Background
Inflammatory arthropathies are the most common EIM associated to IBD with a prevalence of 20-50% for axial inflammation and 5-20% for peripheral arthritis. AntiTNF is the preferred treatment in patients with axial spondiloarthritis (AxSp) intolerant or refractory to NSAIDs and has shown efficacy in peripheral arthritis (pSp) as well. Nevertheless, an optimal antiTNF through level has not been yet stablished in this clinical setting. Thus, our aims were to evaluate the correlation between antiTNF through levels and joint EIM activity in IBD patients.
Methods
We conducted a prospective, multicenter cohort study. IBD patients diagnosed with articular EIM (AxSp, pSp or both) under antiTNF treatment at least 6 months were included. Anti-TNF concentrations were measured using ELISA. Blood samples were obtained just before the administration of the drug (trough levels), and an simultaneous evaluation by a reumatologist was performed. Definitions: inactive AxSp = ASDAS-CRP <1,3 and BASDAI<2 , low active AxSp: ASDAS-CRP <2,1 and BASDAI<4; inactive pSp=arthritis, enthesitis and dactylitis=0, low active pSp: arthritis, enthesitis and dactylitis ≤1. IBD activity was based on partial Mayo score for ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and on Harvey-Bradshaw score for Crohn´s disease (CD) patients.
Results
A total of 78 patients were included: Median age 52 ±15, 45% women, 82% CD (56% ileal; 18% colic; 24% ileocolic; 2% upper gastrointestinal involvement; 22% stricturing behaviour; 16% penetrating; 14% perianal disease), 18% UC (61% extensive, 15% left-sided, 23% proctitis), 11% had another EIM. HLA B-27 was present in 26% patients. Distribution of spondiloartrhopaties was: AxSp 42%, pSp 37%, or both 20%. Among CD patients, 18,9% presented clinical activity (n=14). Mean IBD disease duration was 11± 9,7 years. Fourteen patients (18%) were also under immunosupressive treatment .Through levels distributed by joint activity are shown in table 1.Figure 1 shows distribution of adalimumab through levels by AxSp activity.
Conclusion
No correlation between antiTNF through levels and joint EIM activity was found in these preliminary results. However, patients with active axial Sp treated with adalimumab had lower through levels than those with inactive axial Sp.
