Early Intestinal Ultrasound in Predicting Treatment Response to Filgotinib in Ulcerative Colitis

Summary

Objective disease assessment in inflammatory bowel diseases at the time of treatment initiation and during follow-up has become gold standard. However, biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin, fail to provide information on disease extent, location or complications. Repeated endoscopic assessments are performed to evaluate mucosal response to treatment, though associated costs, availability, invasiveness and patient preference are considerable limitations. Recently, intestinal ultrasound (IUS) has gained significant momentum as a non-invasive, easily accessible and low-cost alternative for objective assessment. Accordingly, the ECCO-ESGAR guideline recognizes IUS as a potential tool for the diagnosis and for the monitoring of IBD.

Our study aim is to evaluate the change in intestinal ultrasound parameters (as measured by B-mode and SWE at baseline and week 4) to predict endoscopic response and remission as defined by the follow-up endoscopy and measured by the Mayo endoscopic subscore and the UCEIS during treatment with filgotinib
