1 23/6/214 What are the Unmet Needs in the Management of IBD? Shane Devlin, MD, FRCPC Inflammatory Bowel Disease Group The University of Calgary Some Real Cases: #1 32 yo male with pan UC. Grumbling phenotype with 8 BM per day with blood 75% of the time, modestly elevated CRP Poor quality of life No clinical or endoscopic response to dose escalated infliximab, weekly adalimumab and now failing golimumab Some Real Cases: #2 42 yo female with ileal and pan colonic CD Prior ileo-cecal resection in 29 Induction and maintenance infliximab in 21 Developed delayed type hypersensitivity reaction to infliximab in 212 Switched to adalimumab with incomplete response, but recently developed severe psoriaform lesions that are not responding to topical or UV therapy 1

2 23/6/214 Some Real Cases: #3 78 yo male patient Multiple comorbidities Newly diagnosed steroid dependent pan ulcerative colitis, non responsive to 5-ASA Sonic Sonic Episodic Combination Therapy

3 23/6/ Sonic Maintenance Combination Therapy Sonic Monotherapy? (esp. Humira) Sonic HSTCL Monotherapy?

4 23/6/ Sonic Earlier Use Sonic Combo Therapy Mucosal Healing Anti TNF for UC Sonic Combo Therapy Mucosal Healing Infliximab for UC and Beyond TDM Golimumab and 21 Adalimumab for UC 29 4

5 23/6/214 y Maximize the Use of Anti TNF Therapy Yet.We have unmet needs IBD is a serious, systemic disease Primary non-response Inadequate response Secondary loss of response due to a variety of mechanisms Intolerance due to adverse events Ongoing steroid use The Requirement for Colectomy in IBD remains Higher than we d like Colectomy rates in meta analysis of 3 population based studies Colectomy rate U C 4.9% 16.3% 11.6% 33.3% 15.6% 46.6% 1 year 5 year 1 year Frolkis et al.

N Eng J Med 21; 362: In Summary IBD is a serious systemic condition with significant potential complications Anti TNF therapy has, and will continue to markedly enhance our ability to treat patients with a view to affecting a longer term change in disease course However, more than 1 years of wide-spread use has taught us the limitations and heightened our awareness of a need for alternative therapies Loss of response, continued steroid use, systemic effects remain relevant concerns There is considerable room to improve upon as we continue to strive for the safest and most efficacious treatments for our patients with IBD. 12
