Azathioprine is not altering the natural history of Crohn’s disease Cosnes J et al Gut 2005

Safety azatioprina Effetti avversi 138/333 (41%) Precoci 86/134 (25.9%) stop terapia 81/86 (94.2%) Tardivi 52/134 (15.7%) stop terapia 38/52 (73.1%) Daperno M et al. Dig Liver Dis 2011 (A)

Hospitalisations and surgeries drive costs in Crohn’s Disease (PRE-BIOLOGIC ERA) Hospitalization 33.7% Diagnostic W/U 1.5% 80% Complications 5.5% Outpatient 2.9% Surgery 46.2% Medications 10.2% Hay JW, et al. J Clin Gastroenterol. 1992; 14:309 9 9

Natural history of IBD Risk of stricturing and perforating complications in CD is above 50% over 10 - 20 years (peyrin-biroulet Am J Gastroent 2010) The proportion of patients having to undergo surgical resection in CD is around 50% over 10 years (peyrin-biroulet Am J Gastroent 2010) In UC the rate of IPAA is between 10 and 30% in 10 - 20 years (hoie 2007 gastroenterology) Increased risk of colon cancer associated with chronic uncontrolled colonic inflammation (rutter gastroenterology 2004)

Therapeutic goals in IBD: anti-TNF Induce rapid response and maintain steroid-free remission Achieve and maintain complete mucosal healing DEEP REMISSION (clinical, biological and endoscopic) Improve quality of life Avoid complications (i.e. hospitalisation and surgery) Prevention of post-op recurrences SAFETY The timing of anti-TNF introduction is a key issue in CD and UC management: change the natural history of IBD?

Anti-TNF: STEP UP STRATEGY The treatment is progressively increased in case of absence of response to the previous treatment tried Both in CD and UC, 3 steps can be recognised: mesalazine, IS and anti-TNF in mono or combo therapy. (The steroids are only a temporary adjuvant treatment at any step but not representing a step by themself) The main idea behind this strategy is to avoid overtreatment either because the cost, safety or patients-comfort The main risk is undertreatment leading to tissue damage or disability

ECCO indications for anti TNF in CD and UC a) CD :  Treatment of severe, active CD in patients who have not responded despite a full and adequate course of therapy with a corticosteroid and/or an immunosuppressant, or who are intolerant to or have medical contraindications for such therapies Fistulising CD :   Treatment of fistulising, active CD in patients who have not responded despite a full and adequate course of therapy with conventional treatment (including antibiotics, drainage and immunosuppressive therapy)     UC : Treatment of moderately to severely active UC in patients who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy, including corticosteroids and azathioprine, or who are intolerant to or have medical contraindications for such therapies ECCO guidelines 2008-2010

Anti -TNF : TOP DOWN STRATEGY a combined treatment with IS and anti-TNF is started from the beginning and then a decrease (anti-TNF and/or IS treatment cessation) can be considered if the disease is adequately controlled (D’Haens, lancet 2008) an infliximab-based treatment strategy, especially in AZA-naïve patients with high inflammatory burden at baseline, provides the most benefit in improving therapeutic outcomes (Danese, Al Pharmacol Therapy 2011) The main idea behind the top down approach is to avoid undertreatment mainly because of the potentially dramatic natural history of the disease The main risk is overtreatment with potential increased risk and in some cases unjustified increased cost

IG-IBD: EARLY TREATMENT IN CD Statement 4D Early use of Biologics may improve patient outcomes in active CD. However,a widespread use of a“topdown”approach in all CD patients cannot be recommended. Clinical factors at diagnosis may predict poor outcome in CD and should be taken into account when determining the initial therapeutic approach However,the benefit of early treatment with biologics in this patient subgroup is not proven

High risk of “aggressive” disease Disease location and behaviour Rectal disease Perianal lesions Extensive small bowel disease Severe upper gastro-intestinal disease Severe extraintestinal manifestations (25-40%) Deep ulcers Steroids for first flare High serologic titers (elevated CRP) Worsening factors Smoking Young age at diagnosis (<40) Genetic and serological profile (future?)

