  1. A multi-centre, double blind randomised placebo-controlled study of the use of rectal tacrolimus in the treatment of resistant ulcerative proctitis I C Lawrance Centre for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Fremantle Hospital School of Medicine and Pharmacology, UWA

  2. 25% Disease Distribution at Presentation n = 1116 37% 46% 17% Farmer RG, et al. Dig Dis Sci. 1993;38(6):1137-1146.

  3. Suboptimal response Rectal 5ASA combined with Oral 5ASA Suboptimal response Rectal 5ASA combined with Rectal steroids Or Rectal 5ASA more frequently Suboptimal response add in Oral steroids add in AZA/6MP Suboptimal response Suggested Treatment Algorithm Rectal 5ASA 1gm nocte Other options Infliximab Cyclosporin Tacrolimus Cummin Arsenic Ecabet sodium Surgery

  4. Tacrolimus • Macrolide lactone that inhibits the formation of cytotoxic lymphocytes • Suppresses T and B cell proliferation Clinical trials Prevents allogenic transplant rejection Medical use Prophylaxis of liver, kidney allograft rejection Adverse Reactions Cardiomyopathy, HT, Renal dysfunction, Infection, Seizures Neoplasia Open labelled studies of oral therapy in CD and UC Suggest that the blood trough level should be at least 10ug/L (therapeutic range 5- 20ug/L) The higher the trough level the more likely a patient will suffer an adverse effect

  7. Tacrolimus Study • HYPOTHESIS • That the rectal preparation of tacrolimus is safe, well tolerated and efficacious in the treatment of resistant ulcerative proctitis. • Primary end point: • Clinical response (Mayo Score) of resistant ulcerative proctitis after 8 weeks of rectal tacrolimus therapy Secondary end points: Remission rates after 8 weeks of rectal tacrolimus. Effect of rectal tacrolimus on mucosal healing. Changes in the modified Mayo Score between tacrolimus and control groups. Changes in quality of life by the IBDQ. Safety and tolerability. Changes in cytokine expression in mucosal biopsies
