    Abstract Background: There is a clinical need to improve the monitoring of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) activity. Despite being used regularly in European countries, intestinal ultrasound (IUS) has been implemented less in the United States for unclear reasons.
    Aims: The aim of this study is to illustrate how IUS can be used as a clinical decision-making tool in an American IBD cohort.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis evaluated patients with IBD seen at our institution who underwent IUS as part of routine evaluation of their IBD from July 2020 to March 2022. To evaluate the clinical utility of IUS for different patient populations and against more frequently used measures of inflammation, we compared patient demographics, inflammatory markers, clinical scores, and medications between patients in remission and those with active inflammation. Treatment plans between the 2 groups were compared and we analyzed patients with follow-up IUS visits to validate treatment plan decisions at initial evaluation.
    Results: Out of 148 total patients with IUS, we found that 62.1% (
    Conclusions: Clinical decisions incorporating IUS findings effectively reduced inflammation in our IBD patients. IUS should be strongly considered by IBD clinicians in the United States for monitoring disease activity in IBD.

    Abstract Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) offers a safe, noninvasive, point-of-care tool for diagnosing and monitoring disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IUS is used widely in Europe and Canada for IBD, but it remains underutilized in the United States. Growing interest in IUS in the United States has prompted many IBD centers to train their faculty in IUS. This, however, raises questions about how to effectively use this new tool in the United States, which does not use a social medicine model like those implemented in Europe and Canada. Here, we provide a practical framework for incorporating IUS in an IBD practice in the United States, including training requirements, equipment, and protocols for implementing IUS in daily practice.

    Abstract Objective: Therapeutic drug monitoring is used clinically to guide anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but its use for ustekinumab (UST) remains unclear. This study aimed to determine predictive variables of UST levels.
    Methods: In this retrospective cohort of patients with IBD, UST trough levels were drawn at maintenance dosing. Relationships between UST trough levels and demographics, therapy, and outcomes were analyzed. Machine-learning models were used to infer combinatorial traits predictive of UST levels.
    Results: Altogether 177 patients with IBD on UST had a mean UST trough level of 4.742 μg/mL. The injection schedule correlated significantly (P < 0.001) with UST levels. Naiveté to anti-TNFs correlated with higher UST levels (P = 0.048). Univariate analysis revealed that higher inflammatory biomarkers significantly correlated to lower UST levels and a lower Simple Endoscopic Score to Crohn's Disease to adequate UST levels (P = 0.018). Multivariate analysis identified body mass index (BMI), previous anti-TNF failure, and laboratory flare as predictors of UST levels with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.72. The UST cut-off level of 5.77 μg/mL yielded a 0.79 AUROC, 80% sensitivity, and 81% specificity for predicting endoscopic remission of Crohn's disease. For the clinical remission end-point in ulcerative colitis, UST level of 4.73 μg/mL yielded a 0.69 AUROC, 53% sensitivity, and 86% specificity.
    Conclusions: Higher UST levels correlated with less disease activity. BMI was an important consideration for UST response as well. Therefore, UST dose adjustments to reach target levels may optimize response.

    Abstract This review addresses appropriate patient selection for upadacitinib, a Janus kinase inhibitor approved by the FDA and EMA for treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Janus kinase molecules can contribute to the inflammatory pathway, so inhibiting certain of them may prove efficacious in treating UC and may reduce safety concerns. Upadacitinib is the newest Janus kinase inhibitor to be approved for UC, so it is timely and relevant to review patient selection and when to consider this medication. We will discuss efficacy and safety data from the pivotal clinical trials on upadacitinib. These data can be shared with patients and can inform the use of these agents in clinical practice.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients have a higher incidence of colon cancer than the general population. Colon cancer surveillance has traditionally involved taking numerous random biopsies to provide sufficient yield to detect dysplasia. Recently, consensus guidelines have been published which promote the use of chromoendoscopy for IBD colon cancer surveillance. This presents a new set of opportunities and challenges in the evaluation and management of dysplasia in IBD.
    Recent findings: Dysplasia, previously thought to be 'invisible' to the endoscopist, is now considered to be 'visible' in the majority of cases with the advent of the use of high-definition endoscopy and chromoendoscopy. This changes how we manage dysplastic lesions, providing the patient options for endoscopic resection rather than promoting total proctocolectomy.
    Summary: Implemention of chromoendoscopy may require additional training for endoscopists unfamiliar with the technique. However, if this proves to be cost-effective and provides a higher sensitivity in dysplasia detection, then widespread education and implementation will be well worth the efforts. To do so, future studies will need to prove its benefits in preventing or reducing colon cancer morbidity and mortality in this high-risk patient population.

