Introduction:
The safety and effectiveness of glucagon-like peptide receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are poorly understood.
Methods:
Patients with IBD treated with GLP1-RA were retrospectively identified for outcomes of adverse events, weight change, and clinical, endoscopic, and biomarker response.
Results:
Among a total of 120 patients with IBD, gastrointestinal side effects being the most common (11.5%). Semaglutide showed the most significant weight reduction. C-reactive protein levels decreased after one year ( P = 0.005). No differences were observed in IBD-related hospitalizations or endoscopic scores.
Discussion:
GLP1-RA therapy appears safe and effective, with an associated C-reactive protein reduction, in patients with IBD.
