Efficacy of Intensification Regimes:
Experience of a Single Referral Centre
 Objective:
 To evaluate the efficacy of intensification regimes of
infliximab (IFX) and adalimumab (ADA) in patients with IBD
with regard to therapeutic response and ability to return to
normal dosing
 Methods:
 Retrospective review for intensification of therapeutic
regimes of biological therapy in patients with IBD treated in
center with IFX or ADA between October 2007 and
September 2010

Use of fecal calprotectin as marker of disease
activity in patients under maintenance
treatment with infliximab for ulcerative colitis
• N=113 UC patients on IFX 5mg/kg in stable remission with 5mg/kg IFX q8.
Fecal calprotectin (FC) measured monthly for 1 year
Deep remission (DR) = normal endoscopy at BL and wk 52 + Mayo score < 3
Active disease = clinical Mayo score or endoscopic score >2 at wek52
median FC < 50 mg/kg at
all measured time points.

Median FC 477 mg/kg. Increase in FC observed
already 3mo before. Two consecutive FC
measurements >300 mg/kg predicted flare
FC levels highly correlate with disease activity in pts on IFX maintenance therapy for UC.
DR is associated with very low levels of FC. A flare is associated with high levels (median >300 mg/kg).
Two consecutive cp levels of >300 mg/kg predict a flare.

Close monitoring of CRP and fecal calprotectin
levels to predict relapse in Crohn's disease
patients. A sub-analysis of the STORI study
• N= 113 CD patients in corticosteroid-free remission for ≥ 6mos on IFX and
immunosuppressants (IS) .
- IFX discontinued , CRP and calprotectin measured every 2 mos through
18 mos or clinical relapse.
P = 0.001
P = 0.07
• CRP > 5mg/l and Calpro >250μg/g were associated with relapse in short term
• After discontinuation of IFX in CD patients, elevated levels of CRP and calpro
were associated with increased risk of short term relapse, even with high
variability of markers during follow-up

Fecal lactoferrin level is an indicator of
mucosal healing
 85 pts monitored for the complete 12-months
 49 pts experienced sustained remission defined by
CAI
 44 achieved mucosal healing based on Endoscopy Score
0–1
 41 did not show any signs of acute histological activity
(Riley Score)
 FLA was the only biomarker to show a median
level above cut-off for active disease defined
by endoscopy as well as histology for pts in
sustained clinical remission
