Ulcerative Colitis: Understanding

Ulcerative Colitis: Overview

Ulcerative colitis is an idiopathic inflammatory condition of the colon that results in diffuse friability and superficial erosions on the colonic wall associated with bleeding. It is the most common form of inflammatory bowel disease worldwide. It characteristically involves inflammation restricted to the mucosa and submucosa of the colon. Typically, the disease starts in the rectum and extends proximally in a continuous manner. In the United States, the disease accounts for a quarter-million provider visits annually, and medical costs directly related to the disease are estimated to exceed four billion dollars annually. The specific cause of inflammatory bowel disease is not known. There seems to be a primary genetic component since the most important independent risk factor is a family history of the disease (8% to 14% of patients). A first-degree relative of a patient with ulcerative colitis has a four times higher risk of developing the disease. Additionally, ulcerative colitis has a higher incidence in Jewish populations than other ethnicities. The pathophysiology of ulcerative colitis involves defects in the epithelial barrier, immune response, leukocyte recruitment, and microflora of the colon. The epithelial barrier has a defect in colonic mucin and possibly tight junctions, leading to increased uptake of luminal antigens. The lamina propria of the mucosa also has an increased number of activated and mature dendritic cells, which include a large number of toll-like receptors (TLR), specifically TLR2 and TLR4. There also seems to be an atypical T-helper (Th) cell response in patients with ulcerative colitis, specifically Th2, which exerts a cytotoxic response against epithelial cells. Leukocyte recruitment is affected on two fronts. There is an upregulated release of the chemoattractant CXCL8 in ulcerative colitis so that leukocytes are recruited to the mucosa from systemic circulation. Additionally, there is an upregulation of mucosal cellular adhesion molecule-1 (Mad-CAM1) on the endothelium of mucosal blood vessels, which promotes leukocyte adhesion and extravasation into mucosal tissue. Studies have shown that enteric microflora is important in the pathogenesis and severity of inflammation and disease phenotype. Ulcerative colitis seems also to result, in part, from a homeostatic imbalance between enteric microflora and the host's mucosal immunity. This results in an aberrant response to non-pathogenic bacteria.

Ulcerative colitis is diagnosed clinically with supportive findings on endoscopy, biopsy, and negative stool examination for infectious causes. Radiologic examinations are not critical for diagnosis but may be useful. Colonoscopy or proctosigmoidoscopy might reveal loss of typical vascular pattern, granularity, friability, and ulceration, which involve the distal rectum and proceed proximally in a symmetric, continuous, and circumferential pattern. Laboratory evaluation will usually reveal an increase in inflammatory factors, especially during an acute flare. An endoscopy (colonoscopy) must be done at some point which will reveal fragile mucosa, granular mucosa, loss of vascular pattern, presence of erosions and pseudopolyposis. Multiple biopsies should be obtained to confirm the diagnosis. The most common classification system used to determine the extent and severity of the disease is the Montreal classification system. Treatment choice for patients with ulcerative colitis is based on both the extent of the disease and the severity. The prognosis during the first decade after diagnosis is often generally good, and most patients go into remission. Rectal application of medical therapy, via suppository or enema, is usually appropriate for isolated distal disease (proctitis); however, a rectal application is usually used in combination with systemic therapy to help target the distal colon and, therefore, decrease tenesmus. Ulcerative colitis can be treated with medications such as aminosalicylates, glucocorticoids, thiopurines, and biological drugs. Probiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation may also be helpful. Colectomy is curative in patients with ulcerative colitis. Colonoscopy is recommended at regular intervals due to the risk of colon cancer. There is no specific diet for patients with ulcerative colitis, but lactose intolerance is common.

Ulcerative Colitis Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Ulcerative Colitis report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Ulcerative Colitis Emerging Drugs

• Obefazimod: Abivax

Obefazimod is an oral small-molecule drug candidate in clinical development for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) and has demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity in preclinical studies and in both Phase IIa and Phase IIb clinical trials. Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

• ABBV-668: AbbVie

ABBV-668 is under development for the treatment of crohn's disease, unspecified immunological disorders and ulcerative colitis. The drug candidate acts by targeting receptor interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 1 (RIPK1). It is administered through oral route. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

• TEV-48574: Teva Pharmaceutical

Anti-TL1A (TEV-’574) is a potentially best-in-class human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that targets tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like ligand 1A (TL1A), also known as TNF superfamily member 15. TL1A signaling is believed to amplify inflammation and drives fibrosis associated with asthma and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); thus, targeting TL1A with TEV-’574 may mitigate the over-active immune response in these conditions. Anti-TL1A (TEV-’574) is currently in Phase 2b clinical trials for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UD) and Crohn's disease (CD), two types of inflammatory bowel disease. The safety and efficacy of anti-TL1A (TEV-’574) have not been reviewed by any regulatory authority. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

• SOR102: Sorriso Pharmaceuticals

SOR102 combines anti-TNF and anti-IL-23 vorabodies into a single dual-acting molecule a trypsin cleavable linker releases the monomers to independently engage their targets throughout intestinal tissue. SOR102 provides combination therapy locally within inflamed tissue with minimal risk of systemic immunosuppression. Overall benefits of dual targeting approach increased efficacy through blockade of different inflammatory mechanisms of IBD. Currently, the drug is in Phase I stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.