    Abstract Patients with inflammatory bowel disease can present with a wide variety of symptoms. Most are related to disease activity and should be managed with appropriate medical therapy for inflammatory bowel disease. However, some patients may develop symptoms due to the side effects of the medications, or due to immunosuppression. In these cases, the offending medications should be discontinued until resolution of the symptoms and a few may be able to restart therapy. Symptoms can also occur as an extraintestinal manifestation of the disease or due to concomitant autoimmune-mediated disorders. Regardless of the etiology, symptoms should be addressed promptly with immediate evaluation and appropriate therapy, as a delay may lead to permanent sequela.

    Abstract Background: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk of infection. The aim of this study was to assess the cumulative incidence and risk of infection in patients with IBD treated with interleukin (IL)-targeting agents.
    Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science for randomized controlled trials including patients with IBD receiving IL-targeting agents compared with patients receiving placebo or treatment that only differed from the intervention arm in the absence of an IL-targeting agent. The primary outcome of interest was the relative risk (RR) of any-grade and severe infection during the induction phase.
    Results: There was no difference in risk of any-grade (RR, 0.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.89-1.09) or severe (RR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.38-1.10) infection in patients receiving any IL-targeting agent compared with the control group. During the maintenance period, the cumulative incidence of any-grade infection in patients receiving IL-12/23p40-targeting agents (mean follow-up 29 weeks) was 34.82% (95% CI, 26.78%-43.32%), while the cumulative incidence of severe infection was 3.07% (95% CI, 0.93%-6.21%). The cumulative incidence of any-grade infection in patients receiving IL-23p19-targeting agents (mean follow-up 40.9 weeks) was 32.16% (95% CI, 20.63%-44.88%), while the cumulative incidence of severe infection was 1.75% (95% CI, 0.60%-3.36%). During the maintenance phase of the included studies, the incidence of infection was 30.66% (95% CI, 22.12%-39.90%) for any-grade and 1.59% (95% CI, 0.76%-2.63%) for severe infection in patients in the control group.
    Conclusions: There was no difference in risk of infection between patients with IBD who received IL-targeting agents compared with the control group. Case registries and randomized controlled trials reporting the safety of IL inhibitors should provide detailed information about the risk of specific infectious complications in patients with IBD receiving IL-targeting agents.

    Abstract Background: Considerable research supports an important role for the microbiome and/or microbiome-host immune system interactions in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Consequently, microbiota-modulating interventions, such as fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), have attracted interest in the management of IBD, including ulcerative colitis (UC).
    Summary: While the clinical response to FMT in UC has varied between different studies, results to date may offer guidance toward optimal use of FMT. Thus, increased microbiome biodiversity, the presence of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, Clostridium clusters IV and XIVa, Odoribacter splanchnicus, and reduced levels of Caudovirales bacteriophages have been identified as characteristics of the donor microbiome that predict a positive response. However, inconsistency in FMT protocol between studies confounds their interpretation, so it is currently difficult to predict response and premature to recommend FMT, in general, as a treatment for UC. Additional randomized controlled trials designed based on previous findings and employing a standardized protocol are needed to define the role of FMT in the management of UC.
    Key messages: There is a well-developed rationale for the use of microbiome-modulating interventions in UC. Despite variations in study protocol and limitations in study design that confound their interpretation, FMT seems to benefit patients with UC, overall. Available data identify factors predicting FMT response and should lead to the development of optimal FMT study protocols.
