About
Anti-TNF (tumor necrosis factor) monoclonal antibodies have revolutionized management of Inflammatory bowel disease. Their common features include high efficacy but also immunogenicity and increased infection risk. Since 2013, two generics or biosimilars of the first anti-TNF have been registered in Europe, which long lerm safety profile needs yet to be established.
This prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study will assess safety of treatment of anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies in inflammatory bowel disease patients in Poland.
Eligible are consecutive patients in whom anti-TNF is started for Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis or indeterminate colitis between January 1st, 2014 and December 31st, 2015. Data to be collected include demography, Montreal classification, indication to treatment, previous treatment, operations, extraintestinal manifestations and concomitant diseases. Data on response, tolerability and safety of anti-TNF and on concomitant treatment will be collected. Adverse events logs will be completed. Majority of IBD centres in Poland, pediatric and adult, academic and regional, have agreed to participate in the study.
As a result of the study, the frequency of adverse events in a cohort of Polish IBD patients on various anti-TNFs will be established.
