Abstract
The only proven treatment for celiac disease is adherence to a strict, lifelong, gluten-free diet. However, complete dietary gluten avoidance is challenging and a substantial number of patients do not respond fully, clinically, or histologically, despite their best efforts. As celiac disease is common and its central pathophysiology is well elucidated, it has become attractive for drug development to address the limitations of dietary treatment. Most efforts address nonresponsive celiac disease, defined as continued symptoms and/or signs of disease activity despite a gluten-free diet, and the more severe forms of refractory celiac disease, types I and II. An increasing spectrum of therapeutic approaches target defined mechanisms in celiac disease pathogenesis and some have advanced to current phase 2 and 3 clinical studies. We discuss these approaches in terms of potential efficiency, practicability, safety, and need, as defined by patients, regulatory authorities, health care providers, and payors.

Abstract
As it appears that we are currently at the cusp of an era in which drugs that are new, re-purposed, or "supplements" will be introduced to the management of celiac disease, we need to reflect on whether the framework is set for celiac disease to be treated increasingly with pharmaceuticals as well as diet. This refers to reflecting on the rigor of current diagnostic practices; the limitations of the current standard of care, which is a gluten-free diet; and that we lack objective markers of disease severity. Investigating these issues will help us to identify gaps in technology and practices that could be critical for selecting patients with a well-defined need for an improved or alternative treatment. Both aspects, circumscribed limitations of the gluten-free diet and diagnostics helping to define celiac disease target groups, together with the guiding requirements by the responsible regulatory authorities, will contribute to defining the subgroups of patients with confirmed celiac disease eligible for distinct pharmacologic strategies. Because many patients with celiac disease are diagnosed in childhood, these aspects need to be differentially discussed for the pediatric setting. In this perspective, we aimed to describe these contextual issues and then looked ahead to the future. What might be the major challenges in celiac disease clinics in the coming years once drugs are an option alongside diet? And what will be the future objectives for researchers who further decipher the mucosal immunology of celiac disease? Speculating on the answers to these questions is as stimulating as it is fascinating to be part of this turning point.

Abstract
Nonresponsive celiac disease (CeD) is relatively common. It is generally attributed to persistent gluten exposure and resolves after correction of diet errors. However, other complications of CeD and disorders clinically mimicking CeD need to be excluded. Novel therapies are being evaluated to facilitate mucosal recovery, which might benefit patients with nonresponsive CeD. Refractory CeD (RCeD) is rare and is divided into 2 types. The etiology of type I RCeD is unclear. A switch to gluten-independent autoimmunity is suspected in some patients. In contrast, type II RCeD represents a low-grade intraepithelial lymphoma. Type I RCeD remains a diagnosis of exclusion, requiring ruling out gluten intake and other nonmalignant causes of villous atrophy. Diagnosis of type II RCeD relies on the demonstration of a clonal population of neoplastic intraepithelial lymphocytes with an atypical immunophenotype. Type I RCeD and type II RCeD generally respond to open-capsule budesonide, but the latter has a dismal prognosis due to severe malnutrition and frequent progression to enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma; more efficient therapy is needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Non-responsive coeliac disease (NRCD), where symptoms and enteropathy persist despite a prolonged gluten-free diet (GFD), is common. Refractory coeliac disease (RCD), characterised by malabsorption and extensive enteropathy, is rare but serious. In both, treatment options are limited. Topical budesonide may help and an open capsule format promoting proximal small intestinal delivery may be advantageous. AIM To describe the effect of budesonide and its presentation on mucosal healing, symptoms, and tolerability in NRCD and RCD. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of NRCD and RCD patients who received budesonide for enteropathy despite a strict GFD for over 12 months. Primary outcome was improvement in histology. Symptoms and adverse treatment effects were recorded. RESULTS 50 patients with NRCD (n = 14; 86% F), RCD type 1 (n = 30; 60% F), and RCD type 2 (n = 6 based on aberrant duodenal T cells; 33% F) were identified. Common RCD symptoms were diarrhoea (68%), fatigue (40%), and weight loss (34%). 16 received closed capsule budesonide (CCB) 9 mg OD and 35 open capsule budesonide (OCB) 3 mg 3 times a day. Complete and partial mucosal healing was significantly higher after OCB compared to CCB (p < 0.001, Mann-Whitney U test). Symptom improvement was also significantly higher after OCB compared to CCB (p = 0.002, Mann-Whitney U test). Side effects were mild and self-limiting and were reported in 25% of both cohorts. CONCLUSION OCB was well tolerated and associated with improvements in enteropathy (83%) and symptoms (90%) in NRCD and RCD. Our findings support OCB as the preferred 1st-line therapy for NRCD and RCD type 1.

