BACKGROUND: In this nationwide study, our objective was to compare the durability of first-line biologics in ulcerative colitis (UC), categorized into monotherapy and combotherapy with immunomodulators.

METHODS: We utilized data from the nationwide epi-IIRN cohort from 2005 to 2020. Durability was defined as consistent treatment without surgery. Comparisons were based on stringent propensity score-matching.

RESULTS: We included 15 111 patients with UC, of whom 2322 (15%) received biologics, with a median follow-up of 7.0 years (interquartile range, 3.8-11.0). The durability rate was similar between pediatric-onset and adults after 1 and 5 years from initiation of treatment (72% and 43% vs 71% and 43%, respectively; P = .8). Durability of adalimumab vs infliximab after 1 or 5 years was similar, whether prescribed as monotherapy (65%/46% vs 63%/33%, respectively; n = 182 matched pairs, P = .3) or combotherapy (78%/56% vs 91%/58%, respectively; n = 46 matched pairs, P = .4). Durability of infliximab was higher as combotherapy (85%/50%) vs monotherapy (69%/42%; n = 174 matched pairs, P = .007), while it was similar for adalimumab (80%/52% vs 74%/52%; n = 53 matched pairs, P = .4). The durability rate was similar for vedolizumab monotherapy (77%/56%) compared with adalimumab monotherapy (69%/52%; n = 125 matched patients, P = .1), and infliximab monotherapy (73%/55% vs 62%/44%; n = 78 matched patients, P = .1). However, combotherapy of antitumor necrosis factors (TNFs) had longer durability than vedolizumab (85%/50% vs 75%/43%, respectively; n = 131 matched pairs, P = .02).

CONCLUSION: After 5 years of treatment, 43% of the patients with UC sustained their first biologic, with similar durability in pediatric and adult-onset onset disease. Anti-TNFs had similar durability to vedolizumab and superior durability when prescribed as combotherapy.
