Background: Ulcerative colitis patients who undergo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) without mucosectomy may develop inflammation of the rectal cuff (cuffitis). Treatment of cuffitis typically includes mesalamine suppositories or corticosteroids, but refractory cuffitis may necessitate advanced therapies or procedural interventions. This review aims to summarize the existing literature regarding treatments options for cuffitis.

Background And Objective: Cancer is one of the most difficult diseases facing modern medicine, and increasing amounts of research and clinical treatments are being applied to the treatment of cancer. Immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, has revolutionized the treatment and overall survival of patients with several different types of cancer. Approximately one-third of patients treated with ICIs may experience immune-related adverse events (irAEs).

Although biologics have been revolutionizing the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) over the past decade, a significant number of patients still fail to benefit from these drugs. Overcoming the nonresponse to biologics is one of the top challenges in IBD treatment. In this study, we revealed that hyaluronan (HA), an extracellular matrix (ECM) component in the gut, is associated with nonresponsiveness to infliximab and vedolizumab therapy in patients with IBD.

Article Synopsis
  • Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have transformed cancer treatment but can lead to rare and serious neurological side effects, such as chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO).
  • CIPO may be linked to T cell infiltration and presents with vague symptoms like nausea and constipation, complicating diagnosis and treatment.
  • In three cases treated with vedolizumab after corticosteroids failed, there was minimal improvement, suggesting vedolizumab is not an effective option for ICI-induced CIPO at this time.

Purpose: In ulcerative colitis (UC), anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents often are first-line biologic therapy. Switching to a biologic with a different mode of action (ustekinumab and vedolizumab) or cycling to another anti-TNF agent (adalimumab, infliximab, and golimumab) is necessary if an initial anti-TNF fails. This study compared real-world persistence in patients with UC who switched to a biologic with a different mode of action or cycled with another anti-TNF after nonresponse to an anti-TNF.
