Popis: BackgroundInfliximab (IFX) is an effective therapeutic option in the management of severe and refractory manifestations of Behçet’s syndrome (BS).ObjectivesWe aimed to evaluate long term drug survival of IFX in a large cohort of BS patients.MethodsWe reviewed the charts of BS patients who received IFX between 2004 and June 2021 and noted demographic features, reasons for IFX use, IFX duration, and reasons for discontinuation.Results371 patients (290 men, mean age at IFX initiation: 35.5 ± 10 years) received IFX for uveitis (n=164), vascular involvement (n=114), central nervous system (CNS) involvement (n=55), arthritis (n=19), gastrointestinal (GI) involvement (n=15), mucocutaneous involvement (n=10), venous ulcers (n=13), and secondary amyloidosis (n=1). Twenty patients had more than one type of involvement requiring IFX.During a median follow-up of 30 months (IQR: 13-52), 175 (47%) patients were still receiving IFX for a median period of 40 months (IQR: 22-66) while 196 (53%) patients had discontinued IFX after a median follow-up of 19 months (IQR: 8-34).IFX retention rate was 50% for mucocutaneous involvement, 43% for uveitis, 49% for vascular involvement, 58% for CNS involvement, 37% for arthritis, 53% for GI involvement, and 31% for venous ulcer (Table 1).Table 1.Drug survival of infliximab and reasons for infliximab discontinuationMucocutaneous involvement (n=10)Uveitis (n=164)Vascular (n=114)CNS (n=55)Arthritis (n=19)GIS (n=15)Venous ulcer (n=13)Male (n, %)3 (30)127 (77)89 (78)49 (89)14 (74)9 (60)12 (92)Age at infliximab initiation (mean ± SD years)35.8 ± 9.334 ± 9.936 ± 9.136.2 ± 10.439.6 ± 10.743 ± 14.137.4 ± 8.2Number of patients who used concomitant immunosuppressives (n, %)5 (50)108 (66)86 (75)38 (69)5 (26)11 (73)7 (54)Duration of infliximab use (mean ± SD months)33 ± 3845 ± 3828 ± 2337 ± 2837 ± 3526 ± 2625 ± 25Number of patients who discontinued infliximab (n, %)5 (50)93 (57)58 (51)23 (42)12 (63)7 (47)9 (69)Due to remission-30212121Due to primary inefficacy157---5Due to secondary inefficacy212545--Due to adverse event1231211541Due to noncompliance11113--2Due to other reasons-1212311-Reasons for discontinuation were adverse events in 56 (15%), remission in 54 (15%) patients, inefficacy in 45 (12%) (secondary inefficacy in 26 (7%), primary inefficacy in 19 (5%)), and lack of patient compliance in 18 (5%). Other reasons were preparation for surgical operation (n=4), pregnancy (n=4), lack of health insurance (n=4), preferring subcutaneous administration during the pandemic (n=3), due to prison sentence (n=3), willing to get pregnant (n=1), rejecting the treatment (n=1), and death (n=3).Adverse events (n=56) leading to the cessation of IFX were infusion reactions (n=22), infections (n=7), tuberculosis (n=6), malignancy (n=6), palmoplantar psoriasis (n=5), hepatotoxicity (n=4), lichen planus (n=1), drug induced lupus (n=1), auricular chondritis (n=1), macrophage activation syndrome (n=1), splenic infarction (n=1) and a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (n=1).At the end of the follow-up, 2 patients had died due to lung adenocarcinoma, 1 patient had died due to pneumosepsis, 1 due to severe parenchymal neurologic involvement and 1 with pulmonary artery involvement due to massive hemorrhage during IFX treatment. Additionally, 7 patients had died 9, 10 months, 3, 3, 4, 7 and 9 years after IFX discontinuation. The causes of death were severe nervous system involvement in 2 patients, right heart failure due to pulmonary hypertension, laryngeal adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, sepsis and gastrointestinal bleeding in 1 patient each.ConclusionIFX seems to be effective for the treatment of organ and life-threatening manifestations in the majority of the patients. However, drug retention rate was not optimal, mainly due to adverse events, inefficacy and patient non-compliance.Disclosure of InterestsSinem Nihal Esatoglu Speakers bureau: Sinem Nihal Esatoglu has received honorariums for presentations from UCB Pharma, Roche, Pfizer, and Merck Sharp Dohme, Beyza Tukek: None declared, Sitki Safa Taflan: None declared, Yilmaz Ozyazgan: None declared, Didar Ucar: None declared, Vedat Hamuryudan Speakers bureau: Vedat Hamuryudan has served as a speaker for AbbVie, Celgene, Novartis, and UCB Pharma, Grant/research support from: Vedat Hamuryudan has received grant/research support from Celgene., Yesim Ozguler Speakers bureau: Yesim Ozguler has received honorariums for presentations from UCB Pharma, Novartis, and Pfizer., Emire Seyahi Speakers bureau: Emire Seyahi has received honorariums for presentations from Novartis, Pfizer, AbbVie, and Gliead, Melike Melikoglu: None declared, Ugur Uygunoglu Speakers bureau: Ugur Uygunoglu has received speaker fees from F Hoffmann La-Roche, F Hoffmann La-Roche, Bayer, Merck-Serono, Novartis, Teva, and Biogen Idec/Gen Pharma of Turkey, Consultant of: Ugur Uygunoglu has received advisory board honorariums from F Hoffmann La-Roche, F Hoffmann La-Roche, Bayer, Merck-Serono, Novartis, Teva, and Biogen Idec/Gen Pharma of Turkey, Aksel Siva Speakers bureau: Aksel Siva received honorariums from Teva for speaking engagements., Consultant of: Aksel Siva received honorariums from Bayer-Schering AG, Biogen/Gen Ilac of Turkey, Genzyme, Merck-Serono, and Roche for consulting, fees from Novartis as a consultant and advisory committee member,., Grant/research support from: Aksel Siva received travel and registration reimbursements from Genzyme., Zekayi Kutlubay: None declared, Izzet Fresko: None declared, Sebahattin Yurdakul: None declared, Hasan Yazici: None declared, Gulen Hatemi Speakers bureau: Gulen Hatemi has served as a speaker for AbbVie, Celgene, Novartis, and UCB Pharma., Grant/research support from: Gulen Hatemi has received grant/research support from Celgene.
