Abstract Background Crohn’s disease(CD) trials often report efficacy using only binary endpoints(clinical remission/endoscopic response), aggregating outcomes of all participants(pts) at specified timepoints. Individual longitudinal efficacy trends using pt-level clinical data helps to understand response dynamics in relationship to outcome, and may help optimize personalized IBD treatment. AI, such as machine learning(ML), may identify patterns/predictors of individual treatment response in pts with CD. Guselkumab(GUS) is an IL-23p19 subunit antagonist. Unsupervised ML was used to identify clusters of GUS-treated pts by individual Crohn’s Disease Activity Index(CDAI)-based response trajectories. Methods Unsupervised ML approach with latent class trajectory modeling was applied using CDAI scores from weeks(Wks)0-48 of individual GUS-treated pts with moderate to severely active CD from three Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, treat-through trials: GRAVITI(GV; SC induction E:14.3%) E:21.4%). Conclusion Unsupervised ML using CDAI scores of GUS-treated pts detected 5 distinct response clusters in GRAVITI and GALAXI. Through Wk48, distinct pt groups were separated by degrees/dynamics of clinical response, which were similar with SC and IV induction. Further analyses of pt characteristics related to these response patterns may direct long-term therapies and aid in an individualized treatment approach to IBD. References: 1.
