          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción: Ustekinumab surge como una alternativa terapéutica en enfermedad de Crohn en pacientes con fracaso a anti-TNF. Sin embargo, en muchas ocasiones, es habitual tener que reducir/acortar sus tiempos de administración para evitar el fracaso terapéutico. El objetivo de esta revisión sistemática es evaluar la efectividad de la intensificación de ustekinumab mediante el acortamiento de su intervalo terapéutico. Método: Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura basada en las directrices de la declaración PRISMA. Se consultaron las bases de datos Medline, Embase y Web of Science, incluyéndose estudios con adultos diagnosticados de enfermedad de Crohn moderada o grave a los que se le hubiera realizado como intervención un cambio de posología del fármaco ustekinumab mediante acortamiento de intervalo a cada 4 semanas. Resultados: Se incluyeron 5 artículos, siendo uno de ellos una revisión sistemática. A los 6 meses se muestran tasas de remisión clínica en torno al 45%, una reducción media de 3 puntos en el índice de Harvey Bradshaw sobre el nivel basal, así como una normalización de niveles de PCR en un 21% de los pacientes. Conclusiones: Los resultados apoyan el uso del acortamiento de intervalo de ustekinumab como una opción terapéutica efectiva y útil para pacientes con pérdida de respuesta a la pauta habitual. Sin embargo, se recomienda realizar nuevos estudios de diseño experimental que aumenten el nivel de evidencia existente.

          Abstract Introduction: Ustekinumab emerges as a therapeutic alternative in Crohn's disease in patients with anti-TNF failure. However, on many occasions, it is common to have to reduce/shorten their administration times to avoid therapeutic failure. The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the effectiveness of ustekinumab intensification by shortening its therapeutic interval. Method: A systematic review of the literature based on the guidelines of the PRISMA statement was performed. The Medline, Embase and Web of Science databases were consulted, including studies with adults diagnosed with moderate or severe Crohn's disease who had undergone a change in ustekinumab dosage as an intervention by shortening the interval to every 4 weeks. Results: Five articles were included, one of them being a systematic review. At 6 months, clinical remission rates of around 45% are shown, an average reduction of 3 points in the Harvey Bradshaw index over baseline, as well as a normalization of CRP levels in 21% of patients. Conclusions: The results support the use of ustekinumab interval shortening as an effective and useful therapeutic option for patients with loss of response to the usual regimen. However, it is recommended to carry out new studies of experimental design that increase the level of existing evidence.

            The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement: guidelines for reporting observational studies.

            Much biomedical research is observational. The reporting of such research is often inadequate, which hampers the assessment of its strengths and weaknesses and of a study's generalizability. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Initiative developed recommendations on what should be included in an accurate and complete report of an observational study. We defined the scope of the recommendations to cover 3 main study designs: cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies. We convened a 2-day workshop in September 2004, with methodologists, researchers, and journal editors, to draft a checklist of items. This list was subsequently revised during several meetings of the coordinating group and in e-mail discussions with the larger group of STROBE contributors, taking into account empirical evidence and methodological considerations. The workshop and the subsequent iterative process of consultation and revision resulted in a checklist of 22 items (the STROBE Statement) that relate to the title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, and discussion sections of articles. Eighteen items are common to all 3 study designs and 4 are specific for cohort, case-control, or cross-sectional studies. A detailed Explanation and Elaboration document is published separately and is freely available at http://www.annals.org and on the Web sites of PLoS Medicine and Epidemiology. We hope that the STROBE Statement will contribute to improving the quality of reporting of observational studies.

              Ustekinumab induction and maintenance therapy in refractory Crohn's disease.

              In patients with Crohn's disease, the efficacy of ustekinumab, a human monoclonal antibody against interleukin-12 and interleukin-23, is unknown. We evaluated ustekinumab in adults with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease that was resistant to anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) treatment. During induction, 526 patients were randomly assigned to receive intravenous ustekinumab (at a dose of 1, 3, or 6 mg per kilogram of body weight) or placebo at week 0. During the maintenance phase, 145 patients who had a response to ustekinumab at 6 weeks underwent a second randomization to receive subcutaneous injections of ustekinumab (90 mg) or placebo at weeks 8 and 16. The primary end point was a clinical response at 6 weeks. The proportions of patients who reached the primary end point were 36.6%, 34.1%, and 39.7% for 1, 3, and 6 mg of ustekinumab per kilogram, respectively, as compared with 23.5% for placebo (P=0.005 for the comparison with the 6-mg group). The rate of clinical remission with the 6-mg dose did not differ significantly from the rate with placebo at 6 weeks. Maintenance therapy with ustekinumab, as compared with placebo, resulted in significantly increased rates of clinical remission (41.7% vs. 27.4%, P=0.03) and response (69.4% vs. 42.5%, P<0.001) at 22 weeks. Serious infections occurred in 7 patients (6 receiving ustekinumab) during induction and 11 patients (4 receiving ustekinumab) during maintenance. Basal-cell carcinoma developed in 1 patient receiving ustekinumab. Patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease that was resistant to TNF antagonists had an increased rate of response to induction with ustekinumab, as compared with placebo. Patients with an initial response to ustekinumab had significantly increased rates of response and remission with ustekinumab as maintenance therapy.
