[en] [en] BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Data regarding effectiveness and safety of JAK inhibitors and S1P receptor modulators in antibiotic refractory chronic pouchitis (CARP) are lacking.
METHODS: This ECCO-CONFER project retrospectively collected JAK inhibitors or S1P receptor modulators treatments for CARP with at least 3-months follow up. The outcomes included corticosteroid and antibiotics-free clinical response and remission at three and twelve months, trend in mPDAI, endoscopic PDAI, CRP and calprotectin.
RESULTS: Seventeen treatments in 15 patients were collected. Previous pouchitis treatments included infliximab (5/15), adalimumab (4/15), vedolizumab (9/15), and ustekinumab (5/15). Pooling data on JAK inhibitors (8 tofacitinib, 1 filgotinib and 6 upadacitinib), after 3 months (T3), steroid and antibiotics-free clinical response was achieved in 53.3% (8/15), steroid and antibiotics-free clinical remission was achieved in 40% (6/15). Of the patients with at least 12 months of follow-up, steroid and antibiotics-free clinical response was achieved in 50% (3/6) and remission in one patient (16.7%), endoscopic response in 50% (3/6), endoscopic remission in 50% (3/6). Of the two ozanimod treatments at T3, steroid and antibiotics-free clinical response was achieved in one patient, without remission; both discontinued ozanimod before T12. No side effects reported.
CONCLUSIONS: Small molecules may represent a suitable option for CARP refractory to multiple biologics, deserving further investigation.
