Can we Rely on HLA to Predict Resistance to Biological Therapy in IBD Patients

September 9, 2021 updated by: Ana Carvalho, Centro Hospitalar Tondela-Viseu
The investigators propose an observational study including patients with inflammatory bowel disease under biological therapy with anti-TNF, anti-integrin α₄β₇ or anti-interleukin 12-23 (Ustekinumab), followed by an external Gastroenterology consultation at Centro Hospitalar Tondela-Viseu.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Healthy Subjects
Blood donors
All patients will be asked to give blood samples to search for HLA-DQA1*05 and DRB1
IBD patients - under biological therapy
Patients with IBD followed up in consultation on biological therapy with anti-TNF, anti-integrin α₄β₇ or anti-interleukin 12-23.
All patients will be asked to give blood samples to search for HLA-DQA1*05 and DRB1
IBD patients - naive
Patients newly diagnosed with IBD and need for biological therapy with anti-TNF, anti-integrin α₄β₇ or anti-interleukin 12-23,
All patients will be asked to give blood samples to search for HLA-DQA1*05 and DRB1

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Response to biological therapy
Time Frame: 36 months
To assess whether the presence of the HLA-DQA1*05 and HLA DRB1 alleles in patients with inflammatory bowel disease is associated with primary failure or loss of response to biological therapy with anti-TNF (Infliximab and Adalimumab), anti-integrin α₄β₇ (Vedolizumab) or anti-interleukin 12-23 (Ustekinumab).
36 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Prevalence of HLA-DQ1*05 and DRB1
Time Frame: 36 months
To determine the prevalence of HLA-DQ1*05 and DRB1 alleles in IBD population and to compare with a population of healthy blood donor patients.
36 months
