Most recently, data has been presented on the effect of BMI on the safety and efficacy of tofacitinib as seen in OCTAVE 1,2 and SUSTAIN studies. The results revealed that patients with an elevated BMI did not demonstrate lower rates of clinical remission or mucosal healing and that BMI was not a significant predictor for any efficacy endpoint. The proposed study will evaluate, based on data from the UNITI maintenance study, whether BMI influences the effect of standard dosing Ustekinumab therapy in Crohns disease."

Despite recent meta analysis data suggesting that the effect of BMI is variable, there have been pharmacokinetic studies that reported underdosing, increased drug clearance and lower trough levels in obese patients. The effect of Ustekinumab (UST) has not been established.
Objectives: To establish the association of BMI on the efficacy of UST.
Study Design: UNITI 1/ 2 trials were 2 multicentre, double blinded, placebo-controlled trials that randomized patients to UST or placebo. and were then followed by the 44-week IM-UNITI trial for those who responded. This post-hoc study will assess BMI and UST efficacy.
Population:Patients will be those enrolled in the IM-UNITI trial.
Outcomes:Patients will be stratified into BMI groups as follows; BMI"
["project_brief_bg"]=>
string(1730) "The incidence and prevalence of obesity has increased worldwide with a concomitant rise in the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (1?3). Contrary to belief, approximately 15-40% of IBD patients have elevated body mass index (BMIs) (2). Observational as well as population based pharmacokinetic studies have provided insights on obesity and its effect on tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists (1?3). Patients who have an elevated BMI, particularly those who are morbidly obese, are less likely to receive optimal weight-appropriate therapy. Additionally, BMI may have an impact on increased drug clearance, resulting in short half-life and low trough drug concentrations. This effect might be related to rapid proteolysis and to a ?TNF sink? phenomenon in patients with obesity, whereby increased levels of adipose-secreted TNF sequester anti-TNF agents (1?3).
Recently, unpublished data has been presented with regards to the Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, Tofacitinib, and its relationship to BMI. This post hoc analysis of the OCTAVE studies revealed no relationship of BMI or weight on drug efficacy and safety and there were not significant predictors for mucosal healing, endpoints of remission and clinical response (4,5).
Ustekinumab (UST) is a monoclonal antibody that targets the standard p40 subunit of the cytokines IL-12 and IL-23 (IL12/23p40), which are involved in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD). UST was shown to be effective in inducing and maintaining clinical remission in CD patients with moderate to severe CD (6,7,8)
To our knowledge, there are no studies that have assessed the effect of weight or BMI on the efficacy of maintenance ustekinumab in Crohn's disease."

Project Title:
The Impact of Body Mass Index on the Efficacy of Ustekinumab in the IM-UNITI Trial
Scientific Abstract:
Background: Obesity has been reported as a predictor of poor response to anti-TNF agents in autoimmune disease. Despite recent meta analysis data suggesting that the effect of BMI is variable, there have been pharmacokinetic studies that reported underdosing, increased drug clearance and lower trough levels in obese patients. The effect of Ustekinumab (UST) has not been established.
Objectives: To establish the association of BMI on the efficacy of UST.
Study Design: UNITI 1/ 2 trials were 2 multicentre, double blinded, placebo-controlled trials that randomized patients to UST or placebo. and were then followed by the 44-week IM-UNITI trial for those who responded. This post-hoc study will assess BMI and UST efficacy.
Population:Patients will be those enrolled in the IM-UNITI trial.
Outcomes:Patients will be stratified into BMI groups as follows; BMI
Brief Project Background and Statement of Project Significance:
The incidence and prevalence of obesity has increased worldwide with a concomitant rise in the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (1?3). Contrary to belief, approximately 15-40% of IBD patients have elevated body mass index (BMIs) (2). Observational as well as population based pharmacokinetic studies have provided insights on obesity and its effect on tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists (1?3). Patients who have an elevated BMI, particularly those who are morbidly obese, are less likely to receive optimal weight-appropriate therapy. Additionally, BMI may have an impact on increased drug clearance, resulting in short half-life and low trough drug concentrations. This effect might be related to rapid proteolysis and to a ?TNF sink? phenomenon in patients with obesity, whereby increased levels of adipose-secreted TNF sequester anti-TNF agents (1?3).
Recently, unpublished data has been presented with regards to the Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, Tofacitinib, and its relationship to BMI. This post hoc analysis of the OCTAVE studies revealed no relationship of BMI or weight on drug efficacy and safety and there were not significant predictors for mucosal healing, endpoints of remission and clinical response (4,5).
Ustekinumab (UST) is a monoclonal antibody that targets the standard p40 subunit of the cytokines IL-12 and IL-23 (IL12/23p40), which are involved in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD). UST was shown to be effective in inducing and maintaining clinical remission in CD patients with moderate to severe CD (6,7,8)
To our knowledge, there are no studies that have assessed the effect of weight or BMI on the efficacy of maintenance ustekinumab in Crohn's disease.
Specific Aims of the Project:
This project aims to determine whether weight or BMI has an effect of the efficacy of ustekinumab based on data from the IM-UNITI study, i.e the maintenance phase of the UNITI trials.

