Introduction

The role of the gut microbiota in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis is widely acknowledged, with numerous bacteria identified as contributing factors. Little however is known about the part viruses play – a likely major component in the structuring and functioning of the gut microbiota. Understanding how viruses interact with the gut microbiota and host cells in the context of IBD could facilitate innovative treatment approaches and personalized interventions.

Aims & Methods

We explore the colonic and upper intestinal virome in patients with IBD compared with general population (GP) controls. Faecal (colonic) and effluent (upper intestinal) derived shotgun metaviromes of 100 IBD individuals (UC = 50, CD = 50) and 50 IBD individuals with an ileostomy, respectively were compared to faecal derived metaviromes of 50 GP individuals. Metaviromes were generated using a combination of shotgun methods and viral particle enrichment, allowing for identification of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic, dsDNA, ssDNA and RNA viruses. Viral diversity, composition and prevalence were compared by calculating Shannon diversity, Bray-Curtis distances and performing logistic regression analyses. P-values were adjusted using false discovery rate (FDR) to correct for multiple testing, where relevant; FDR<0.05 was considered significant.

Results

Similar to bacterial diversity in IBD versus GP samples, we see a significantly lower viral diversity in CD and UC colonic samples compared with the GP, and an even lower diversity when comparing upper intestinal samples to colonic samples (FDR<0.05). Comparing viral populations between groups, we observe that, whilst there is evident interindividual variability within groups, distinct clustering between colonic and upper intestinal samples can be seen, with colonic IBD samples clustering slightly more towards upper intestinal samples. When comparing viral group prevalences between GP and IBD colonic samples, 83 out of 260 viral groups present in IBD-UC samples are absent in the GP samples and 125 out of 302 viral groups present in the GP were absent in IBD-UC. For IBD-CD samples these numbers are 79 out of 248 and 133 out of 302, respectively. The top 3 viral groups that positively associated with IBD-UC samples are: one unknown phage group (predicted bacterial host: Parasutterella spp.), a group containing Lactobacillus phages (bacterial host: Lactobacillus spp.) and a group containing Lactococcus phages (bacterial host: primarily Lactococcus spp). The top 3 viral groups that positively associated with IBD-CD samples are: the same unknown phage group as for IBD-UC, and two other unknown phage groups (predicted bacterial hosts: primarily Enterocloster & Bacteroides spp, respectively).

Conclusion

This first comprehensive description of the gut virome across multiple gastrointestinal sites shows specific alterations in IBD. Many viral groups differentially present in the IBD intestine infect bacteria often associated with gut health and significantly reduced in IBD patients. Dysregulated bile acid signaling has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of IBD, with bacterial dysbiosis being linked to its cause. In IBD populations, we observe phages with the host E.bolteae – a bacteria increased in dysbiosis due to their potential to metabolise bile acids. We speculate that alterations in the gut virome composition are key events that disrupt the equilibrium between gut microbiota and host, promoting a pro-inflammatory state and driving IBD pathogenesis. The next steps will be to investigate the mechanisms underlying these complex interactions.

Introduction

Microscopic colitis (MC) refers to two pathologies – Collagenous colitis (CC) and Lymphocytic colitis (LC) that cause chronic watery diarrhoea, urgency, incontinence leading to significantly decreased quality of life¹. It is thought that MC develops due to a pathological immune response to intestinal luminal antigens in genetically predisposed individuals, with microbiota playing an important role^{2, 3}. However, the pathogenesis of MC is still unclear.

Aims & Methods

The aim of this study was to identify and characterize changes in bacterial composition of MC patients in terminal ileum and different colonic segments and determine its relation to the clinical course of disease. Biopsies from terminal ileum and six segments of the colon were collected during diagnostic colonoscopies. DNA extraction was performed using AllPrep DNA/RNA Micro Kit (Qiagen) following the manufacturer’s instructions. To determine bacterial composition, sequencing of the 16S rRNA variable region V3-V4 was conducted using the 27F and 338R polymerase chain reaction primers and sequenced on a MiSeq (2×250 bp; Illumina, Hayward, CA). Bioinformatic analysis was performed using DADA2, and taxonomic classification was carried out with the RDP classifier.

