Real-World Outcomes of Dual Advanced Therapy in Children and Young Adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Digestive Diseases and Sciences 2024 March 24
BACKGROUND: Data are limited on the safety and efficacy of combining advanced therapies for refractory patients with IBD.
AIM: To evaluate the real-world efficacy and safety of dual advanced therapy (DAT), combining 2 biologics or a biologic with a small molecule, in children and young adults with refractory IBD.
METHODS: Primary outcome of this single IBD center cohort was DAT remission (clinical and biomarker remission) at first assessment (T1). Secondary outcomes included remission at T2, if DAT de-intensification (De-I) occurred and T3, if T2 DAT re-intensification (Re-I) occurred. Efficacy and safety outcomes were described.
RESULTS: Of the 30 patients [43% female, 30% CD, median age of 18.3 [15.1-19.8] years], all 11 UST + TOFA achieved T1 remission; 6/10 De-I failed at T2; and 4/4 Re-I achieved T3 remission. Of 9 VDZ + TOFA, 6 achieved T1 remission; 5/6 De-I failed at T2; and 1/1 failed T3 Re-I. Of 4 UST + VDZ, 3 achieved T1 remission; 2/3 De-I failed at T2; and 0 had Re-I. Of 5 UST + UPA, 4 achieved T1 remission; 1/5 De-I failed at T2 but recaptured T3 remission post-Re-I. One VDZ + OZA achieved T1 remission and maintained T2 remission post-De-I to OZA monotherapy. At last follow-up, 43% were on original DAT, 17% on one of original DAT, and 40% neither. One UST + TOFA patient developed mild leukopenia and another developed septic arthritis and venous thromboembolism on VDZ + TOFA and prednisone.
CONCLUSION: Most children and young adults treated with DAT achieved remission with minimal safety events; however, de-intensification had limited success.