Abstract
Celiac disease (CeD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten, affecting around 1% of the global population. It is a multifactorial disease involving both genetics and environmental factors. Nowadays, the only available treatment for CeD is a life-long gluten-free diet (GFD), which can cause a significant burden for patients, since symptoms and mucosal injury can persist despite apparent compliance with a GFD. This could also lead to psychological consequences and affect the quality of life of these patients. Thankfully, recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis of CeD and the availability of various targets have made it feasible to explore pharmaceutical treatments specific to CeD. Recently, the FDA has highlighted the unmet needs of adult patients on a GFD who experience ongoing symptoms attributed to CeD and also show persistent duodenal villous atrophy. This review will outline the limitations of a GFD, describe the targets of potential novel treatment of CeD and provide an overview of the primary clinical trials involving oral and injectable agents for a non-dietary treatment of CeD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) is a common respiratory tract infectious disease in children. The study aimed to elucidate the therapeutic efficacy of aerosolized budesonide and N-acetylcysteine combination therapy for MP infection in children. METHODS One hundred and twenty children with MP infection were included and divided into the control group (received aerosol inhalation of budesonide) and the experimental group (aerosolized budesonide and N-acetylcysteine). After treatment, the disappearance time of clinical symptoms and efficacy were contrasted between the two groups. RESULTS With the passage of treatment time, the children's cough score of the two groups were gradually reduced. The children in the experimental group got well from the cough faster than the control group, and the difference reached a significant level on the 5th and 7th days. The time required for fever, rale, and cough to disappear in the experimental group was shorter than those in the control group. As the treatment progressed, a gradual decrease in serum interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and C-reactive protein values was detected in both groups, and the decrease was more significant in the experimental group. The total effective rate of the experimental group was 98.33%, which surpassed the control group (93.33%). CONCLUSION Budesonide and N-acetylcysteine combination therapy in the treatment of MP infection in children has a significant effect, and can quickly relieve the clinical symptoms of children with good safety. It is worthy of widespread clinical use.

Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is a common autoimmune disease affecting around 1% of the population. It consists of an immune-mediated enteropathy, triggered by gluten exposure in susceptible patients. All patients with CD, irrespective of the presence of symptoms, must endure a lifelong gluten-free diet (GFD). This is not an easy task due to a lack of awareness of the gluten content in foods and the extensive incorporation of gluten in processed foods. Furthermore, a GFD imposes a sense of limitation and might be associated with decreased quality of life in CD patients. This results in gluten contamination in the diet of four out of five celiac patients adhering to a GFD. Furthermore, one in three adult patients will report persistent symptoms and two in three will not achieve full histological recovery when on a GFD. In recent years, there has been extensive research conducted in the quest to find the holy grail of pharmacological treatment for CD. This review will present a concise description of the current rationale and main clinical trials related to CD drug therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Non-responsive celiac disease (NRCD) is defined as patients having persistent symptoms and enteropathy (Marsh 3 histology) suggestive of active celiac disease (CeD), after following a gluten-free diet (GFD) for at least 12 months. NRCD is suggested to affect 15% of children with CeD but data are limited and there is no research to date describing treatment of children with this condition. The aim of this study was to describe our center's approach to identifying and treating NRCD with budesonide and the Gluten Containing Elimination Diet (GCED). METHODS We performed a retrospective, single center analysis over a 5-year period of patients with CD less than 18 years of age (inclusive) who underwent treatment for persistent symptoms and enteropathy despite following a GFD. RESULTS We identified 22 patients with NRCD. Thirteen were treated with the GCED for 3 months with 46% achieving both histological and symptomatic resolution. Nine patients were treated with budesonide (6-9 mg), with 89% achieving both symptomatic and histologic resolution after a median 3-month treatment course. Further, 67% of patients who responded to the GCED and 100% of patients who responded to budesonide remained in remission for at least 6 months following treatment transition back to exclusive GFD. CONCLUSIONS The GCED and budesonide can provide benefit for NRCD. Most patients with NRCD can return to a GFD after 3 months of treatment.