Results

Biopsy samples from 20 active CC patients, 20 active LC patients, and 50 controls demonstrated distinct microbial profiles across different intestinal segments, as revealed by beta-diversity and differential compositional analyses. Compared with controls, CC patients had consistent alterations in three bacterial families throughout the entire colon, with Erysipelatoclostridiaceae and Coriobacteriaceae decreased and Pasteurellaceae increased. Additionally, 35 families had segment-specific changes, and 25 families displayed altered abundance in the terminal ileum.
LC patients exhibited a consistent increase in Erisypelotrichaceae across the entire colon, with 38 other families showing segmental changes, and 12 families displaying altered abundance in the terminal ileum. Comparing LC and CC revealed a significantly different bacterial profile. LC showed lower abundance across many families, particularly in the right colon and terminal ileum. After sample collection, 15 CC patients and 12 LC patients received budesonide, with 3 CC and 2 LC patients having incomplete response. Beta diversity analysis revealed significant differences in the ascending colon and left side of the colon of CC patients based on response to budesonide. Patients with incomplete response to budesonide had an increased abundance of the genus Paucibacter. Similar tendencies were not observed in LC.
1 CC patient exhibited a quiescent disease course, 6 reached a sustained remission after treatment, 7 had a relapsing and 6 had a chronic active disease. Significant differences in beta diversity were observed in transverse, descending colon and rectum. Beta diversity of the descending colon had a medium correlation with disease behaviour. In the LC group 6 patients had a quiescent disease, 8 had a sustained remission after treatment, 3 exhibited a relapsing and 4 had a chronic active disease. No significant correlation between microbiota and disease behaviour was observed in LC.

Conclusion

This study showed significant differences in bacterial composition between CC, LC and controls in the terminal ileum and colon. In both CC and LC, bacterial alterations were not consistent throughout the entire colon but varied between different colonic segments. Microbiome differences based on response to budesonide and disease behaviour were observed in CC, but not LC.

Introduction

Colorectal cancer (CRC) often develops from precancerous lesions such as tubular adenomas (TA) and sessile serrated lesions (SSL). The gut microbiome has been implicated in colorectal carcinogenesis, but specific microbial signatures associated with different adenoma subtypes remain incompletely characterized. This study aimed to identify microbial biomarkers associated with TA and SSL, and explore their correlations with dietary macronutrients.

Aims & Methods

Stool samples were collected from 801 patients prior to colonoscopy from National University Hospital and Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Singapore. After colonoscopy, the patients were classified as having TA (n=315), SSL (n=24), both (n=8), or neither (controls, n=454). Shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed using Novaseq6000, and microbial taxonomy was annotated with MetaPhlAn4. Multivariate linear regression adjusted for age, gender, and BMI was used to identify species associated with polyp subtypes. A subset of 172 participants completed a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) assessing 19 macronutrients, enabling correlation analysis between diet and adenoma-associated microbes.

Results

Patients with TA were older (mean age 64.0±7.8 vs 62.3±7.5 years in controls, p=0.02) and more likely to be male (69.5% vs 52.4%, p<0.01). After adjustment for confounders, we identified 38 microbial species significantly associated with polyp subtypes; 20 were associated with SSL and 18 with TA, with minimal overlap between the two polyp subtypes. Only two species showed associations with both polyp types: Holdemanella biformis and GGB3277_SGB4327, with the latter showing opposing directional relationships (negative for TA, positive for SSL). Of note, SSL were associated with increased abundance of Faecalibacterium SGB15346 and Bifidobacterium adolescentis. In the dietary analysis, we identified significant correlations between SSL-associated microbes and sugar intake, particularly Faecalibacterium SGB15346 (r=0.170, p=0.03) and Clostridium sp_AM49_4BH (r=0.156, p=0.04). E. hominis, positively associated with SSL, showed the strongest dietary associations overall, correlating positively with carbohydrate intake (r=0.243, p<0.01) and starch consumption (r=0.246, p<0.01).

Conclusion

Our study identified distinct microbial signatures associated with TA and SSL, with minimal overlap, suggesting separate host-microbial biological pathways in their development. The positive correlation between SSL-associated microbes and sugar intake provides a potential mechanistic link between dietary habits and SSL formation, which may be particularly relevant given the increasing incidence of early-onset colorectal neoplasia. These findings offer potential microbial biomarkers for early detection of colorectal polyps and suggest targeted dietary interventions as a strategy for precision chemoprevention.

Introduction

Etrasimod is an oral, once-daily, selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P)_1,4,5 receptor modulator for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC), with demonstrated efficacy in patients (pts) with baseline modified Mayo Score (MMS) 4–9.¹ No prior clinical trials of advanced therapies in UC have studied efficacy only in pts with baseline MMS ≤6.

