P0777 Sonographic transmural induction outcomes across advanced therapies in Crohn’s Disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) is increasingly being used to evaluate induction efficacy in both clinical practice and clinical trials. The differential healing rates across advanced therapies (AT) remains unknown. We aimed to quantify the rates of early post induction IUS transmural (TM) remission and response across AT in Crohn’s Disease (CD). Methods Single center retrospective review of patients with CD initiating AT who underwent IUS pre and post induction and had disease activity and biomarker data available. Patients with normal pre-AT IUS or post op were excluded. Primary outcome was post-induction TM response of the most affected segment (segmental response compared to baseline: >25% decrease in bowel wall thickness (BWT), absolute BWT decrease >2mm, or absolute decrease >1mm with ≥1-point improvement in Modified Limberg Score (MLS)). Secondary outcomes were segmental and complete (all bowel segments) TM remission (BWT ≤ 3.0mm and MLS 0). Descriptive statistics summarized data (median [IQR]), univariate and multivariate analysis tested associations. Results 101 patients (53% female, age 17.4 [15.0-21.1] years); disease duration 0.80 years [0.17-3.96]; post induction IUS performed 78 days [56-102] on AT (44% anti-TNF, 53% AT naïve). Segmental TM induction response across all AT was 63%. Segmental and complete TM remission was 36% and 35%, respectively (figure). Complete TM remission was seen at a higher rate with upadacitinib (UPA) than ustekinumab (UST) (p=0.009) and risankizumab (RZB) (p=0.032) but not anti-TNF (NS). Patients with severe IUS inflammation (MLS 3) at baseline were less likely to achieve TM remission independent of AT (aOR 0.21 [0.059-0.76]). Complete TM remission was independently associated with infliximab (IFX) (aOR 11.7 [2.2-62.4]) and UPA (aOR 5.22 [1.0-27.2]). Rates of segmental TM response were greater for colonic than ileal disease in UST/RZB (88% vs 47%, p=0.038), but no different in TNF/UPA. Patients started on UST/RZB after >1 failed prior AT had a trend for lower rates of TM outcomes (NS), while number of prior therapies had no impact on UPA response or remission rates. Conclusion Post-induction TM outcomes are achievable across AT: 2/3 of patients achieve segmental TM response and 1/3 achieve complete TM remission. This data, combined with the high correlation between IUS and endoscopy, suggests that IUS response could be considered as a clinical trial endpoint.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
