Objective: To identify factors predictive of response to infliximab (IFX), develop a prediction model and transform it into a clinical decision support tool to identify patients most, and least, likely to respond to these therapies
Study Design: Individual participant level pooled analysis of RCTs of IFX in patients with UC
Participants: Patients enrolled in phase III RCTs of IFX in moderate-severe UC
Main Outcome Measures: Clinical remission, endoscopic remission, and deep remission (clinical remission + endoscopic remission) at week 30
Statistical Analysis: We will use multivariable logistic regression to develop models predicting each of the three outcomes at week 30, then transform it into a single model, and develop a simple to use clinical decision support tool, by multiplying the ? coefficient by 10 and rounding to the nearest value. Overall performance of the models was evaluated using area under the ROC curve. This model will then be validated in an external real-world cohort, outside of the YODA platform." ["project_brief_bg"]=> string(1987) "Several biologic and small molecule therapies are available (or anticipated to be available soon) for the management of patients with moderate-severe UC. However, there is limited data to inform optimal positioning and personalization of these therapies. Clinical prediction models utilize baseline characteristics to provide an estimate of the value of a therapy on treatment outcomes for an individual patient. Furthermore, the transformation of these models into decision support tools facilitates their application as a component of ?precision medicine?. With the evolving landscape of biologic therapy in UC and increasing treatment choice, a validated prognostic tool for treatment outcomes with IFX would be of considerable value. We aim to address this gap by deriving and validating a multivariable clinical prediction model within the ACT-1 and ACT-2 clinical trial dataset. To improve the ease with which this prediction model can be used at the ?bedside?, we will transform it into a prognostic clinical decision support tool (CDST) and validated this tool in a cohort of UC patients treated with IFX in routine clinical practice. We have created a similar CDST to inform use of vedolizumab in patients with moderate-severe UC.
The significance of this work lies in developing and validating an easy-to-use CDST to identify patients with moderate-severe UC most, and least, likely to respond to infliximab. The information generated through this study would be invaluable to inform both science and patient care. From a scientific perspective, it will help identify clinical factors associated with response to infliximab, which can then be used to further understand how these drugs may be effective. From a clinical perspective, information generated from this study on treatment response to infliximab, will be generalizable and directly applicable to patient care, informing clinical guidelines and offering potential for promoting value-based in patients with UC."

Research Proposal

Project Title: Development of a Clinical Prediction Tool for Treatment Outcomes in Infliximab-treated Patients with Moderate-Severe Ulcerative Colitis

Scientific Abstract: Background: Clinical decision support tools Clinical prediction models provide insight into the impact of patient characteristics on treatment outcomes, allowing for a more personalized treatment.
Objective: To identify factors predictive of response to infliximab (IFX), develop a prediction model and transform it into a clinical decision support tool to identify patients most, and least, likely to respond to these therapies
Study Design: Individual participant level pooled analysis of RCTs of IFX in patients with UC
Participants: Patients enrolled in phase III RCTs of IFX in moderate-severe UC
Main Outcome Measures: Clinical remission, endoscopic remission, and deep remission (clinical remission + endoscopic remission) at week 30
Statistical Analysis: We will use multivariable logistic regression to develop models predicting each of the three outcomes at week 30, then transform it into a single model, and develop a simple to use clinical decision support tool, by multiplying the ? coefficient by 10 and rounding to the nearest value. Overall performance of the models was evaluated using area under the ROC curve. This model will then be validated in an external real-world cohort, outside of the YODA platform.

Brief Project Background and Statement of Project Significance: Several biologic and small molecule therapies are available (or anticipated to be available soon) for the management of patients with moderate-severe UC. However, there is limited data to inform optimal positioning and personalization of these therapies. Clinical prediction models utilize baseline characteristics to provide an estimate of the value of a therapy on treatment outcomes for an individual patient. Furthermore, the transformation of these models into decision support tools facilitates their application as a component of ?precision medicine?. With the evolving landscape of biologic therapy in UC and increasing treatment choice, a validated prognostic tool for treatment outcomes with IFX would be of considerable value. We aim to address this gap by deriving and validating a multivariable clinical prediction model within the ACT-1 and ACT-2 clinical trial dataset. To improve the ease with which this prediction model can be used at the ?bedside?, we will transform it into a prognostic clinical decision support tool (CDST) and validated this tool in a cohort of UC patients treated with IFX in routine clinical practice. We have created a similar CDST to inform use of vedolizumab in patients with moderate-severe UC.
The significance of this work lies in developing and validating an easy-to-use CDST to identify patients with moderate-severe UC most, and least, likely to respond to infliximab. The information generated through this study would be invaluable to inform both science and patient care. From a scientific perspective, it will help identify clinical factors associated with response to infliximab, which can then be used to further understand how these drugs may be effective. From a clinical perspective, information generated from this study on treatment response to infliximab, will be generalizable and directly applicable to patient care, informing clinical guidelines and offering potential for promoting value-based in patients with UC.

Specific Aims of the Project: Specific aim #1: To identify factors predictive of response to infliximab in patients with UC, through post-hoc analysis of phase III RCTs of IFX in UC.
Specific aim #2: To develop (and subsequently) validate a prediction model to identify patients with UC most, and least, likely to respond to IFX.
Hypothesis: Short disease duration, lower inflammatory burden and higher albumin are associated with increased likelihood of response to infliximab

Software Used:

Data Source and Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria to be used to define the patient sample for your study: Data sources:
? Trial of infliximab in ulcerative colitis (C0168T37, C0168T46, C0168T72)
Inclusion criteria:
? Patients (adults or pediatric) with moderate-severe ulcerative colitis (defined as Mayo Clinic score [MCS] of 6 to 12 points, with an endoscopic sub-score of 2 or 3)
? Treated with infliximab or placebo for induction and/or maintenance
Exclusion criteria
? Patients lost to follow-up or did not participate in trial after randomization (without receiving any dose of the medication)

Primary and Secondary Outcome Measure(s) and how they will be categorized/defined for your study: ? Primary outcome ? clinical remission (MCS?2, with no individual sub-score exceeding 1) at week 30
? Secondary outcomes ? clinical remission at week 8, endoscopic remission at week 8 and 30 (absolute endoscopy sub-score on MCS of 0 or 1), steroid-free remission at week 30

Main Predictor/Independent Variable and how it will be categorized/defined for your study: ? Main predictor/independent variable will be exposure to IFX vs. placebo

Other Variables of Interest that will be used in your analysis and how they will be categorized/defined for your study: Key confounding variables of interest in our study are:
o Biochemical measures of disease severity ? baseline C-reactive protein as a categorical variable (

Statistical Analysis Plan: A multivariable logistic regression prediction model will be built in the ACT-1 and -2 for the outcome of clinical remission at week 30. All baseline variables found to have a p value

Narrative Summary: Several biologic and small molecule therapies are available for the management of patients with moderate-severe ulcerative colitis (UC). However, there is limited data to inform optimal positioning and personalization of these therapies. We propose to identify factors predictive of response to infliximab, develop a prediction model and transform it into a simple to use prognostic clinical decision support tool to identify patients most, and least, likely to respond to these therapies. To develop the model, we will analyze phase III, placebo-controlled trials of infliximab in UC.
