Corticosteroids remain a cornerstone of IBD induction therapy and many patients in trials are enrolled while taking corticosteroids. Despite this, approaches to corticosteroid management in RCTs have been highly heterogeneous, often differing from clinical practice. This negatively impacts patients’ willingness to participate due to prolonged corticosteroid exposure and may potentially bias outcomes in the clinical trial. Our aim is to provide comprehensive standardized recommendations on key aspects of corticosteroid use in IBD clinical trials through a multi-phase, international expert consensus, with a goal to help inform and standardize practice in future RCTs.<h3>Methods</h3>The consensus was informed by a systematic review of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane CENTRAL Register of Controlled Trials, which determined the corticosteroid management rules used in placebo-controlled trials of advanced therapies in IBD. International expert consensus recommendations for all aspects of corticosteroid management in RCTs were then developed using a modified Delphi process with two rounds of survey questions and a ratification meeting.<h3>Results</h3>These recommendations propose management of corticosteroids during screening, induction, and maintenance phases of pharmacologic trials in IBD, and define corticosteroid-related endpoints. We emphasize the need for minimizing corticosteroid exposure through expedited tapering and shorter fixed-dosing periods that more closely reflect clinical care, and provide recommendations for standardized definitions of corticosteroid-free remission.<h3>Conclusions</h3>These recommendations will serve to optimize trial design and facilitate appropriate, acceptable, and standardized RCT corticosteroid handling practices.","PeriodicalId":12590,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterology","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144165261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No FDA-approved mechanism-based strategies exist to enhance biliary development in ALGS or other diseases with bile duct paucity. We aimed to identify a therapeutic target to address this unmet need.<h3>METHODS</h3>Preclinical ALGS mouse models lacking one copy of <em>Jag1</em> with or without conditional deletion of one or both copies of <em>Sox9</em> were used. <em>Sox4</em> levels were reduced genetically or with adeno-associated virus 8 (AAV8) vectors driving a <em>Sox4</em>-silencing sequence. Liver histology, biliary tree ink injection, serum chemistry, RNAscope (on mouse and human livers), mouse liver single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq), and reanalysis of published human liver bulk RNA-Seq were performed.<h3>RESULTS</h3>Conditional removal of one copy of <em>Sox4</em> in mouse liver significantly improved the ALGS liver phenotypes in a <em>Sox9</em>-dependent manner. An increase in <em>Sox4/SOX4</em> expression in early postnatal <em>Jag1</em>-heterozygous mouse livers and ALGS patient livers was observed. scRNA-Seq revealed the appearance of an intermediate hepatobiliary cluster co-expressing <em>Sox4</em> and <em>Sox9</em> in <em>Jag1-</em>heterozygous livers. AAV8-mediated <em>Sox4</em> knockdown, ubiquitously or driven by the hepatocyte-specific TBG promoter, led to long-term improvement of ALGS liver phenotypes upon injection at postnatal day 1 (P1). AAV8 injection at P15—after the appearance of liver necrosis—led to the incorporation of some transduced cells into bile ducts and phenotypic improvement.<h3>CONCLUSIONS</h3>Preclinical studies provide proof of principle for postnatal AAV-mediated <em>Sox4</em> knockdown in TBG<sup>+</sup> cells as a therapeutic approach for ALGS liver disease.","PeriodicalId":12590,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterology","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144153787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