THE FUTURE IS TOMORROW “Role of genetics in prediction of disease course and response to therapy” Severine Vermeire, Gert Van Assche, Paul Rutgeerts World J Gastroenterol 2010 June 7; 16(21): 2609-2615

AND NOW? TAILORED THERAPY ! Optimal current approach is a mix of accelerated step up and targeted top down: in relation to the variable and heterogeneous natural history of IBD, the optimal timing of introduction of anti-TNF should be best discussed with the patients on a case by case basis DIGNASS J Crohn Colitis 2010 TRAVIS J Crohn Colitis 2008

Optimal timing for anti TNF treatment in IBD: consider global disease burden Benefit; risk of treatment; patient’s preference Disease severity Patient’s expectation Louis, UEGW 2011

CD: “BENIGN” DISEASE The patients with a benign disease representing 40% : this group will never need anti-TNF or even IS; they are patients with focal and supeficial disease and usually later onset munkholm scand j gastroenterol 1995

CD: “EVOLVING” DISEASE The patients with initially mild or moderate disease but evolving progressively towards a severe disease representing a 40% Close follow up can show the development of penetrating lesions, disabling extra-intestinal manifestations or incomplete control of the disease after a first or second course of steroids over the first year. The monitoring of these patients by 1) clinical assessment 2) imaging (endoscopic,RMN,VCE) 3) biomarkers (CRP, calprotectin) may help to detect the evolution and trigger the use of anti-TNF in mono or combo therapy LOUIS UEGW 2011 LOUIS UEGW 2011

CD: “BAD” DISEASE This group (20%) is characterised by extensive, badly located or penetrating disease from the start: an anti-TNF, preferably in combination with an IS, should be used very early in the disease course COLOMBEL 2010, NEJM

Endoscopic healing reduces the risk of surgery and hospitalisation ACCENT I Endoscopic healing reduces the risk of surgery and hospitalisation Rutgeerts et al. Gastrointestinal Endoscopy 2006

Mucosal Healing in CD at Year 2 Predicts Sustained Clinical Remission Crohn – IFX – Step-up/Top-down trial follow-up Mucosal Healing in CD at Year 2 Predicts Sustained Clinical Remission 49 patients from SUTD trial underwent colonoscopy at year 2 and were followed-up through year 3 and 4 Vi sono poi le osservazioni relative allo studio di follow-up del Step-up Top-down trial. La premessa è che il 73% dei pazienti sottoposti alla strategia Top-down e solo il 30% di coloro che avevano seguito la strategia Step-up avevano raggiunto la guarigione mucosale al termine del secondo anno di trattamento (quindi l’OR per la guarigione mucosale era di oltre 6 volte a favore della strategia Top-down), pur avendo simili probabilità di essere in uno stato di remissione clinica. Tuttavia seguendo i pazienti per ulteriori 2 anni (ed avendo ridotto la popolazione ai 49 soggetti con valutazione endoscopica all’anno 2 di terapia), coloro che avevano raggiunto la guarigione mucosale, con qualsiasi regime e farmaco, presentavano rispetto a coloro che non avevano ottenuto la guarigione mucosale una probabilità circa 6.5 volte maggiore di conservare una remissione clinica senza steroidi, 7.5 volte maggiore di conservare una remissione clinica senza sia gli steroidi, sia IFX e un rischio ridotto di quasi 7 volte di sviluppare nuove fistole nei 2 anni successivi Baert F, et al.

