Abstract

Summary: Background: One‐third of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) receiving anti‐TNF s do not respond to treatment, and a relevant proportion experience loss of response or intolerance. Aim: To investigate the efficacy and safety of a second anti‐TNF agent after primary/secondary failure or intolerance to a first drug. Methods: Inclusion criteria: studies evaluating the efficacy of infliximab (IFX), adalimumab (ADA) and certolizumab‐pegol (CZP) as the second anti‐TNF in CD or UC. Search strategy: Bibliographical searches (PubMed/Embase). Data synthesis: percentage of response/remission; the meta‐analysis was performed using the inverse variance method. Results: We included 46 studies (37 CD, 8 UC, 1 pouchitis). The CD studies comprised 32 switching IFX→ADA, 4 IFX→CZP and 1 ADA→IFX. Overall, the second anti‐TNF after the failure of IFX in CD induced remission in 43% and response in 63% of patients. The remission rate was higher when the reason to withdraw the first anti‐TNF was intolerance (61%) than after secondary (45%) or primary failure (30%); response rates were, respectively, 72%, 62% and 53%. All UC studies switched IFX→ADA, six of them reporting remission rates ranging from 0% to 50%. Adverse events rate ranged from 0% to 81% in CD, most of them mild (serious adverse event 0–21%, discontinuation rate <20%). Conclusions: The efficacy of a second anti‐TNF in CD patients largely depends on the cause for switching. The remission rate is higher when the reason to withdraw the first anti‐TNF is intolerance (61%), compared with secondary (45%) or primary failure (30%). Further studies of switch ADA→IFX are needed to evaluate this strategy. PROSPERO‐registry‐number: CRD42014012943.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