Aims & Methods

GLADIATOR (NCT04607837) was a proof-of-concept, global, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of etrasimod in adults with mildly to moderately active UC (MMS 4–6; endoscopic subscore ≥2; rectal bleeding subscore ≥1) and inadequate response, loss of response or intolerance to ≥1 UC therapy. Pts were randomised 2:1 to etrasimod 2 mg or placebo once daily, stratified by previous biologic/Janus kinase inhibitor exposure and baseline corticosteroid use. GLADIATOR used a treat-through design (12-week [wk] induction period followed by a 40‑wk maintenance period). From Wk 12, pts whose disease had worsened or not improved vs baseline may have been eligible to enrol in an open-label extension trial (NCT03950232). The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of pts achieving clinical remission at Wk 52; additional endpoints are shown in the Table. Safety was monitored throughout the study.

Results

In the primary analysis set for efficacy, 127 and 60 pts received etrasimod and placebo, respectively. At Wk 52, 26.0% and 18.3% of pts receiving etrasimod and placebo, respectively, were in clinical remission (p=0.2524; Table). At Wk 12, a greater proportion of pts receiving etrasimod achieved clinical remission, endoscopic improvement (EI) and endoscopic improvement-histologic remission (EIHR) vs placebo (p<0.05; Table). Pts receiving etrasimod were more likely to achieve sustained clinical remission vs placebo (p=0.0104; Table). Etrasimod was generally well tolerated and findings were consistent with the known safety profile.

Conclusion

In pts with mildly to moderately active UC, etrasimod demonstrated higher rates of clinical remission, EI and EIHR at Wk 12, as well as sustained clinical remission at Wk 52, vs placebo. However, the primary endpoint of clinical remission at Wk 52 was not met. Etrasimod demonstrated efficacy in pts with UC with an MMS 4–9, including those with an MMS 4–6, in the ELEVATE UC clinical programme.¹ The proof-of-concept GLADIATOR trial further supports etrasimod’s efficacy in active UC and provides important insights on studying pts with mildly to moderately active UC.

Introduction

Filgotinib (FIL), a once-daily, oral, Janus kinase 1 preferential inhibitor, is approved for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). FIL was effective in inducing and maintaining clinical remission and was well tolerated in the placebo-controlled phase 2b/3 SELECTION trial (NCT02914522).¹

Aims & Methods

The efficacy and safety of continued treatment with FIL 200 mg (FIL200) are being assessed in the long-term extension (LTE) study (SELECTIONLTE: NCT02914535). The study design of SELECTION has been published previously.¹ We now report the efficacy and safety of open-label FIL200 through up to 5 years of treatment: LTE week 192 in completers and LTE week 240 in induction non-responders. Completers were defined as patients who completed the SELECTION induction and maintenance studies, and non-responders were those without response at SELECTION week 10; all of whom entered the LTE study. A data cut-off of 23 March 2023 was used for this interim analysis. Proportions of patients who were in partial Mayo Clinic Score (pMCS) remission (pMCS ≤1) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) remission (score ≥170) were reported both as observed cases and using non-responder imputation (NRI). Adverse events (AEs) and AEs of special interest (AESIs) were evaluated using exposure-adjusted incidence rates per 100 patient-years of exposure (PYE).

Results

This interim analysis included 148 completers and 372 non-responders. AEs and AESIs in patients treated with open-label FIL200 (2464.7 PYE) showed no new safety signals, and safety events were comparable to those seen in previous analyses. The proportions of patients who were in pMCS and IBDQ remission are shown in the Table. The proportions of patients who were in pMCS remission increased during SELECTION to reach 72.4% (FIL200, as observed) at week 58/LTE baseline and increased further during SELECTIONLTE (85.0% at LTE week 192) in completers. Proportions in pMCS remission increased more gradually over SELECTIONLTE, reaching 66.7% (FIL200–FIL200, as observed) at LTE week 240 in non-responders. Similar patterns were seen for IBDQ remission; 78.5% (FIL200, as observed) of completers were in IBDQ remission at week 58/LTE baseline, increasing to 84.8% by LTE week 192. In non-responders, increases in the proportions of patients who were in IBDQ remission were gradual, reaching 77.8% (FIL200–FIL200, as observed) at LTE week 240. NRI analyses showed similar but much more conservative results than the as observed analyses for both groups for both endpoints.

Conclusion

Filgotinib 200 mg was effective in maintaining symptomatic remission and health-related quality of life for up to 5 years. No new safety signals were identified, and rates of AEs under long-term exposure were comparable to those previously reported.^1–4 Prolonged treatment with filgotinib is efficacious for the long-term management of UC, and together with its proven safety profile, results in an acceptable benefit–risk profile.