Gastroenterology. 2007;133(2):412-422. 31 31

Summary Persistence of mucosal lesions bears a bad prognosis. It is possible to achieve and maintain mucosal healing using anti-TNF therapy. Mucosal healing prolongs clinical remission. Mucosal healing reduces complications, hospitalizations and surgery requirements. Mucosal healing may reduce the risk of cancer Preliminary data suggest that anti-TNF treatment may impact the natural history of IBD and increase the chance for the patient to have a normal life louis UEGW 2011

CD: Evidence based Anti-TNF efficacy Anti TNF treatment have been prove effective both as an induction and maintenance therapy in : 1) Active luminal disease 2) Peri-anal fistuling disease 3) Steroid-naive, dependent or refractory disease 4) Immunosoppressant-naive or refractory disease Oussalah, Curr Drug Targets 2010

Thiopurines could be added in naïve patients Induction and maintenance of remission in moderate-to-severe steroid-refractory or dependent CD IG-IBD Statement 4A Anti-TNF agents are a valuable option in moderate-to-severe steroid- refractory or dependent CD Thiopurines could be added in naïve patients Adalimumab can be used as a second line treatment in patients with primary failures to infliximab or with loss of response or intolerance to infliximab

Maintenance of remission in luminal CD IG-IBD Statement 4B Anti-TNF agents are effective for maintenance of remission up to 1 year in patients with clinical response to induction therapy Anti-TNF agents should be the treatment of choice for patients who have failed maintenance strategies with immuno- suppressants

Management of perianal complex fistulas IG-IBD Statement 5D “Cone-like” fistulectomy of each fistula tract should firstly be performed with sparing of sphincteric structures Seton placement should be recommended,the timing of removal depending on subsequent therapy. Anti-TNF agents should be used as the first choice of medical therapy for complex perianal CD Combination with surgical therapy is recommended despite a lack of clinical trials Antibiotics and/or azathioprine/6-mercaptopurines should be used as a second line medical treatment,despite a lack of clinical trials

Induction and maintenance of response/remission in moderate-to-severe steroid-refractory or steroid-dependent UC IG-IBD Statement 6A-B Infliximab induction regimen can be used in patients with moderate-to-severe UC who are refractory to systemic corticosteroids and in corticosteroid-dependent patients who are intolerant/refractory to thiopurines.One year scheduled treatment with Infliximab can be used in patients who have responded to infliximab induction. In patients who are thiopurine-naïve, maintenance therapy with thiopurines alone is a valuable option.The duration of the therapy over 1 year should be carefully evaluated on a case-by-case basis Maintenance therapy with infliximab that achieves only response should be carefully evaluated in the face of a colectomy

Induction and maintenance of response/remission in severe steroids refractory UC IG-IBD Statement 7A Infliximab reduces colectomy rate within 3 months in steroid-refractory severe UC A colectomy is recommended if there is no improvement within 5days[EL5,RG D]. Infliximab should be avoided in patients with a complicated disease Reinfusions seem more effective than one single infusion to prevent early colectomy, but there is insufficient evidence to provide recommendations on the ideal dosing schedule.Antibiotic prophylaxis against opportunistic infections is suggested

“INTERAZIONI” nell’outcome delle M.I.C.I. Fenotipo Decorso Risultato Fattori genotipici TERAPIA Fattori demografici Fattori psicosociali Fattori ambientali Wolters F, et al SJG 2006 La malattia di Crohn e la rettocolite ulcerosa costituiscono un gruppo di malattie infiammatorie croniche del tratto gastrointestinale ad origine non ancora ben conosciuta, comunemente definite come malattie infiammatorie croniche intestinali. I primi segni di queste malattie spesso compaiono in età giovanile ed il loro decorso può essere estremamente debilitante. Sulla base di queste premesse è chiaro come cercare di migliorare il più possibile l’outcome di queste malattie sia una sfida di fondamentale importanza per i medici dedicati. In maniera schematica, si può oggi ipotizzare che l’outcome delle malattie infiammatorie croniche intestinale dipenda da un continuo interplay tra fattori genotipici, ambientali, demografici, psicosociali e, non meno importante, medico-sanitari. In definitiva, lo stato di salute dell’individuo con malattia infiammatoria cronica intestinale dovrebbe essere considerato come risultato dell’interazione continua di queste variabili.
