“…However, since anti-TNF-α agents, such as IFX and ADA, have emerged as effective treatment options with many clinical benefits for patients with CD, it is anticipated that they may be alternatives to surgery for CD patients with fistulas. Recently, the ACCENT II trial (A Crohn's Disease Clinical Trial Evaluating Infliximab in a New Long-Term Treatment Regimen in Patients with Fistulizing Crohn's Disease) evaluated the efficacy of repeated infusions of IFX for the closure of fistulas among patients who had a response to induction IFX therapy and reported that 36% of the patients had a complete absence of draining fistulas 54 weeks after the initiation of IFX treatment (14). In the CHARM trial (The Crohn's Trial of the Fully Human Antibody Adalimumab for Remission Maintenance), ADA was reported to achieve complete fistula closure in 33% of the patients at week 56 (15).…”

“…Neste, os autores observaram que a terapia de indução com doses nas semanas 0, 2 e 6 associada a manutenção do uso da droga a cada dois meses proporcionou a remissão clínica das fistulas em 46% dos casos após 54 semanas em comparação com 23% daqueles que não receberam a terapia de manutenção 16 .…”

“…Estes índices de sucesso avaliados estatisticamente até o período de 32 semanas, com intervalos de oito semanas entre as doses, sem a aplicação das doses de indução (0, 2 e 6 semanas) foram semelhantes aos obtidos com os estudos multicêntricos apresentados 6,16 .…”
