Colectomy and Neoplasia Outcomes of Patients With Ulcerative Colitis Receiving Golimumab

| Sumario: | Golimumab (GLM), an anti-tumour necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNFα) agent, is indicated for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC). This post-authorisation safety study evaluated the risk of colectomy due to intractable disease and advanced colonic neoplasia (high-grade dysplasia and/or colorectal cancer) under real-world conditions of GLM use. This bidirectional cohort study using Spanish ENEIDA registry data (2013-2022) included adults with UC who initiated GLM, other anti-TNFα agents, or thiopurines (TPs). Crude risk analyses-and, when feasible, multivariable models-in cohort and nested case-control designs were performed. For colectomy, we evaluated exposure to GLM only, other anti-TNFα agents, and both (i.e., overlapping exposure). For ACN, we evaluated exposure to GLM, other anti-TNFα agents, and TPs. Sixty-four colectomy cases and 10 ACN cases were identified among patients exposed to GLM (N = 474), other anti-TNFα agents (N = 1737), or TPs (N = 1380). Incidence rates per 1000 person-years and 95% confidence intervals were reported for colectomy (GLM-only [4.4, 1.2-11.2] and other anti-TNFα agents only [12.4, 9.1-16.5]) and ACN (GLM [1.5, 0.2-5.4], other anti-TNFα agents [1.3, 0.5-2.8], and TPs [1.0, 0.3-2.6]). In comparisons excluding overlapping exposure, GLM was not associated with an increased risk of colectomy versus other anti-TNFα agents. GLM was also not associated with an increased risk of ACN versus either comparator. Observed events, especially for ACN, were limited for all exposures. Findings do not indicate an increased risk of colectomy due to intractable disease or ACN with GLM use versus other therapies for similar disease severity in routine UC care (EUPAS15752). |