Abstract
Coeliac disease is a lifelong immune-mediated enteropathy with systemic features associated with increased morbidity and modestly increased mortality. Treatment with a strict gluten-free diet improves symptoms and mucosal damage but is not curative and low-level gluten intake is common despite strict attempts at adherence. Regular follow-up after diagnosis is considered best-practice however this is executed poorly in the community with the problem compounded by the paucity of data informing optimal approaches. The aim of dietary treatment is to resolve symptoms, reduce complication risk and improve quality of life. It follows that the goals of monitoring are to assess dietary adherence, monitor disease activity, assess symptoms and screen for complications. Mucosal disease remission is regarded a key measure of treatment success as healing is associated with positive health outcomes. However, persistent villous atrophy is common, even after many years of a gluten-free diet. As the clinical significance of asymptomatic enteropathy is uncertain the role for routine follow-up biopsies remains contentious. Symptomatic non-responsive coeliac disease is common and with systematic follow-up a cause is usually found. Effective models of care involving the gastroenterologist, dietitian and primary care doctor will improve the consistency of long-term management and likely translate into better patient outcomes. Identifying suitable treatment targets linked to long-term health is an important goal.

Abstract
Refractory celiac disease (RCD) refers to a rare subgroup of patients with celiac disease who show clinical signs of malabsorption despite a gluten-free diet. RCD is divided into an autoimmune phenotype (RCD type I) and pre-lymphoma (RCD type II). To reflect the clinical reality in managing this disease in Germany, a national register was established based on a questionnaire developed specifically for this purpose. Between 2014 and 2020, a total of 53 patients were registered. The diagnosis of RCD was confirmed in 46 cases (87%). This included 27 patients (59%) with RCD type I and 19 patients (41%) with RCD type II. A wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic measures was used. Therapeutically, budesonide was used in 59% of the RCD patients regardless of the subtype. Nutritional therapy was used in only 5 patients (11%). Overall mortality was 26% (12 patients) with a clear dominance in patients with RCD type II (9 patients, 47%). In summary, RCD needs to become a focus of national guidelines to increase awareness, establish standards, and thus enable the treating physician to make the correct diagnosis in a timely manner. Moreover, we concluded that when treating such patients, contacting a specialized center is recommended to ensure sufficient management.

Abstract
Refractory celiac disease is an uncommon condition which might be associated to poor prognosis. It is often treated with immunosuppressive medications, with poor results. It is divided in type 1 and type 2, the latter carrying a high risk for lymphoma and mortality. A case of a 41 year old female patient with refractory celiac disease type 2 is reported. She was treated with oral budesonide for six months, achieving histological remission.

Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2021; 54:419-428. [PMID: 34181750 DOI: 10.1111/apt.16446] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2021] [Revised: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The healing of the mucosal lesion in patients with coeliac disease is slow. AIM To determine whether concurrent budesonide and gluten-free diet hasten small bowel healing and symptomatic improvement in patients with newly diagnosed coeliac disease. METHODS In a pilot, randomised, double-blind trial, effects on Marsh grading and quantitative duodenal morphometry of 10 weeks' effervescent budesonide (initially 9 mg/day) or placebo were assessed after 8 and 52 weeks. Multiple clinical measures and adverse events were assessed. RESULTS Nineteen patients were randomised to budesonide and 18 to placebo. No differences (all P > 0.32) were observed for the week-8 mucosal response (Marsh 0 or 1) (budesonide: 37% vs placebo: 28%), week-8 remission (Marsh 0) (32% vs 17%), week-52 response (63% vs 44%) and week-52 remission (42% vs 33%). Likewise, the improvement from baseline in villous-height : crypt-depth ratio was not different for the treatment groups. There were no statistically significant differences in clinical measures or adverse events between the treatment groups. No corticosteroid adverse effects were observed. In a post hoc analysis of all patients, Marsh 3C was present at the diagnostic biopsy in 1/9 achieving mucosal remission at 8 weeks versus 18/23 not (P < 0.001) and mean villous-height : crypt-depth ratio was 1.06 (SD: 0.73) versus 0.46 (0.38) (P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS In this pilot trial, induction therapy with budesonide had no significant effect on mucosal healing in patients with coeliac disease concurrently initiated on a gluten-free diet. Mucosal remission at 8 weeks occurred in approximately one in four patients and was associated with less severe histological lesions at diagnosis.
