Efficacy and Safety of Certolizumab Pegol in an Unselected Crohn's Disease Population: 26 Week Data of the FACTS II Survey.

BACKGROUND: Certolizumab pegol (Cimzia, CZP) was approved for the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD) patients in 2007 in Switzerland as first country worldwide. This prospective phase IV study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CZP over 26 weeks in a multicenter cohort of practice-based patients. METHODS: Evaluation questionnaires at baseline, week 6 and 26 were completed by gastroenterologists in hospitals and private practices. RESULTS: Sixty patients (38F/22M) were included, 53% had complicated disease (stricturing or penetrating), 45% had undergone prior CD related surgery. All patients had prior exposure to systemic steroids, 96% to immunomodulators, 73% to infliximab, and 43% to adalimumab. A significant decrease of Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI) was observed under CZP therapy (12.24.9 at week 0 vs 6.34.7 at week 6 and 6.75.3 at week 26, both P <0.001). Response and remission rates were 70% and 40% (week 6) and 67% and 36% respectively (week 26). The complete perianal fistula closure rate was 36% at week 6 and 55% at week 26. The frequency of adverse drug reactions attributed to CZP was 5%. CZP was continued in 88% of patients beyond week 6 and in 67% beyond week 26. CONCLUSIONS: In a population of CD patients with predominantly complicated disease behaviour, CZP proved to be effective in induction and maintenance of response and remission. This series provides the first evidence of CZP's effectiveness in perianal fistulizing CD in clinical practice.

Adaptabilidade e estabilidade de cultivares de milho no nordeste brasileiro

No ano agrícola de 1997, 21 cultivares de milho foram submetidas a 26 diferentes condições ambientais no Nordeste brasileiro, visando conhecer a estabilidade de produção desses materiais para fins de recomendação na região. Foi utilizado o delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados, com três repetições. Foram detectadas diferenças entre os ambientes, as cultivares e comportamento diferencial das cultivares em face das variações ambientais, na análise de variância conjunta. A produtividade média obtida (4.301 kg/ha) mostra o bom potencial para a produtividade das cultivares avaliadas, e boa aptidão do Nordeste brasileiro para a produção de milho. Todas as cultivares mostraram estabilidade de produção nos ambientes considerados. Os híbridos, de melhores rendimentos que as cultivares, constituem excelentes alternativas para exploração na região, destacando-se, entre eles, o BR 3123, Agromen 2003 e Germinal 600, por expressarem respostas positivas à melhoria ambiental. As cultivares BR 106, BR 5011, BR 5004 e BR 5033 têm recomendação justificada, especialmente, para pequenos e médios produtores rurais, onde certamente contribuirão para a melhoria da produtividade do milho.
