2 Goals of Treatment Patient feels better Achieving clinical remission Improving outcomes Prevent further flare ups Prevent need for surgeries due to IBD complications 10/10/2018 CCF Best Practices in IBD Management 2

3 How do we treat patients Individualize treatment based on disease severity, phenotype, possibly genotype in the future, response to treatment and achievement of goals Patient's return to normal, functional bowel habits, eating, lack of abdominal pain Drug level testing to help guide dosing or treatment plan 10/10/2018 CCF Best Practices in IBD Management 3

7 Specialty Medicine with Commitment, Care and Compassion Local Anti-inflammatory Therapy 10/10/2018 CCF Best Practices in IBD Management 7

8 Local Anti-inflammatory Therapy Aminosalicylates Antibiotics 10/10/2018 8

9 Aminosalicylates Contain 5-aminosalicyclic acid (5-ASA) Sulfasalazine 5-ASA bonded to sulfapyridine Mesalamine 5-ASA Asacol, Delzicol Pentasa Apriso Lialda Rowasa enema, Canasa suppository Balsalazide Olsalazine Baseline BMP, UA and 3-6 months after starting treatment repeat and may consider repeating thereafter annually 10/10/2018 9

10 Aminosalicylates: Possible AEs Sulfasalazine DRESS (drug reaction with eosinophilia, systemic symptoms) Rash GI upset; nausea, dyspepsia Reversible oligospermia Leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia Abnormal LFTs Mesalamine GI upset; nausea, dyspepsia Stevens-Johnson syndrome Interstitial nephritis Abnormal LFTs Lupus like syndrome Pancreatitis Headache Photosensitivity STOP THE MEDICATION 10/10/

11 Antibiotics-Treatment of Complications Indication Antibiotics Evidence Crohn's anorectal disease Metronidazole +/- Ciprofloxacin Crohn's related complication: abscess/infect ion Fulminant, severe UC with signs of toxicity Fluoroquinolones or cephalosporins + metronidazole ACOG Guidelines 2009 ACOG Guidelines 2009 De Groof EJ et al; Dig Dis 2014 Broad spectrum antibiotics ACOG Guidelines /10/

12 Aminosalicylates in CD Agent Comparative agent End point Efficacy Caveat Sulfasalazine Placebo Induction of CR + trend, nonsignfiicant Sulfasalzine Corticosteroid Induction of CR AE s Inferior lower Olsalazine Placebo Inferior CD High dose mesalamine High dose mesalamine We cannot rely on aminosalicylates to treat Crohn s disease Placebo Corticosteroid, budesonide Induction of clinical response or remission Induction of clinical response or remission Not superior inferior Crohn s colitis only CD CD CD 10/10/2018 Lim et al CDSR

13 Aminosalicylates in UC Aminosalicylates can be effective in mild to moderate UC Agent Comparative agent End point Sulfasalzine 5-ASA Induction of UC Maintenance of UC 5-ASA Placebo Induction of UC Maintenance of UC Efficacy 58% failed to enter CR vs. 54% 5-ASA 41% relapse sulfasalazine vs. 48% 5-ASA 71% 5-ASA failed to enter CR vs. 83% placebo 41% relapse on 5ASA, 58% relapse on placebo *These are all severity levels of UC patients in these studies, hence high rate of failure to induce CR and prevent relapse 10/10/2018 Wang et al CDSR

14 Steroids/Immunomodulators 10/10/

15 Corticosteroids Immunomodulators 10/10/

16 Corticosteroids Prednisone No grapefruit juice: increases bioavailability of budesonide, 54% CR in UC, 30% partial remission, 16% no response 1 -Budesonide increasing possible side effects Entocort: Ileum, AC (delayed release)-crohn's Uceris: Colon (extended release)-9 mg daily pill or rectal foam 2 mg bid x 2 weeks and 2 mg daily for 4 weeks or rectal enema 2 mg daily x 4 weeks at bedtime CR in UC 18% vs. placebo 6% 10/10/ Faubion et al; WJG

17 Corticosteroids: AEs Osteoporosis Increased risk when taking > 7.5 mg prednisone x 3 months cumulatively Hyperglycemia Hypertension Mood lability Insomnia Glaucoma Fluid retention Acne Skin thinning Adrenal suppression PUD/Esophagitis Muscle wasting Wound healing impairment Aseptic necrosis-hips Increased risks of infection Short term medication to quickly induce remission WHILE working on better long term therapy. "Band-Aid' Decrease to lowest effective dose and taper once patient is on long term therapy 10/10/ Faubion et al; WJG

18 Immunomodulators Thiopurines Methotrexate Cyclosporine 10/10/

19 Thiopurines Disease Steroid free remission Adverse Effects Moderate to severe UC Induction of remission: ineffective Maintenance of remission:21% lower risk of relapse compared to placebo Moderate to severe CD Week 26: 57% infliximab + azathoprine 44% infliximab alone 30% azathioprine alone Nausea/Vomiting Fatigue Increased risk of infection Rash Pancreatitis Bone marrow suppression Hepatotoxicity Lymphoma (3/10k- >>6/10k) Skin cancer 10/10/

20 Thiopurine Pearls Azathioprine ( mg/kg/day: UC & CD), Mercaptopurine ( mg/kg/day: CD, off label for UC-50 mg/day initial and then mg/kg/day) May take up to 3 months to get full effect Reduce dose of thiopurine (by 1/3-1/4th) when given with allopurinol May affect warfarin on INR effect Check CBC, LFTs 1-2 weeks after starting medication, then q3-6 months thereafter if labs are normal Check TPMT genotype (don't give to homozygous deficiency, heterozygotes: reduce by 1/3-2/3 dose) or phenotype to dose accurately Azathioprine --> 6MP --> 6TG and 6-TU or 6-MMP (by TPMT). High 6- MMP levels predict hepatotoxicity. Need to adjust dosing based on TPMT Enzyme a ctivity. 10/10/

21 Methotrexate CD Effective mono-therapy for steroid free CR at week 16; TX 25 mg IM weekly CD: 39% CR vs. 19% placebo Fegan et al; NEJM 1995 UC Not effective mono-therapy Carbonel et al;gastro 2016 Possible AEs N/V, Diarrhea, headache, fatigue Rash Pulmonary fibrosis Hepatotoxicity, Check baseline CXR, LFTs, CBC and consider monitoring annually 10/10/

22 Cyclosporine Used for severe, hospitalized UC patients Need inpatient nurses and facility that is familiar in running frequent drug levels and also monitoring for AE's. 10/10/
