Abstrakt: Background and Aims: Ritlecitinib, an oral JAK3/TEC family kinase inhibitor, was well-tolerated and efficacious in the phase 2b VIBRATO study in participants with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis [UC]. The aim of this study was to identify baseline serum and microbiome markers that predict subsequent clinical efficacy and to develop noninvasive serum signatures as potential real-time noninvasive surrogates of clinical efficacy after ritlecitinib.
Methods: Tissue and peripheral blood proteomics, transcriptomics, and faecal metagenomics were performed on samples before and after 8 weeks of oral ritlecitinib induction therapy [20 mg, 70 mg, 200 mg, or placebo once daily, N = 39, 41, 33, and 18, respectively]. Linear mixed models were used to identify baseline and longitudinal protein markers associated with efficacy. The combined predictivity of these proteins was evaluated using a logistic model with permuted efficacy data. Differential expression of faecal metagenomics was used to differentiate responders and nonresponders.
Results: Peripheral blood serum proteomics identified four baseline serum markers [LTA, CCL21, HLA-E, MEGF10] predictive of modified clinical remission [MR], endoscopic improvement [EI], histological remission [HR], and integrative score of tissue molecular improvement. In responders, 37 serum proteins significantly changed at Week 8 compared with baseline [false discovery rate of <0.05]; of these, changes in four [IL4R, TNFRSF4, SPINK4, and LAIR-1] predicted concurrent EI and HR responses. Faecal metagenomics analysis revealed baseline and treatment response signatures that correlated with EI, MR, and tissue molecular improvement.
Conclusions: Blood and microbiome biomarkers stratify endoscopic, histological, and tissue molecular responses to ritlecitinib, which may help guide future precision medicine approaches to UC treatment. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02958865.
