5; 95% CI 0.8�C2.9).64 Natalizumab selleck A systematic review and meta-analysis of the efficacy of natalizumab targeting integrin ��4 demonstrated that natalizumab is superior to placebo in inducing remission of luminal CD (RR of failure to achieve remission 0.88; 95% CI 0.83�C0.94),53 based on data showing that failure to achieve remission occurred in 810 (65.4%) of 1,238 patients receiving natalizumab at 2�C12 weeks compared with 412 (77.3%) of 533 patients allocated to placebo.65�C69 However, use of natalizumab in CD patients has been limited by the development in some patients of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy from an opportunistic brain infection caused by reactivation of latent John Cunningham polyomavirus.70 Combination therapy with IFX plus AZA A clinical trial comparing the efficacy of IFX, AZA, and both agents combined for inducing and maintaining corticosteroid-free clinical remission in patients with active CD showed that the combination of IFX and AZA or IFX monotherapy were more likely to induce clinical remission than AZA monotherapy. Of 169 patients receiving combination therapy, 96 (56.8%) were in corticosteroid-free remission at week 26, compared with Quinapyramine 75 (44.4%) of 169 patients receiving IFX alone (P=0.02) and 51 (30.3%) of 170 patients receiving AZA alone (PS3I-201 concentration at weeks 0, 2, 6) with AZA were in corticosteroid-free and surgical resection-free remission, compared with 23 (35.9%) of 64 patients assigned to conventional management who received corticosteroids, followed, in sequence, by AZA and IFX, for an absolute difference of 24.1% (95% CI 7.3�C40.8; P=0.0062). There were some adverse events in the combined immunosuppression group, such as a bowel resection and reversible loss of sensation from demyelination in the conus medullaris. However, there were no significant differences in occurrence of adverse events between the two groups.
