表达的预测价值。
分别对95例UC患者和106例CD患者进行了分析,这些患者均接受标准剂量阿达木单抗诱导治疗。在SERENE-UC中,基线TREM-1表达在第8周时不能预测内镜反应(p = 0.48)、内镜缓解(p = 0.53)、临床反应(p = 0.58)或临床缓解(p = 0.79),在第52周时也不能预测临床反应(p = 0.60)。然而,在第52周时观察到与内镜反应(p = 0.01)、内镜缓解(p = 0.048)和临床缓解(p = 0.04997)存在关联。对于SERENE-CD,基线TREM-1表达在第12周时不能预测内镜反应(p = 0.56)、内镜缓解(p = 0.33)、临床反应(p = 0.07)或临床缓解(p = 0.65),在第56周时也不能预测内镜反应(p = 0.61)、内镜缓解(p = 0.51)、临床反应(p = 0.62)或临床缓解(p = 0.97)。
在SERENE临床试验中,基线TREM-1基因表达并不能一致地预测阿达木单抗反应。需要进一步研究以确定预测炎症性肠病患者对抗TNF治疗反应的潜在血液生物标志物。
