Abstract | Background: Ulcerative proctitis (UP), though associated with high symptom burden and poor quality of life, is excluded from most of the randomized controlled trials in UC, including the OCTAVE trials. We aimed to analyse the effectiveness of tofacitinib in UP, and compare it to that in left sided colitis (LSC) and pancolitis (PC). Methods: This was a prospective cohort study. Patients with either steroid-dependent or refractory ulcerative colitis, who received tofacitinib, were divided into three groups based on the disease extent [UP, LSC and PC]. The primary outcome was comparison of proportion of patients in clinical remission in the three groups, at weeks 8, 16 and 48. Safety outcomes were reported using incidence rate per patient year of exposure. Results: Clinical remission was achieved in 47%(15/32), 24%(23/94), and 43%(23/54) of patients at week 8, 56%(18/32), 37%(35/94), and 56%(30/54) of patients at week 16, and 59%(19/32), 38%(36/94), and 24%(13/54) of patients at week 48 in groups UP, LSC and PC, respectively. Corticosteroid-free clinical remission rates were significantly higher in patients in groups UP at week 48. Five (15%) patients with UP were primary non-responders to tofacitinib at week 16, while three (9%) patients had secondary loss of response at week 48. The probability of sustained clinical response was highest in patients with UP. Patients with UP had the lowest incidence of adverse effects. Conclusion: The effectiveness of tofacitinib in inducing and maintaining clinical remission is greater in patients with UP compared to LSC and PC. |
