Abstract
Introduction: No real-world studies have compared efficacy of ustekinumab (UST) and risankizumab (RZB) for the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD).
Methods: We retrospectively collected the data of patients with CD treated with UST or RZB between May 2017 and March 2024 at the Institute of Science Tokyo and analyzed clinical remission rate at weeks 8 and 28 using Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI), with remission defined as a HBI ≤4.
Result: A total of 111 patients who were treated with UST and 29 patients treated with RZB were included in the analysis. RZB had higher efficacy both at weeks 8 (82.8% vs. 62.2%, p = 0.0465) and 28 (79.3% vs. 56.8%, p = 0.0321) than UST in the full study cohort, and at weeks 8 (55.6% vs. 18.4%, p = 0.0352) and 28 (66.7% vs. 18.4%, p = 0.0083) in the patients with clinically active disease and anti-TNFα exposed patients. During the observation period, 1 patient with RZB (3.45%) experienced an adverse event that required hospitalization, and 1 patient in the UST group (0.900%) experienced an adverse event that led to treatment discontinuation.
Conclusion: RZB may offer greater short-term efficacy than UST, with an acceptable safety profile in real-world settings.
没有现实世界的研究比较ustekinumab (UST)和risankizumab (RZB)治疗克罗恩病(CD)的疗效。方法:回顾性收集2017年5月至2024年3月在东京科学研究所接受UST或RZB治疗的CD患者的数据,并使用Harvey-Bradshaw指数(HBI)分析第8周和第28周的临床缓解率,缓解定义为HBI≤4。结果:共纳入111例UST患者和29例RZB患者。在整个研究队列中,RZB在第8周(82.8% vs. 62.2%, p = 0.0465)和28周(79.3% vs. 56.8%, p = 0.0321)的疗效均高于UST,在临床活动性疾病和抗tnf α暴露患者中,RZB在第8周(55.6% vs. 18.4%, p = 0.0352)和28周(66.7% vs. 18.4%, p = 0.0083)的疗效高于UST。观察期间,1例RZB患者(3.45%)发生不良事件需要住院治疗,1例UST组患者(0.900%)发生不良事件导致停药。结论:RZB可能比UST具有更大的短期疗效,在现实环境中具有可接受的安全性。
