SUMMARY
Objective: To evaluate the comparative effectiveness of adalimumab (ADA) and infliximab (IFX) and the reason for stopping the treatment in patients with Crohn’s disease.
Material and methods: Retrospective, descriptive, observational study of all patients diagnosed with Crohn´s disease treated with IFX or ADA from January 2010 to December 2014. We recorded: age, sex, duration of treatment, previous therapy with other biological drugs and reason of stopping the treatment. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to measure the effectiveness of treatment, overall survival of ADA and IFX was calculated and survival was estimated at 3 years. The Log-Rank and Breslow tests were used to check whether there were differences between IFX and ADA. The Pearson Chi-Square test was used for assessing qualitative variables differences between ADA and IFX, and the Student’s t-test for quantitative variables. Data were analyzed using SPSS v.22.
Results: The study included 158 patients diagnosed with Crohn´s disease (ADA; n=81 and IFX; n=77). The mean age was 38±14 years in the ADA group and 39±13 in the IFX group (p=0.66); and 50.62% were men in the ADA group and 51.95% in the IFX group (p=0.867). The drug was received in the first line by 77.8% of patients in the ADA group and 74.4% in the IFX group. The treatment was stopped by 48.1% of patients with ADA and 51.9% with IFX. The median survival was 42.7 months with ADA [95% confidence interval (CI) 19.7-65.6%] and 36 months with IFX (95% CI 6.4-65.5%) without significant statistics difference between both drugs (Log-Rank: p=0,991; Breslow: p=0,621). Survival at 3 years was 53.1% for ADA and 49.5% for IFX (p=0.75).
Conclusions: In this study significant differences in efficiency were not found between the two anti-TNF.
