The five patients included in the proteomic study came from the 44 fibrostenosing CD patients of the IHC study (60% males; median [range] age: 33 years [22–41]; median [range] disease duration: 8.2 years [4.4–12.3]; 60% active smokers; one patient was treated by infliximab, three patients were treated by adalimumab [in monotherapy for one patient and in a combination therapy with azathioprine for one and with corticoids for the another], and the last patient was treated by corticoids alone.
*In a combination therapy with immunomodulator or corticoids for some patients.
CD, Crohn’s disease; 5-ASA, 5-aminosalicylate; IHC, immunohistochemical.
