Recent exposure-response relationship studies have revealed a positive correlation between high serum ustekinumab concentration and favorable therapeutic outcomes, although there are no data regarding fistulizing CD.

Objective: To define the therapeutic window for adequate serum ustekinumab concentration associated with fistula healing following induction therapy in patients with active fistulizing CD.

Study Design: Post-hoc analysis of the CERTIFI, UNITI-1 and UNITI-2 randomized controlled trials.

Participants: Patients with active fistulizing CD who were assessed for a fistula response following ustekinumab induction therapy and had a TDM (n=150).

Main outcome measure(s): Association between ustekinumab concentration at week 8 with complete fistula resolution and primary non-response at week 8.

Statistical Analysis: Descriptive statistics will be provided with medians and interquartile range for continuous variables and frequency and percentage for categorical variables. A receiver operating characteristic analysis will be performed for infliximab concentrations to trace thresholds associated with outcomes of interest. Ustekinumab concentrations will be compared between groups with the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis test, as appropriate. Univariate and multivariate analyses will be performed to identify variables associated with outcomes of interest."

As pharmacological treatment options in patients with fistulizing CD remain limited, emphasis has to be given to rational decision-making and optimization of therapies utilizing a TDM-based therapeutic approach. This project by defining the adequate drug concentration for better therapeutic outcomes can be the first step for the application of reactive and proactive TDM towards a more personalized ustekinumab therapy in patients with fistulizing CD. This could potentially improve care and reduce the substantial social and economic burden to the community by preventing future CD-related hospitalizations and surgeries."
