Study Summary

A substantial fraction of IBD patients with an initial response to infliximab or adalimumab later experience re-emerging active disease despite ongoing anti-Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF) agents maintenance therapy. The optimal intervention in patients with secondary loss-of-response (LOR) is still poorly defined, as there are still scant data on how best to choose the next intervention from among dose-intensification, switch to another anti-TNF or switch out of the anti-TNF class. Moreover, according to STRIDE 2 recommendations and CALM study, optimize patients based solely on lack of biological remission (CRP, calprotectin) can be discuss. If CALM study has showed that the intervention arm based on regular monitoring fecal calprotectin, CRP and/or CDAI to optimize patients under adalimumab was significantly associated to an increase rate of mucosal healing that the standard of care strategy based on only clinical activity, TDM was not available to guide drug optimization strategy.

Study Description

To address these issues, for IFX or ADA therapy, several studies have proposed some algorithms according to which interventions are based on a combined assessment of IFX or ADA drug level and antibodies-to-IFX or ADA (ATI or AAA) levels at the time of therapeutic failure. Thus, IFX or ADA levels, classified as therapeutic or sub-therapeutic, and detectable or undetectable antibodies, are used to assess if LOR is likely due to immunogenicity, to non-immune-mediated pharmacokinetic problems or due to pharmacodynamic issues, and to guide interventions accordingly.

In the last AGA recommendations, the authors suggested that in case of secondary LOR under anti TNF drug with therapeutic levels to switch to another class (such as vedolizumab). However, recent studies showed that optimization of dose regimen of the same anti-TNF in these patients may still be associated with clinical response in 25% of patients. Indeed, in a recent bicentric, retrospective and non-randomized study, the investigators showed that IBD patients under ADA maintenance therapy who experience a secondary loss of response and in whom trough levels are >4.9µg/mL, swapping to another class was significantly better than optimizing ADA, in term of time without discontinuation of treatment.
