The efficacy of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is often compromised by the development of antidrug antibodies. In this setting, the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQA1*05 allele has been significantly associated with the formation of antidrug antibodies to anti-TNF agents, loss of response, and treatment discontinuation.
We aimed to determine whether HLA-DQA1*05 genotyping is associated with clinically meaningful outcomes in patients with IBD.
A single-center, prospective study was conducted on patients with IBD who were naïve to biological treatment and were initiating therapy with anti-TNF agents, vedolizumab, or ustekinumab.
All patients were genotyped for HLA-DQA105. The primary endpoint was the achievement of a composite outcome encompassing clinical, biochemical, and endoscopic remission at week 54, stratified by HLA-DQA105 status. The secondary endpoints included the evaluation of therapeutic persistence and the development of antidrug antibodies.
One hundred biologic-naïve patients with IBD initiating biological therapy were included in the study (72 on anti-TNF, 18 on vedolizumab, and 10 on ustekinumab); of these, 43% were HLA-DQA105 positive. The presence of the HLA-DQA105 allele was not associated with worse clinical outcomes, defined as the composite of clinical, biochemical, and endoscopic remission at week 54, in patients treated with anti-TNF agents, vedolizumab, or ustekinumab. In addition, no significant correlation was observed between the HLA-DQA1*05 genotype and reduced therapy persistence or increased immunogenicity.
In our cohort of patients with IBD, the HLA-DQA1*05 genotype was not associated with a higher risk of treatment cessation or worse clinical outcomes.

抗肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)疗法在炎症性肠病(IBD)中的疗效常常因抗药抗体的产生而受到影响。在这种情况下,人类白细胞抗原(HLA)-DQA1*05等位基因与抗TNF药物抗药抗体的形成、反应丧失及治疗中断显著相关。
我们旨在确定HLA-DQA1*05基因分型是否与IBD患者具有临床意义的结局相关。
对初治生物治疗且开始使用抗TNF药物、维多珠单抗或乌司奴单抗治疗的IBD患者进行了一项单中心前瞻性研究。
对所有患者进行HLA-DQA105基因分型。主要终点是在第54周实现包括临床、生化和内镜缓解的综合结局,并按HLA-DQA105状态分层。次要终点包括治疗持续性评估和抗药抗体的产生。
100例初治生物治疗的IBD患者纳入研究(72例使用抗TNF药物,18例使用维多珠单抗,10例使用乌司奴单抗);其中43%为HLA-DQA105阳性。在接受抗TNF药物、维多珠单抗或乌司奴单抗治疗的患者中,HLA-DQA105等位基因的存在与第54周临床、生化和内镜缓解综合定义的较差临床结局无关。此外,未观察到HLA-DQA1*05基因型与治疗持续性降低或免疫原性增加之间存在显著相关性。
在我们的IBD患者队列中,HLA-DQA1*05基因型与治疗中断风险较高或临床结局较差无关。
