摘要
背景:目前尚无生物标志物可预测克罗恩病(CD)患者对乌司替单抗(UST)的治疗反应。这项前瞻性研究旨在确定一种或多种细胞因子,以预测接受 UST 治疗的 CD 患者的粘膜愈合情况:我们前瞻性地招募了接受 UST 治疗的连续 CD 患者。在第 0 周(基线)、第 24 周和第 48 周,我们采用荧光测定法检测了一系列血清细胞因子。在同一时间点,还对粪便钙蛋白(FC)进行了评估。在基线和第 48 周时进行结肠镜检查,根据粘膜愈合情况评估治疗效果:结果:在 44 名入选患者中,22 人(50%)在随访结束时实现了粘膜愈合。白细胞介素(IL)-23水平升高与疗效有关(P 结论:白细胞介素(IL)-23水平升高与疗效有关:这项试点研究表明,IL-23 和 FC 是预测 CD UST 治疗效果的可靠生物标志物。特别是,IL-23的基线血清水平与48周时的粘膜愈合之间的相关性特别强,这为使用IL-23推动治疗决策铺平了道路。
Baseline Assessment of Serum Cytokines Predicts Clinical and Endoscopic Response to Ustekinumab in Patients With Crohn's Disease: A Prospective Pilot Study.
Background: No biomarkers are currently available to predict therapeutic response to ustekinumab (UST) in Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of this prospective study was to identify 1 or more cytokines able to predict mucosal healing in patients with CD treated with UST.
Methods: We prospectively enrolled consecutive CD patients treated with UST. At weeks 0 (baseline), 24, and 48, a panel of serum cytokines was measured by a fluorescence assay. At the same time points, fecal calprotectin (FC) was assessed. A colonoscopy was performed at baseline and at week 48, where therapeutic outcome was evaluated in terms of mucosal healing.
Results: Out of 44 patients enrolled, 22 (50%) achieved mucosal healing at the end of follow-up. Response was associated with higher interleukin (IL)-23 levels (P < .01). Fecal calprotectin levels decreased over time in responders but did not change in nonresponders (test for the interaction between time and mucosal healing, P < .001).
Conclusions: This pilot study showed that IL-23 and FC could be reliable biomarkers in predicting therapeutic outcome to UST therapy in CD. In particular, the correlation between baseline serum levels of IL-23 and mucosal healing at 48 weeks is particularly strong, paving the way for its use to drive therapeutic decisions.
