BACKGROUND: STARDUST, a phase 3b randomised trial, compared ustekinumab therapeutic strategies in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) using early endoscopic assessment and treat-to-target (T2T) versus standard of care (SoC). AIM: To assess the efficacy of ustekinumab extended treatment in a long-term extension (LTE) of up to 104 weeks with dosing adapted according to clinical, biomarker and endoscopy outcomes. METHODS: Adults with moderately-to-severely active CD received intravenous ustekinumab approximating 6 mg/kg at Week 0 and subcutaneous ustekinumab 90 mg at Week 8. At Week 16, 440 ≥70-point responders were randomised to T2T or SoC and 323 entered the LTE. At Week 48, a unified, protocol-defined ustekinumab dose frequency escalation/de-escalation was applied based on achieving endoscopic remission and corticosteroid-free clinical remission. Achieving corticosteroid-free clinical remission and biomarker remission at consecutive visits determined ustekinumab dosing frequency. Dichotomous variables were analysed using non-responder imputation. RESULTS: Among patients who entered the LTE, 7.7%, 48.6% and 43.7% received doses every 4, 8 and 12 weeks, respectively. Ustekinumab dose frequency was escalated in 23.5% and de-escalated in 19.7%. Endoscopic response and remission rates were 28.9% and 10.73% (all randomised) and 39.3% and 14.6% (patients entering the LTE), respectively, at Week 104. Clinical remissiona rates at week 104 were 50.2% (all randomised) and 68.4% (patients entering the LTE). There were no new safety signals. CONCLUSION: STARDUST LTE is the first interventional ustekinumab efficacy study to show a favourable benefit-risk profile with preservation of clinical and endoscopic outcomes through Week 104 using flexible, algorithm-driven dose adjustment including de-escalation.

Inhibitory Janusovy kinázy byly zavedeny do terapeutického armamentária idiopatických střevních zánětů v roce 2018. Prvním lékem byl tofacitinib a v posledních dvou letech byl dále schválen filgotinib (preferenční inhibitor JAK1) a upadacitinib (selektivní inhibitor JAK1). Inhibitory JAK se využívají především u nemocných s ulcerózní kolitidou, u které představují účinnou 2. linii léčby po selhání alespoň jednoho biologika. Tofacitinib a upadacitinib se uplatňují také jako záchranná terapie u nemocných s ulcerózní kolitidou, u nichž selhalo intravenózní podávání kortikosteroidů. Výjimečné postavení má upadacitinib, neboť jako jediný ze skupiny inhibitorů JAK má také uplatnění u Crohnovy choroby
JAKs inhibitors have been introduced into therapeutic armamentarium of inflammatory bowel disease in 2018. The first molecule was tofacitinib and in the last two years filgotinib (preferential JAK1 inhibitor) and upadacitinib (selective JAK1 inhibitor) were also introduced. JAKs inhibitors are used in ulcerative colitis patients especially in those who failed in one biological therapy. Tofacitinib and upadacitinib are effective as a rescue therapy in patients with acute severe ulcerative colitis, which failed on intravenously applied corticosteroids. Upadacitinib has an extraordinary position because it was also approved for medicamentous therapy in Crohn’s disease patients.
PURPOSE: Immunogenicity is a major reason for secondary loss of response to infliximab (IFX). Recent work suggested potentially lower immunogenicity of subcutaneous (SC) compared to intravenous (IV) IFX. However, it is unknown whether re-exposure to IFX SC after secondary loss of response and immunogenicity to its intravenous formulation is safe and effective. METHODS: In a retrospective cohort study conducted at two medical centers, patients with clinically (Harvey-Bradshaw Index ≥ 5) and/or biochemically (fecal calprotectin > 250 μg/g) active Crohn's disease (CD) and previous immunogenic failure of IFX IV underwent exposure to IFX SC. Harvey-Bradshaw Index, fecal calprotectin, IFX serum concentration, and anti-drug antibodies were assessed until month 12. RESULTS: Twenty CD patients were included. The majority of patients (90%) had previous treatment with three or more biologics. Fifteen (75%) and ten (50%) of 20 patients continued IFX SC treatment until months 6 and 12, respectively. No immediate hypersensitivity reactions were observed. Two patients discontinued IFX SC treatment because of delayed hypersensitivity at week 2 and week 4. IFX serum concentrations increased from baseline to month 12, while anti-drug antibody levels decreased. Combined clinical and biochemical remission at month 12 was observed in seven of 20 patients (35%). CONCLUSION: Subcutaneous infliximab treatment of Crohn's disease patients with previous immunogenic failure of intravenous infliximab was well tolerated and effective in a cohort of patients with refractory Crohn's disease.

Evidence on serological responses to vaccination in children exposed to ustekinumab (UST) or vedolizumab (VDZ) in utero is lacking. This multicentre prospective study aimed to assess the impact of prenatal exposure to UST or VDZ due to maternal inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on serological responses to vaccination and other immunological parameters in exposed children. Children aged ≥ 1 year who were exposed in utero to UST or VDZ and completed at least 1-year of mandatory vaccination were included. We assessed the serological response to vaccination (non-live: tetanus, diphtheria, and Haemophilus influenzae B; live: mumps, rubella, and measles), whole blood count, and immunoglobulin levels. The control group comprised unexposed children born to mothers without IBD. A total of 23 children (median age, 25 months) exposed to UST (n = 13) or VDZ (n = 10) and 10 controls (median age, 37 months) were included. The serological response to vaccination was comparable between the UST and VDZ groups and controls, with an adequate serological response rate of ≥ 80%. Only children exposed to UST showed a slightly reduced serological response to mumps (67% vs. 86% in controls), whereas all children exposed to VDZ showed an adequate response. The majority of the exposed children had normal levels of individual immunoglobulin classes, similar to the controls. No severe pathology was observed in any of the children.Conclusion: Despite the limited sample size, our findings suggest that in utero exposure to VDZ or UST does not significantly impair the vaccine response or broader immunological parameters in exposed children.
