Table 2. Medication use for responders who relapsed (R-Rel) and sustained remission (R-SustRem) at ⩾1-year follow-up.
R-Rel (n=6)ˆ | R-SustRem (n=6)* | P-value | |
---|---|---|---|
Allocated to FMT-D, n (%) | 3 (50.0) | 4 (66.6) | 1.0 |
Concomitant drug treatment at 1-year FU, n (%) | |||
No medication, mesalamine oral, mesalamine/corticosteroid rectal | 3 (50.0) | 4 (66.6) | 0.57 |
Immunosuppressants and/or steroids <10 mg per day | 2 (33.3) | 2 (33.3) | |
Systemic corticosteroids >10 mg per day, anti-TNF | 1 (16.6) | 0 (0.0) |
Abbreviations: Anti-TNF, antitumour necrosis factor; FU, follow-up; FMT, faecal microbiota transplantation; FMT-D, FMT with donor faeces; SCCAI, Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index.
The median SCCAI scores at 1 year for patients in sustained remission were low: 0 (range 0–2).
Patients who relapsed had an SCCAI score >5 and or need for rescue therapy during FU.
