Low‐dose oral microemulsion ciclosporin for severe, refractory ulcerative colitis

Abstract: SUMMARYBackground: The optimal modalities of treatment with oral microemulsion ciclosporin in patients with severe, steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis are uncertain. Aim: To assess the applicability, in terms of efficacy and tolerability, of a standard oral microemulsion ciclosporin treatment protocol targeting relatively low blood ciclosporin concentrations, in patients with severe, steroid-resistant ulcerative colitis. Patients and methods: Patients with a severe attack of ulcerative colitis and no satisf… Show more

“…This result has been confirmed by several retrospective and prospective studies [105][106][107][108][109][110]. Oral CsA is also effective for refractory UC patients and the response rate was approximately 70-80% [111,112]. Oral microemulsion CsA for severe, steroid-refractory UC achieves an efficacy similar to intravenous CsA, and it could potentially substitute intravenous CsA [111].…”

Oral microemulsion CsA for severe, steroid-refractory UC achieves an efficacy similar to intravenous CsA, and it could potentially substitute intravenous CsA [111]. The long-term prognosis of UC patients treated with CsA has also been reported [105][106][107][108][109][110].…”

“…In case of response to intravenous treatment, a relay by oral ciclosporin is then undertaken. Some teams proposed out of hand oral micro-emulsion treatment with ciclosporin (Neoral®), at an initial dose of 2 mg/kg per 12 hours and the objective of a circulating residual rate around 100 ng/ml and a peak (2 hours after taking the drug) close to 600 ng/ml [19] [20]. In our study ciclosporin was administered orally given the unavailability of the intravenous form in Morocco with an initial response rate of 66% which is concord with the results of the literature.…”

“…Environ trois malades sur quatre répondent à court terme et 40 % répondent à long terme. Des résultats similaires sont obtenus avec le Néoral ® [36,37], avec une dose initiale de 2 à 2,5 mg/kg par 12 heures et une ciclosporinémie cible de 100 ng/ml à jeun et 500 à 700 ng/ml deux heures après la prise du Néoral ® du matin. La toxicité de la ciclosporine est importante.…”
