BACKGROUND: We aimed to determine the correlation between tissue and plasma infliximab concentrations in an outpatient ulcerative colitis (UC) cohort based on histologic disease activity in addition to their relationship with long-term clinical outcomes. We assessed intraparticipant variability in infliximab concentrations between adjacent intestinal samples and the correlation between disease activity and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).
METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted in participants with UC receiving infliximab. Blood and 2 sigmoid colon biopsies were obtained at the index colonoscopy for infliximab and TNF-α quantification. Histological disease activity was assessed. Participants were followed for 2 years for the occurrence of hospitalization, surgery, disease relapse, and infliximab discontinuation.
RESULTS: A positive correlation was observed between mean plasma and uninflamed tissue infliximab concentrations only (Rs = 0.75, P = .0071). Lower mean tissue infliximab concentrations correlated with a shorter time to disease relapse vs those with higher mean tissue concentrations (Rs = 0.77, P = .032). This was not seen when using plasma infliximab concentrations. Additionally, no significant intraparticipant variability of infliximab concentrations was observed for all participants independent of disease activity. Neither plasma nor tissue TNF-α correlated with disease activity.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings support data generated in patients with Crohn's disease: plasma infliximab concentrations are reflective of infliximab exposure in tissue in the UC patient in remission, but not for those with active disease. Increasing tissue concentrations in the noninflamed tissues may improve durability of infliximab. Neither plasma nor tissue TNF-α appear to correlate with UC disease activity. Larger follow-up studies would be of benefit.
