Moderators: Marla Dubinsky, MD David Rubin, MD
Case Discussion 1Therapeutic Limbo: How low Can We Go?
PanelistsAlan C. Moss, MD, FACG – Boston Medical CenterJean-Frederic M. Colombel, MD – Icahn School of Medicine at Mount SinaiSéverine Vermeire, MD, PhD – University hospitals LeuvenFeza H. Remzi, MD, FACS, FTSS(Hon) – NYU Langone School of MedicineAshwin N. Ananthakrishnan, MD, MPH – Massachusetts General Hospital
How do you manage de-escalation of therapy in a woman on combination therapy and planning pregnancy?• 33 yo. female on combination thiopurine and infliximab for history of perianal
penetrating and ileocecal CD wants to get pregnant but concerned about her medications and wants to be on the least amount of drugs as possible
ØMost important is deep remission at time of conception: need for evaluationØCombination therapy and risk of negative maternal or fetal outcomes ØImplications of de-escalation with stopping and impact on PK of infliximabØTiming of last infusion before deliveryØDelivery mode may be affected by status of perianal fistula
Take home points:
How do you monitor patients who want to stop biologics due to fears of side effects?• 28 yo. male with left-sided UC switched to adalimumab 10 years earlier after
developing an infusion reaction to infliximab and recent colonoscopy shows deep remission and wants to manage his disease with diet instead of biologics
ØGain a better understanding of why wants to stop medicationØImportant to have a risk benefit discussion with your patientØDiscuss role of diet in prevention of relapseØNeed to have a monitoring plan with non-invasive biomarkers ØNeed to decide on timing of repeat endoscopyØIf re-introduction of adalimumab may consider combination therapy
Take home points:
How do you manage biologics peri-operatively?• 21 yo. male with known fibrostenosing SB disease managed with infliximab and
prednsione with history of refusing surgery after pSBO admission 6 months earlier and now presents with SBO and proximal bowel dilation on MRE. Patient now agrees to surgery.
ØTiming of exposure of anti-TNF and steroids and surgery: need for delay?ØAnti-TNF therapy perioperatively and risk of post op infectionsØNon-anti-TNF biologics and their impact on post op outcomesØTiming of when to restart IBD MedicationsØIs this an anti-TNF failure and need a non anti-TNF target

Case Discussion 2Management of Enterocutaneous Fistulas
PanelistsAnita Afzali, MD, MPH, FACG – The Ohio State University Wexner Medical CenterJoel R. Rosh, MD, FACG – Goryeb Children's HospitalGary R. Lichtenstein, MD, FACG – University of PennsylvaniaAntonino Spinelli, MD, PhD – Humanitas Research Hospital
Immediate Care of Enterocutaneous Fistula• 32 yo M with ileocolonic CD w/ abscess at midline wound 4 wks post
ileocecectomy. Abscess incised w/ purulent drainage, followed by drainage of enteric contents.
Take Home Points: Ø Immediate attention to goal-directed fluid resuscitation, electrolyte
correction and critical care supportØ Intra-abdomen septic source control, broad-spectrum antibioticsØ If fistula suspected – incision for adequate drainage, skin/wound
care, pouching
Nutrition, Wound, Treatment Needs• 17 yo F with CD since age 12 with a spontaneous EC fistula with
output of 600mL/24hrs.
Take Home Points: Ø Multi-disciplinary approach (including wound/ostomy nursing team)Ø Effluent output can be caustic: need skin care, customized pouching
systems, negative-pressure wound therapyØ Categorize low- (<200) vs high-volume output (>500mL/24hr)Ø Enteral nutrition vs TPN support, bowel rest – evaluate outputØ Initiation of biologic therapy
Pre-operative Care Needs for EC Repair• 43 yo M with CD and on anti-TNF therapy & TPN support, w/ high
volume output EC fistula for 4 months. No prior surgery.
Take Home Points: Ø Generally, wait at least 6 months or longerØ Define the anatomy (CT, SBFT, endoscopy) and review best location to
enter abdomenØ Resection of fistula-containing segment with anastomosis preferred
vs suture/closure of fistula aloneØ ~20% fistula recurrence, 10-20% mortality post-operatively
Key Messages for EC Fistula Management• Multidisciplinary team is essential and includes: radiologists,
gastroenterologists, surgeons, dietitian, dedicated stoma nurse, psychosocial support• Conservative treatment: “SSNAP”• Sepsis and Skin care, nutritional support, definition of intestinal anatomy and
development of a surgical procedure
• Surgery should be delayed until both local and systemic disease controlled• Successful surgery requires the resection of the bowel associated to the
fistula• Recurrence rates remain high after surgery

