Hypovolaemic phlebotomy is associated with decreased red blood cell transfusion in observational studies. This trial aimed to investigate whether hypovolaemic phlebotomy is superior to usual care in reducing red blood cell transfusions in patients undergoing liver resection.<h3>Methods</h3>PRICE-2 was a multicentre, single-blind, superiority randomised controlled trial. Patients at a higher risk of blood loss undergoing liver resection for any indication at four Canadian academic tertiary-care hospitals were randomised to receive hypovolaemic phlebotomy or usual care. Hypovolaemic phlebotomy consisted of the removal of 7–10 mL/kg of whole blood, without volume replacement, before liver transection. Patients were randomised centrally using permuted blocks of randomly variable length, stratified by centre. The randomisation sequence was computer-generated by an independent statistician. Surgeons, patients, and outcome assessors were masked to treatment allocation. The primary outcome was perioperative red blood cell transfusion to 30 days post-randomisation, analysed in all randomly assigned patients who underwent liver resection.

We convened an international multidisciplinary expert panel to standardise best practices of microbiome testing for clinical implementation, including recommendations on general principles and minimum requirements for their provision, indications, pre-testing protocols, method of analyses, reporting of results, and potential clinical value. We also evaluated current knowledge gaps and future directions in this field.

We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of filgotinib, an oral Janus kinase 1 preferential inhibitor, for treating Crohn's disease.<h3>Methods</h3>This phase 3, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 371 centres in 39 countries. Eligible patients were aged 18–75 years with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease for at least 3 months before enrolment. Patients were enrolled into one of two induction studies on the basis of their experience with biological agents (induction study A included biologic-naive and later biologic-experienced patients and induction study B included biologic-experienced patients). In both induction studies, patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1), using an interactive web response system, to receive oral filgotinib 200 mg, filgotinib 100 mg, or placebo once daily for 11 weeks. Patients who received filgotinib and had two-item patient-reported outcome (PRO2) clinical remission or an endoscopic response at week 10 were re-randomised (2:1) to receive their induction dose or placebo orally, once daily to the end of week 58 in the maintenance study. Co-primary endpoints were PRO2 clinical remission and an endoscopic response at week 10 (induction studies) and week 58 (maintenance study). PRO2 clinical remission was defined as an abdominal pain subscore of not more than 1 and a liquid or very soft stool frequency subscore of not more than 3 (from eDiary data) and endoscopic response was defined as a reduction of at least 50% in Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's disease from induction baseline (from central reading of endoscopy). For the induction studies, efficacy was assessed in all randomly assigned patients who received at least one dose of study drug. For the maintenance study, efficacy was assessed in all patients from either filgotinib treatment group in the induction studies who reached PRO2 clinical remission or an endoscopic response at week 10, and who were re-randomised and received at least one dose of study drug in the maintenance study. Patients who received placebo throughout the induction and maintenance studies were not included in the full analysis set for the maintenance study.

Of these, 50% will subsequently have endoscopic disease recurrence within 1 year. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vedolizumab to prevent postoperative recurrence of Crohn's disease.<h3>Methods</h3>REPREVIO was a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial conducted at 13 academic or teaching hospitals in France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain. Eligible participants were adult patients aged 18 years or older with Crohn's disease who underwent ileocolonic resection and had one or more risk factors for recurrence. Patients were randomly assigned within 4 weeks of surgery (1:1 ratio) to receive intravenous vedolizumab (300 mg) or placebo at weeks 0, 8, 16, and 24. Randomisation was performed centrally with a computer-generated validated variable block model and patients were stratified according to disease behaviour (fibrostenotic <em>vs</em> inflammatory or perforating). Ileocolonoscopy was performed at week 26 and videorecorded. Endoscopic recurrence was centrally assessed with the modified Rutgeerts score, a categorial score ranging from i0 to i4. The primary endpoint was the distribution of modified Rutgeerts scores between treatment groups at week 26, analysed by non-parametric methods. The first-ranked secondary endpoint was the proportion of patients with severe endoscopic recurrence of Crohn's disease at week 26 (modified Rutgeerts score ≥i2b). Primary and safety analyses included all patients who underwent randomisation and received at least one dose of study drug. The trial is registered with the EU Clinical Trial Register (EudraCT; 2015-000555-24).<h3>Findings</h3>Between May 16, 2017, and April 8, 2022, 84 patients were randomly assigned to treatment, of whom four did not receive study treatment, leaving 43 patients in the vedolizumab group and 37 in the placebo group. At week 26, the probability of a lower modified Rutgeerts score with vedolizumab versus placebo was 77·8% (95% CI 66·4 to 86·3; p<0·0001). Severe endoscopic recurrence was observed in ten (23·3%) of 43 patients in the vedolizumab group versus 23 (62·2%) of 37 patients in the placebo group (difference –38·9% [95% CI –56·0 to –17·3]; p=0·0004). Serious adverse events occurred in three (7·0%) of 43 patients who received vedolizumab (bilateral tubo-ovarian abscesses, thrombosed haemorrhoids, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma) and in two (5·4%) of 37 patients who received placebo (intestinal perforation related to Crohn's disease and severe abdominal pain).<h3>Interpretation</h3>Vedolizumab treatment within 4 weeks of ileocolonic resection was more likely to prevent endoscopic Crohn's disease recurrence than placebo, making this an attractive option for postoperative management in patients with risk factors for recurrence. Larger studies with longer follow-up would be desirable.<h3>Funding</h3>Takeda Nederland.","PeriodicalId":56028,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology","volume":"173 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":35.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142670813","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}
