Background: Adalimumab biosimilar MSB11022 (Idacio®) has been approved for the same indications as its originator (Humira®), based on findings from clinical trials in plaque psoriasis. Data on its efficacy and safety in inflammatory bowel disease, however, are scarce.

Methods: Retrospective, observational study of 44 patients with inflammatory bowel disease: 30 were treated with originator adalimumab, five were directly started on MSB11022, and nine switched from originator to biosimilar adalimumab.

Objective: High body mass index (BMI) may reduce ulcerative colitis (UC) treatment efficacy. Etrasimod is an oral, once-daily (QD), selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P)1,4,5 receptor modulator for the treatment of moderately to severely active UC. This post hoc analysis assessed treatment outcomes according to BMI in ELEVATE UC 52 and ELEVATE UC 12.

Objectives: Mucosal healing (MH) is a key therapeutic target in Crohn's disease (CD) and is associated with improved outcomes. While adult studies indicate a positive correlation between serum anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) levels and MH, data in pediatric patients is limited. We aimed to define the association of serum anti-TNF levels with MH in pediatric patients with CD during maintenance therapy.

Usefulness of Novel Image-Enhanced Endoscopy for Predicting Maintenance of Clinical Remission in Ulcerative Colitis.

Purpose: The performance of endoscopic evaluation of ulcerative colitis (UC) using conventional scoring, including Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES) and ulcerative colitis endoscopic index of severity (UCEIS), is not satisfactory. Recently, the usefulness of novel image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE) such as texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) and red dichromatic imaging (RDI) has been reported in the endoscopic evaluation of UC. We evaluated the performance of IEEs in UC, particularly focusing on the correlation with MES and UCEIS, and prediction of relapse.

Electronic address:

Objectives: Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an established treatment for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (R-CDI). This study aimed to identify calprotectin and microbiome characteristics as potential biomarkers of FMT success.

Methods: We conducted a prospective study of patients who underwent oral FMT (single dose of 4-5 capsules) for R-CDI (January 2018 to December 2022).
