Correlation of mucosal healing endpoints with long-term clinical and patient-reported outcomes in ulcerative colitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We evaluated the clinical relevance of achieving histologic endoscopic mucosal improvement (HEMI) and the more stringent target of histologic endoscopic mucosal remission (HEMR) in the phase 3 maintenance trial of upadacitinib for moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.

Methods

Clinical and patient-reported outcomes were assessed in patients with clinical response after 8- or 16-week upadacitinib induction who received 52-week upadacitinib maintenance treatment. Cross-sectional and predictive analyses evaluated the relationship between HEMR or HEMI at Week 8/16 and Week 52, respectively, and outcomes at Week 52. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) were derived from logistic regressions for patients achieving HEMR or HEMI without HEMR versus those not achieving HEMI.

Results

Cross-sectional analyses showed that patients with HEMR had greater odds of achieving all clinical and patient-reported outcomes at Week 52 than those not achieving HEMI. In predictive analyses, patients with HEMR at Week 8/16 had significantly greater odds of achieving clinical remission (aOR = 3.6, p = 0.001) and endoscopic remission (aOR = 3.9, p < 0.001) at Week 52 than patients not achieving HEMI and HEMR. For patients achieving HEMI without HEMR, these odds were lower: clinical remission (aOR = 3.2, p < 0.001) and endoscopic remission (aOR = 2.4, p = 0.010). The odds of achieving clinically meaningful improvements in most patient-reported outcomes were directionally similar between HEMI and HEMR, but not statistically different to patients not achieving HEMI. No hospitalizations or surgeries were observed in patients with HEMR at Week 52.

Conclusions

Achievement of HEMR or HEMI is clinically relevant with HEMR being associated with greater likelihood of improvement in long-term clinical and patient-reported outcomes. https://www.

Project description:Background & aimsLittle is known about the association between rectal bleeding and increased stool frequency with endoscopic findings in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis (UC). We evaluated the associations between rectal bleeding or stool frequency and endoscopic remission in this population.MethodsWe performed a post-hoc analysis of data from a phase 3 non-inferiority trial of 817 adults with mild to moderate UC who received treatment with mesalazine. We obtained information on rectal bleeding, stool frequency, and Mayo endoscopic subscores (MESs) at weeks 0, 8, and 38. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values with which rectal bleeding and stool frequency identified patients with MESs of 0 and/or 1 were calculated at weeks 8 and 38 of treatment. The associations between change in rectal bleeding and stool frequency and change in MES after treatment were quantified using the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.ResultsAmong patients with a MES of 0, 7/82 patients (9%) had a rectal bleeding score of 1 or more and 40/82 patients (49%) had a stool frequency score of 1 or more at week 8; at week 38, 6/167 patients (4%) had a rectal bleeding score of 1 or more and 63/167 patients (38%) had a stool frequency score of 1 or more. Among patients with MESs of 0 or 1, 50/310 patients (16%) had a rectal bleeding score of 1 or more and 162/310 patients (52%) had had a stool frequency score of 1 or more at week 8; at week 38, 18/363 patients (5%) had a rectal bleeding score of 1 or more and 141/363 patients (39%) had a stool frequency score of 1 or more. The Spearman rank correlation coefficients for change in rectal bleeding and stool frequency with change in MES at week 8 were 0.39 (95% CI, 0.32-0.45) and 0.34 (95% CI, 0.27-0.40), respectively. In patients with reduced MESs at week 8, 39/389 patients (10%) had unchanged or worsening rectal bleeding and 81/389 patients (21%) had unchanged or increasing stool frequencies.ConclusionsIn a post-hoc analysis of data from a phase 3 trial of adults with mild to moderate UC treated with mesalazine, we found absence of rectal bleeding to identify patients in endoscopic remission. However, many patients in remission still have increased stool frequency, indicating that it may not be a sensitive marker of disease activity in patients with mild to moderate UC.
