Abstract
Lay Summary
This retrospective study assessed the use of Janus kinase inhibitors in treating chronic pouchitis. While showing relative safety, Janus kinase inhibitors demonstrated effectiveness in <50% of cases, cautioning against their use as first-line agents. Larger randomized trials are recommended for further investigation.

Treatment of Antibiotic Refractory Chronic Pouchitis With JAK Inhibitors and S1P Receptor Modulators: An ECCO CONFER Multicentre Case Series. J Crohns Colitis 2024; 18:720-726.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Data regarding the effectiveness and safety of Janus kinase [JAK] inhibitors and sphingosine-1-phosphate [S1P] receptor modulators in antibiotic refractory chronic pouchitis [CARP] are lacking. METHODS This ECCO-CONFER project retrospectively collected data for JAK inhibitor or S1P receptor modulator treatments for CARP with at least 3 months of follow-up. The outcomes included corticosteroid- and antibiotic-free clinical response and remission at 3 and 12 months, and trends in modified pouchitis disease activity index [mPDAI], endoscopic PDAI, C-reactive protein, and calprotectin. RESULTS Seventeen treatments in 15 patients were evaluated. Previous pouchitis treatments included infliximab [5/15], adalimumab [4/15], vedolizumab [9/15], and ustekinumab [5/15]. Pooling data on JAK inhibitors [eight tofacitinib, one filgotinib, and six upadacitinib] after 3 months [T3], steroid- and antibiotic-free clinical response was achieved in 53.3% [8/15], and steroid- and antibiotic-free clinical remission was achieved in 40% [6/15]. Of the patients with at least 12 months of follow-up, steroid- and antibiotic-free clinical response was achieved in 50% [3/6] and remission in one patient [16.7%], endoscopic response in 50% [3/6], and endoscopic remission in 50% [3/6]. Of the two ozanimod treatments at T3, steroid- and antibiotic-free clinical response was achieved in one patient, without remission; both discontinued ozanimod before T12. No side effects were reported. CONCLUSIONS Small molecules may represent a suitable option for CARP refractory to multiple biologics, deserving further investigation.

Abstract
Pouchitis is defined as inflammation of the ileal pouch created during a restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Although the incidence of this inflammatory condition is high, the exact etiology often remains unclear and the management challenging. In this review, we summarize the clinical presentation, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of this common complication.

Abstract
Upadacitinib has shown efficacy in the treatment of moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease (CD). The use of upadacitinib in the treatment of chronic antibiotics-refractory pouchitis (CARP), as well as CD of the pouch, has not been previously reported. We treated a series of 6 patients with CARP or CD of the pouch with a minimal 6 weeks of upadacitinib. The patients showed minimal or no significant improvement in clinical and endoscopic presentations. Our findings warrant further study to validate the efficacy and safety of upadacitinib in the treatment of CARP or CD of the pouch.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are chronic, progressive inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) and are without a known cure. Janus kinase (JAK) is a family of cytosolic tyrosine kinases that mediate signal transduction in response to extracellular stimuli. Abrogating the proinflammatory cytokine signaling cascades using JAK inhibitors (jakinibs) has been shown to be highly effective in the treatment of numerous inflammatory diseases, including IBD. Jakinibs currently licensed for moderate-to-severe IBD include the first-generation, nonselective tofacitinib and the second-generation JAK1-selective inhibitors filgotinib (licensed outside of the United States) and upadacitinib; several other jakinibs in the therapeutic pipeline are in various stages of clinical development. The jakinib class of small-molecule drugs share numerous commonalities such as their oral administration, nonimmunogenicity, short half-life, rapid onset of action, and the same class-wide regulatory restrictions owing to safety concerns. However, jakinibs differ on several fronts, translating into important clinical practice points for health care providers managing IBD patients. This article provides an overview of the jakinib class in IBD, examines how each drug differs in terms of pharmacology as well as efficacy and safety, and offers perspectives on challenges that remain and future opportunities.

Abstract
Oral tofacitinib can be effective in inducing response and remission in patients with chronic antibiotic refractory pouchitis. In addition to improving symptoms and quality of life, it can lead to improvement in endoscopic inflammation score and fecal calprotectin.