Software Used:
Data Source and Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria to be used to define the patient sample for your study:
Data Source will be obtained from the UNITI-1, UNITI-2 induction trials and UNITI-IM maintenance trial.
Inclusion Criteria
Participants must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible for study inclusion:
? ?18 years of age
? CD for a minimum duration of 3 months
? Moderate-to-severe CD (defined as a Crohn?s Disease Activity Index [CDAI] score 220-450)
? Patients with response to ustekinumab in the UNITI 1 and 2 trials at 8 weeks
Exclusion Criteria
? Participants who meet any of the following criteria are not eligible for study inclusion:
? Bowel resection within 6 months
? Received infliximab, adalimumab or certolizumab pegol ?8 weeks before receiving study drug
? Ongoing chronic or recurrent infectious disease
? Previously received a biologic agent targeting IL-12 or IL-23
Primary and Secondary Outcome Measure(s) and how they will be categorized/defined for your study:
In IM-UNITI, the primary endpoint was clinical remission at week 44 (CDAIscore
Main Predictor/Independent Variable and how it will be categorized/defined for your study:
Body mass index (BMI) will be the main predictor variable. Patients will be stratified into BMI groups as follows; BMI
Other Variables of Interest that will be used in your analysis and how they will be categorized/defined for your study:
Statistical Analysis Plan:
Baseline data, such as patient demographics and disease characteristics, will be summarized using descriptive statistics. Continuous variables will be reported as means or medians with corresponding standard deviations or interquartile ranges, respectively.
Univariate and multivariate regression analyses will be used to evaluate possible associations between BMI (as a continuous or categorical variable) or weight, and efficacy outcomes of remission, mucosal healing, clinical response as in IM-UNITI.
Data from the YODA project will be accessed remotely in a secure environment by designated study investigators. Analyses with data provided by the YODA project will be conducted using the software available on the remote platform.
Narrative Summary:
The effect of body mass index on the efficacy of thiopurines, anti-TNF agents and surgery has been assessed with varying outcomes. Most recently, data has been presented on the effect of BMI on the safety and efficacy of tofacitinib as seen in OCTAVE 1,2 and SUSTAIN studies. The results revealed that patients with an elevated BMI did not demonstrate lower rates of clinical remission or mucosal healing and that BMI was not a significant predictor for any efficacy endpoint. The proposed study will evaluate, based on data from the UNITI maintenance study, whether BMI influences the effect of standard dosing Ustekinumab therapy in Crohns disease.
Project Timeline:
Date to Start Project: November ? January 2020.
Date to Complete Analysis: January 2020 ? February 2020.
Date to Draft Manuscript: February 2020 ? March 2020.
