Brief Summary

HLA-DQA1\*05 variant carriers are at risk of developing antibodies against infliximab and adalimumab with reduced TNF antagonist persistence. The impact of proactive therapeutic drug monitoring (PTDM) on this association has been barely assessed. Therefor, we propose a cohort study including adult patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis treated with TNF antagonists under proactive therapeutic drug monitoring. Our hypothesis is that, proactive therapeutic drug monitoring could be an alternative to combination treatment with immunomodulators to increase TNF-antagonists' persistence in HLA-DQA1\*05 carriers.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Corticosteroid-free clinical remission and treatment maintenance at week 54

    Corticosteroid-free clinical remission was defined as Harvey Bradshaw score \<5 for Crohn's disease or partial Mayo score ≤2 for ulcerative colitis with no item exceeding one point, without corticosteroid

    Week 54

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Corticosteroid-free clinical response and remission at week 12.

    week 12

  • Proportions of patients with ultrasound remission at week 12 and 24

    week 12 and 24

  • Proportions of patients with clinical-biochemical remission at week 54.

    week 54

  • Proportions of endoscopic remission at week 54 between both groups.

    week 54

  • Proportions of primary failure between both groups

    week 12

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

HLA-DQA1*05 variant carriers

Drug: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors

HLA-DQA1*05 non-carriers

Drug: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors

Interventions

Proactive drug monitoring was defined as the assessment of trough concentrations to optimize dosing during induction therapy and intermittently thereafter regardless of symptoms or inflammatory markers. During induction, the following target concentrations are employed: 25-30 mcg/ml (week 2) and 20 mcg/ml (week 6) for Infliximab and \> 10 mcg/ml (week 2 and 4) for Adalimumab. Checks are performed systematically at week 2 and 6 (infliximab) and at week 4 (adalimumab). During the maintenance, the targets are 5-10 mcg/ml for Infliximab and 8-12 mcg/ml for Adalimumab. In case of perianal disease, the targets are 7-20 mcg/ml.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients with a diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and indeterminate colitis), who require starting anti-TNF for the first time.

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease according to ECCO criteria.
  • Older than 18 years
  • Subjects naïve to biological treatment
  • Anti-TNF treatment initiation (infliximab or adalimumab) due to intestinal activity and/or perianal disease.
  • Avaibility to evaluate HLA DQA1\*05 status
  • Proactive therapeutic drug monitoring of anti-TNF levels

You may not qualify if:

  • Initiation of anti-TNF treatment as prevention of post-surgical recurrence in Crohn's disease during the first 12 months after surgery or, afterwards, if endoscopic recurrence with a Rutgeerts 0-1.
  • Initiation of anti-TNF treatment under combo treatment with immunomodulator. Prior initiation of immunomodulator or prior use and suspension would not be a contraindication.
  • Initiation of anti-TNF treatment due to extraintestinal activity.
  • Initiation of anti-TNF treatment by a non-gastroenterologist specialist.
  • Initiation of anti-TNF treatment during pregnancy.
