Fecal Calprotectin is a Useful Biomarker for Predicting the Clinical Outcome of Granulocyte and Monocyte Adsorptive Apheresis in Ulcerative Colitis Patients: A Prospective Observation Study
In summary, we demonstrated the utility of FC as a biomarker for assessing ER after GMA and predicting CR at the early phase during GMA in patients with active UC. Assessing the baseline characteristics alone before GMA was not sufficient to predict CR. Our findings will benefit patients with active UC by allowing them to avoid undergoing unnecessary invasive procedures and will help establish new GMA therapeutic strategies.

GMA shows effectiveness in inducing remission in UC patients not receiving steroid.

Factors associated with the outcomes in ulcerative colitis patients undergoing granulocyte and monocyte adsorptive apheresis as remission induction therapy: A multicenter cohort study

GMA was an effective treatment for corticosteroid-naïve patients and the efficacy sustained longer in those not receiving immunomodulators during GMA. GMA fulfills the notion that apheresis is to induce disease remission by removing from the body factors known to perpetuate disease. In therapeutic settings, these findings should help better decision making and avoid futile use of medical resources.

Adsorptive Depletion of Myeloid Lineage Leucocytes as Remission Induction Therapy in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis after Failure of First-Line Medications: Results from a Three-Year Real World, Clinical Practice
Takayuki Iida 1, Kentaro Ikeya, Masaichi Kato, Jinro Abe, Masayoshi Yamamoto, Fumitoshi Watanabe, Ken Sugimoto, Hiroyuki Hanai , Digestion. 2017;96(2):119-126.
Corticosteroid-naïve patients appeared to benefit the most from the Adacolumn GMA, and attain a favourable long-term clinical course. Accordingly, GMA should be a first-line therapy in this clinical setting.

Efficacy of granulocyte and monocyte apheresis for antibiotic-refractory pouchitis after proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis: an open-label, prospective, multicentre study
Takayuki Yamamoto 1, Toshiaki Tanaka 2, Tadashi Yokoyama 3, Takahiro Shimoyama 1, Hiroki Ikeuchi 4, Motoi Uchino 4, Toshiaki Watanabe 5 , Therap Adv Gastroenterol. 2017 Feb;10(2):199-206.
GMA has a good safety profile, but its efficacy appears to be limited in the management of chronic refractory pouchitis. However, a large controlled study should be conducted to evaluate the efficacy of GMA therapy in patients with pouchitis at an earlier clinical stage, before the disease has become refractory to conventional medical therapy.

Granulocyte-Monocyte Apheresis in Steroid-Dependent, Azathioprine-Intolerant/Resistant Moderate Ulcerative Colitis: A Prospective Multicenter Study.

Our study shows that a standard course of granulocyte-monocyte apheresis is associated with a 36% steroid-free clinical remission in patients with steroid-dependent, azathioprine-intolerant or resistant moderate ulcerative colitis. Apheresis might represent an alternative to biologic therapy or surgery in this specific subgroup of patients

Adsorptive Granulocyte and Monocyte Apheresis in the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis: The First Multicenter Study in China.

The overall efficacy of GMA in patients with active UC who were taking first-line medications or were corticosteroid refractory was encouraging. Additionally, GMA was well tolerated and had a good safety profile.

Intensive GMA in patients with active UC seems to be more efficacious than weekly treatment, and significantly reduced the patients’ morbidity time without increasing the incidence of side effects.

GMA was well tolerated, but this study did not demonstrate its effectiveness over a sham procedure in inducing clinical remission or response in patients with moderate to severe CD.
