Abstract
Anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNFα) inhibitors are used extensively for the management of moderate to severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in both adult and pediatric patients. Unfortunately, not all patients show an optimal response to induction therapy, while others lose their response over time for reasons yet poorly understood. We report on a pharmacokinetic/pharmacogenetic approach to monitor the therapy with anti-TNFα in a real-world cohort of seventy-nine pediatric patients affected by IBD that was analyzed retrospectively. We evaluated plasma concentrations of infliximab, adalimumab, and related anti-drug antibodies (ADAs), and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in immune processes and inflammation on the anti-TNFα response. We found a significant association between the SNP in TNFα promoter (−308G>A) and clinical remission without steroids in patients on infliximab therapy. Additionally, a potential connection between HLA-DQA1*05 genetic variant carriers and a higher risk of anti-TNFα immunogenicity emerged.
