DOP66 INSPIRE: Preliminary data from an observational post-marketing registry on the effectiveness and safety of darvadstrocel in patients with Crohn’s Disease and complex perianal fistulas

Abstract Background Darvadstrocel (DVS), a suspension of expanded allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells, is approved for the treatment of complex Crohn’s perianal fistulas (CPF). INSPIRE (EUPAS24267) is a European observational post-approval study evaluating real-world effectiveness and safety of DVS in patients with complex CPF for up to 36 months. Here we report preliminary clinical and safety outcomes from INSPIRE. Methods Patients with complex CPF who had received DVS according to local standard practice were eligible to enrol. Clinical response (closure of ≥50% of external openings [EOs]) and clinical remission (closure of all EOs) of DVS-treated fistulas that were draining at baseline, were evaluated in the all-treated (AT; received ≥1 dose of DVS with an evaluation for fistula response after 6 months) and per-protocol (PP; received DVS as per label-approved guidelines) cohorts. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious TEAEs and AEs of special interest were reported for the safety cohort (all patients treated with DVS). Results As of April 2023, 652 patients had enrolled (Table 1). Complete data to evaluate 12-month clinical response and remission were available for 134 (AT cohort) and 124 (PP cohort) patients, of whom 79.9% (AT, n = 107) and 79.8% (PP, n = 99) had a clinical response and 76.1% (AT, n = 102) and 76.6% (PP, n = 95) had clinical remission (Figure 1). From baseline to Month 12, there was a decrease in the mean (standard deviation [SD]) Perianal Disease Activity Index score (–3.5 [3.3]; n/N = 96/302 and –3.7 [3.2]; n/N = 89/249) and a decrease in the mean (SD) Harvey–Bradshaw Index for Crohn’s disease activity (-0.3 [2.8]; n/N = 102/302 and -0.4 [2.9]; n/N = 95/249) in the AT and PP cohorts, respectively. Complete safety data were available for 619 patients (median [min–max] follow-up 480 [6–1595]) days. Overall, 26% (n = 162) had ≥1 TEAE and 10% (n = 63) ≥1 serious TEAE. The most frequent TEAEs were anal abscess (6.9%), COVID-19 (1.9%) and proctalgia (1.1%). No deaths were reported. One breast cancer lymph node metastasis and one ovarian epithelial cancer were reported; both events were confounded by immunosuppressant treatment and were not considered related to DVS treatment. Conclusion These preliminary data are consistent with the pivotal ADMIRE-CD study and demonstrate a single dose of DVS in patients with complex CPF is associated with positive clinical outcomes in up to 80% of patients, and a favourable safety profile, both of which are maintained after 12 months. The inherent limitations of registry-based studies mean these data should be interpreted with caution. However, the ongoing INSPIRE study will provide longer follow-up data to confirm these observations with respect to any study limitations.
