P - Advances in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

The only end-points of therapy that matter are
mucosal healing, normal blood work, and
negative radiologic studies.

Are we changing the Natural History by using
clinical symptoms as our end-point??

Shifting CD Therapeutic Goals

PREVIOUS GOALS
Induce & maintain clinical
remission
 Improve quality of life
Minimize drug toxicity
 Optimize surgical outcomes

ADDED GOALS
Heal the mucosa
 Modify the natural history
of disease
Prevent complications!!
Does good symptom control mean
good disease control?
Cannabis induces a clinical response in
patients with CD
• 21 patients randomized to
placebo vs. cannabis with THC
• Significant “response” in CDAI in
THC group (90% vs. 40%) at 8
weeks
• NO change in HCT or CRP
• Conclusion: getting high lowers
your CDAI.
Naftali, et al. CGH 2013
The CDAI- Subjective and Non-Specific
• Higher CDAIs in IBS
patients
• Pain scores higher
(p=0.1)
Mean CDAI Score
• 91 consecutive patients
with CD or IBS

Crohn’s Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity (CDEIS)
Modigliani R et al. Gastroenterology. 1990;98:811.
Lack of Correlation Between Endoscopy
and Clinical Symptoms
(Which One is Really Measuring the Disease?)
• Endoscopy is not a biomarker, endoscopy is physical
(visual) examination of the ileum and colon
– Analogies
• Psoriasis – physical (visual) examination showing
presence and severity of typical skin lesions
• Rheumatoid arthritis – physical examination showing
swollen and tender joints + biomarkers
• Clinical symptoms are a surrogate for endoscopy
findings, not the other way around
MR Enterography
• 50 CD patients
• Ileocolonoscopy and MRE
• Strong correlation between CDEIS
and wall thickness, ulceration,
enhancement, edema
• R=0.82 for MRE score and CDEIS
• MRE highly accurate for
assessment of active disease
Rimola et al Gut 2009
Treat-to-Target
IBD
• This strategy requires a new treatment target.
– Clinical remission
– Control of inflammation (mucosal healing)
Deep Remission
Treat-to-Target
– This approach is taken with other chronic,
progressive diseases where there are clearly
defined treatment targets
• Hypertension, Diabetes and Rheumatoid
Arthritis
– No longer sufficient to aim to treat to
symptom control
Deep Remission
• Goals
– Prevention of bowel damage
– Reduction of long-term disability
– Maintenance of good quality of life
Deep Remission after 1 year of treatment for UC
is predictive of a decreased rate of colectomy

Meaningful Response: The clinician’s
perspective
This is not the only reason for a colonoscopy.
