Vedolizumab is indicated for the treatment of chronic pouchitis in the EU. We assessed whether vedolizumab induced mucosal healing (MH) and if MH was associated with clinical improvements. 

Mucosal Healing With Vedolizumab in Patients with Chronic Pouchitis: EARNEST, a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial


 
 
Ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is a surgical procedure conducted in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) with medically refractory disease; in patients with the autosomal dominant inherited disease familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP); or in patients who have experienced dysplasia/colon cancer. The procedure aids in the management of these diseases, improves patients’ quality of life, prevents the need for a permanent stoma, and reduces the risk of colorectal cancer. A common complication from IPAA is pouchitis, which is characterized as an idiopathic non-specific inflammation within the created pouch resulting in symptoms including increased frequency of bowel movements and abdominal pain. Pouchitis is much more common in patients treated for UC (up to 60%) than in those receiving treatment for other indications (0-10%). This might be due to immune activation or dysbiosis in these patients. 
 
 


Management of pouchitis: Clinical pearls for the gastroenterologist

Introducción: La endoscopia juega un papel fundamental en la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII), y se hace esencial en el diagnóstico, monitoreo del tratamiento, y detección y manejo de complicaciones. Materiales y métodos: la Organización Panamericana de Crohn y Colitis (PANCCO) la Sociedad Interamericana de endoscopia (SIED) designó 22 expertos latinoamericanos en EII para desarrollar un estudio de consenso utilizando el método Delphi modificado, basado utilizando la mejor evidencia disponible. Un grupo de trabajo de 22 miembros de 9 países, se identificaron 15 temas y formularon 98 declaraciones, quienes participaron en 2 rondas de votación. Se definió como el acuerdo de ≥80% de los expertos para cada declaración. Resultados: Posterior a la votación de todas las afirmaciones, se obtuvieron 8 afirmaciones que no alcanzaron el 80% de consenso entre los participantes, por lo cual se replantearon las preguntas en el Comité Coordinador del consenso con la participación de los expertos revisores de dichas preguntas y se sometieron de nuevo a votación por todos los expertos en una segunda ronda 7 afirmaciones finales y 1 fue eliminada con consenso. Después de dos rondas de votación, los expertos lograron consenso con revisión de la literatura con la mejor evidencia disponible, se desarrollaron los temas más importantes con la evidencia científica que soporta cada una de las afirmaciones alrededor del tema de endoscopia en EII. Conclusiones: Se desarrollaron declaraciones en consenso y basadas en la mejor evidencia disponible acerca de la endoscopia en enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal.
