Infliximab serum concentrations in luminal Crohn's disease and its relationship with disease activity: A multicentric cross-sectional study. GASTROENTEROLOGIA Y HEPATOLOGIA 2023:S0210-5705(23)00505-8.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In Latin America, experience with monitoring serum Infliximab (IFX) concentrations is scarce. Our study aimed to compare IFX serum concentrations between patients with active disease or in remission. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed in patients with luminal Crohn's disease (CD) during maintenance treatment with IFX. Patients were classified as in remission or disease activity according to clinical scores and endoscopic, radiological, and laboratory markers. A comparison of IFX trough levels between the two groups was performed. RESULTS 80 CD patients were included [41 (51%) in remission and 39 (49%) with active disease]. In the analysis of general disease activity, the median serum levels of IFX in patients with remission and with active CD were 5.63 [0.03-14.40] vs. 3.84 [0.03-14.40] (p=0.287). Furthermore, there was no difference in serum IFX concentrations in endoscopic, radiological, and laboratory activities. Only in the clinical evaluation there was a significant difference in the median serum IFX levels between patients in remission and disease activity, 5.63 [0.03-14.40] vs. 2.14 [0.32-10.54] (p=0.042). CONCLUSIONS IFX serum concentrations during maintenance treatment were similar in patients with luminal CD in remission and general, endoscopic, radiological, and laboratory disease activity. Patients with clinically active disease had lower IFX concentrations than patients in remission.

Abstract
The use of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in the clinic has successfully expanded to treatment of cancer, viral infections, inflammations, and other indications. However, some of the classes of mAbs that are used in the clinic show the formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) leading to loss of efficacy. This review describes ADA formation for the various mAbs, and its clinical effect. Lastly, this review considers the use of HLA-haplotypes as biomarkers to predict vulnerability of patients sensitive to formation of ADAs.

Clin Transl Gastroenterol 2021; 12:e00401. [PMID: 34613952 PMCID: PMC8500561 DOI: 10.14309/ctg.0000000000000401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2020] [Accepted: 07/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION We investigated whether early adalimumab drug levels (ADL) at week 4 predicted biological remission at week 24. METHODS In a prospective study, we assessed clinical and biological remission at weeks 0, 4, 12, and 24 after induction of adalimumab in 33 patients with Crohn's disease. Disease activity was determined by the Harvey-Bradshaw Index, ileocolonoscopy reports, cross-sectional imaging, C-reactive protein (CRP), and fecal calprotectin (FC) levels. Clinical remission was defined as Harvey-Bradshaw Index <5. Biological remission was defined as a combination of FC < 200 μg/g and CRP <5 μg/mL. ADL trough levels were tested using a liquid phase, mobility shift assay. RESULTS At 24 weeks, 18/33 (55%) of the patients were with biological remission. Ten (30%) patients required dose escalation or withdrawal from adalimumab by week 24 because of lack of response and exhibited significantly higher FC (P = 0.003) and CRP (P = 0.002). ADL levels at week 4 (19.8 μg/mL vs 10.2 μg/mL, P = 0.001) were significantly higher in patients with biological remission vs nonresponders at week 24. ADL levels at week 4 were a good predictor of biological remission at week 24, with area under the curve 0.86, 95% confidence interval (1.1; 1.67) and for combined biological and clinical remission, with area under the curve 0.8. The best ADL cutoff at week 4 that predicted biological remission at week 24 was 13.9 μg/mL (sensitivity 94.4% and specificity 73.3%). DISCUSSION In individuals with Crohn's disease, higher adalimumab drug levels at week 4 (>13.9 μg/mL) were significantly associated with biological remission at week 24.