Case Discussion III: Therapeutic Targets/End Points of Care in IBD in 2020
Panelists:David P. Hudesman, MD – NYU Langone HealthAdam S. Cheifetz, MD, FACG – Beth Israel Deaconess Medical CenterHans H. Herfarth, MD, PhD – University of North CarolinaAndrew B. Grossman, MD – Children's Hospital of PhiladelphiaWilliam J. Sandborn, MD, FACG – University of California San Diego
Case Scenarios III: Therapeutic Targets/End Points of Care in IBD in 2020: How do you assess the disease, what is your endpoint?
1. 23 yo woman with Crohn’s ileitis presents with diarrhea, abdominal pain and anemia, elevated CRP. Is treated with adalimumab with methotrexate.
2. 34 yo man with left-sided ulcerative colitis failing 5-ASA therapy and escalated to vedolizumab, now feeling ”well”. Flex sig shows Mayo 1.
3. 56 yo woman with Crohn’s ileocolitis and perianal fistula and prior ileocecectomy maintained on infliximab and azathioprine. Has diarrhea.
23 yo woman with Crohn’s ileitis presents with diarrhea, abdominal pain and anemia, elevated CRP. Is treated with prednisone, adalimumab, and concomitant PO methotrexate.• At 8 weeks of therapy, she reports resolution of diarrhea and significant improvement of pain. She has
received IV iron.
• How would you assess her disease?
• What is your endpoint of management?
Take home points:
Ø Treat to target strategy would encourage objective assessment of disease beyond symptoms. (CALM)
Ø CRP may be helpful as a target. Calprotectin is less reliable in Crohn’s of the small bowel. (UPMC study of “silent CD”)
Ø Repeat imaging is not as useful/validated for treatment titration but may impact surgical planning or clarify inflammation vs. functional.
Ø Colonoscopy has value but is not necessarily needed nor sensitive enough for full thickness inflammation.
34 yo man with left-sided ulcerative colitis failing 5-ASA therapy and escalated to vedolizumab, now feeling ”well”. Flex sig shows Mayo endoscopic score of 1. Biopsies show Geboes’ score of 3.2
• How do you reconcile feeling “well” with the endoscopic and histologic findings?•Would you change his therapy? • Is histology an endpoint of management?

34 yo man with left-sided ulcerative colitis failing 5-ASA therapy and escalated to vedolizumab, now feeling ”well”. Flex sig shows Mayo endoscopic score of 1. Biopsies show Geboes’ score of 3.2• How do you reconcile feeling “well” with the endoscopic and histologic findings?
• Would you change his therapy?
• Is histology an endpoint of management?
Take home points:
Ø Symptoms, endoscopy and histology do not always correlate in UC.
Ø Current management goals include endoscopic improvement (healing).
Ø Histologic inflammation is associated with risk of neoplasia.
Ø Novel endpoints like “histo-endoscopic mucosal improvement” may provide additional benefit, but have not yet been validated.
Ø Practical approach includes clarifying that “feeling well” is true clinical remission and correlating with endoscopic healing.
56 yo woman with Crohn’s ileocolitis and perianal fistula and prior ileocecectomy maintained on infliximab and azathioprine. Has diarrhea.• How would you assess this patient?
• How would you assess optimization of the therapy?
• Does the lumenal bowel disease correlate to perianal disease?
• Is there a role for therapeutic monitoring?
Take home points:
Ø Careful assessment for causes of diarrhea is necessary
Ø Calprotectin may have a role given the colitis part of the disease. Is there a role for other markers? (MONITR?)
Ø Assessment of perianal disease is necessary- approach to simple assessment vs. imaging/EUA
Ø Higher infliximab levels have been associated with healing of perianal fistulas
Key Take Home Points• Modern goals of IBD management include composite assessments of
patient reported outcomes as well as disease status.• Know what markers correlate to the patient’s active disease when
they are known to be inflamed (CRP, calprotectin, imaging, others…).• Treat-to-target for high risk patients is a reasonable way to
incorporate these principles and to move management towards disease modifying endpoints.• Histological assessment of UC may have some value but is not yet an
endpoint for management.• Therapeutic drug assessment has a role in specific situations for
assessment and optimization purposes.
