Blocking Smad7 restores TGF-β1 signaling in chronic inflammatory bowel disease

TL;DR: It is shown that Smad7 blockade of TGF-beta1 signaling helps maintain the chronic production of proinflammatory cytokines that drives the inflammatory process in IBD and that inhibition of Smad 7 enables endogenous TGF -beta to downregulate this response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictors of anti-TNF treatment failure in anti-TNF-naive patients with active luminal Crohn's disease: a prospective, multicentre, cohort study

Nicholas A. Kennedy, +160 more
TL;DR: Clinical and pharmacokinetic factors that predict primary non-response at week 14 after starting treatment, non-remission at week 54, and adverse events leading to drug withdrawal are identified.

HLA-DQA1*05 Carriage Associated With Development of Anti-Drug Antibodies to Infliximab and Adalimumab in Patients With Crohn's Disease

Aleksejs Sazonovs, +159 more
- 07 Oct 2019 - 
TL;DR: In an observational study, a genome-wide significant association between HLA-DQA1*05 and the development of antibodies against anti-TNF agents is found and a randomized controlled biomarker trial is required to determine whether pretreatment testing for HLA*05 improves patient outcomes by helping physicians select anti- TNF and combination therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-inflammatory and growth-stimulating effects precede nutritional restitution during enteral feeding in Crohn disease.

TL;DR: Early increases in IGF-I during treatment of Crohn disease are attributable to the anti-inflammatory effect of the enteral feed rather than nutritional restitution.
