BackgroundA treat-to-target therapeutic approach is emerging as the new standard of care for treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's disease (CD), and ulcerative colitis (UC).AimsWe aimed to investigate the association of serum adalimumab concentrations during maintenance therapy with biochemical, endoscopic, and histologic remission in IBD.MethodsThis retrospective multicenter study included consecutive IBD patients on adalimumab maintenance therapy who had a C-reactive protein (CRP) within 1week and/or endoscopic evaluation within 12weeks of therapeutic drug monitoring between July 2013 and December 2016. Biochemical remission was defined as a normal CRP (5mg/L). Endoscopic remission was defined as the absence of any ulceration/erosion or a Rutgeerts score ofi1 for patients with an ileocolonic resection for CD and a Mayo endoscopic score of1 for UC. Histologic remission was defined as the absence of any sign of active inflammation. Adalimumab concentrations were measured using the homogeneous mobility shift assay.ResultsNinety-one CRP levels and 72 colonoscopies from 98 IBD patients [CD: n=72 (73%)] were evaluated. Based on receiver operating characteristic analyses, we identified an adalimumab concentration threshold of 11.8, 12, and 12.2g/mL in CD and 10.5, 16.2, and 16.2g/mL in UC to stratify patients with or without biochemical, endoscopic, or histologic remission, respectively. Adalimumab concentrations12g/mL (OR 8; 95% CI 2-31.9; p=0.003) and12.2g/mL (OR 9.6; 95% CI 1.7-56.1; p=0.012) were independently associated with endoscopic and histologic remission in CD, respectively.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that higher maintenance adalimumab concentrations are associated with objective therapeutic outcomes in IBD.
