Tóm tắt

The use of ustekinumab in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is off-label and the data are limited. We conducted a systematic review evaluating the efficacy and safety of ustekinumab in pediatric IBD. We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases for studies of ustekinumab in children and adolescents with IBD investigating clinical remission, clinical response, corticosteroid-free (CS-free) remission, endoscopic remission/response, or safety up to March 17, 2023. A random-effects model was used for calculating summary estimates. Eleven studies, comprising 370 patients were included. For Crohn’s disease (CD), the pooled clinical remission rates were 34% (73/204) at 8–16 weeks and 46% (60/129) at 1 year. The pooled CS-free clinical remission rates were 23% (10/44) at 8–16 weeks and 45% (42/96) at 1 year. For ulcerative colitis (UC)/IBD unspecified (IBD-U), the pooled CS-free clinical remission rates were 24% (6/25) at 26 weeks and 46% (16/35) at 1 year. Endoscopic remission was found in 0–37.5% of CD and 63.6% of UC. Serious adverse events were reported in 3.5% of patients. About one half of patients required reduction in dose intervals and 62.75% patients could continue ustekinumab therapy at 1 year or final visit. According to low-quality evidence mainly from cohort studies and case series, approximately one half of patients with CD and UC/IBD-U achieved remission at 1 year. Ustekinumab has a reasonable safety profile and dose optimization is frequently required. Data on the long-term benefit and high-quality evidence are still needed.
