PURPOSE: Intestinal Behcet's disease (BD) is a systemic autoimmune disease for which treatment options are limited. As a prospective therapeutic strategy for intestinal BD, anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (anti-TNF-α) agents have received increasing attention. In this study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-TNF-α agents for patients with intestinal BD.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases up to July 1, 2021 and articles that met the eligibility criteria were further assessed. Pooled rates were synthesized by a randomized effects model using Stata software.
RESULTS: Eleven clinical trials covering 671 patients with intestinal BD were included. According to compositive data, the pooled rate for remission was 39% [95% confidence interval (CI) 26-52] in patients receiving anti-TNF-α agents. Intestinal symptoms were cured in 70% (95% CI 53-84) of the patients, and the rate for endoscopic healing was 65% (95% CI 52-78). Corticosteroid discontinuation was achieved in 43% (95% CI 28-58) of the patients, and the dose reduction of corticosteroid was 20.43 mg (95% CI 13.4-27.46). There were 239 adverse events and 80 serious adverse events during follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Our study indicated that anti-TNF-α agents may serve as an effective treatment with acceptable safety for patients with intestinal BD. However, more robust evidence from randomized controlled trials is urgently needed to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of anti-TNF-α agents for those patients.
