Patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) who have not responded despite a full and adequate course of therapy with a corticosteroid and an immunosuppressant (azathioprine \[AZA\]/ 6-mercaptopurine \[6-MP\]); or who are intolerant to or have medical contraindications for such therapies and are hence prescribed adalimumab for the treatment of moderate to severely active UC.

Alexander Dorr, MD

The objectives of this study are to explore the fecal calprotectin (fC) levels of UC patients under adalimumab therapy and the correlation with their general wellbeing (Quality of Life \[QoL\]), workability, and disease activity.

This is a non-interventional, observational study in which Humira (adalimumab) is prescribed in the usual manner in accordance with the terms of the local marketing authorization with regards to dose, population and indication. The assignment of the patient to a adalimumab containing regimen has to be decided in advance and has to be current practice. The prescription of adalimumab is clearly separated from the decision to include the participant in this study.

Fecal calprotectin (fC) is a non-invasive surrogate marker of inflammation in the small intestine and levels below 250 ug/g is associated with mucosal healing. fC levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and/or a validated quantitative rapid test. The study was terminated due to low enrollment. Although no meaningful analysis can be presented, data for subjects with available data for fC levels at Month 12 at the end of study (termination) are provided.

The WPAI:UC is a questionnaire used to evaluate lost productivity (work time missed and work and activity impairment) during the past 7 days due to UC. The scores are presented as percentages (multiplying the scores by 100), with 0% representing no impact on productivity and 100% representing complete impact on productivity. Change in WPAI-UC is calculated by deducting the final score from the baseline score. Increased (positive) scores correspond to a reduction in the percentage of lost work productivity.

The sIBDQ is a disease-specific health-related quality of life (QoL) questionnaire, able to detect and define meaningful clinical changes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients by measuring physical, social and emotional status. The sIBDQ consists of 10 questions, each question is scored on a scale from 1 (poor QoL) to 7 (good QoL). The scores are summed up and divided by 10 for a mean score ranging from 1 (poor QoL) to 7 (good QoL). Increased scores correspond to an improvement in QoL.

A partial mayo score (mayo score without endoscopy) ranges from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 9 (severe disease) and calculated as the sum of 3 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding and physician's global assessment \[PGA\]).

fC is a non-invasive surrogate marker of inflammation in the small intestine and levels below 250 ug/g is associated with mucosal healing. fC levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and/or a validated quantitative rapid test. A total of 8 participants had fC baseline data available.

Fecal calprotectin (fC) levels at baseline

All enrolled participants with demographic and baseline data available.

The study was terminated due to low enrollment; therefore, safety and efficacy data should be interpreted with caution because of the small number of participants and incomplete data.
