Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of different 5-aminosalicylate concentrations on the metabolism of azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
Detailed Description: Background

The concomitant use of 5-aminosalicylates 5ASA next to azathioprine AZA or 6-mercaptopurine 6MP in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease IBD may lead to an increased effectiveness of therapy as higher levels of the active metabolite of AZA6MP 6-thioguaninenucleotides 6TGNs are measured

Objectives

To determine the influence of 5-ASA compounds and its metabolites on the metabolites of AZA6MP 6TGNs 6-methylmercaptopurine 6MMP

Methods

Patients with quiescent disease under AZA6MP therapy are eligible Patients will receive three succeeding regimes 5ASA 2 gram5ASA 4 gram no 5ASA of 4 weeks next to the standard AZA6MP therapy At the start and at the end of every regime 5ASA and its major metabolite N-acetyl-5ASA will be determined in serum next to the measurement of 6TGNs and 6MMP in erythrocytes The safety will monitored by standard laboratory parameters every four weeks

Population

Patients with IBD in remission and unchanged AZA6MP dosages for at least 4 weeks

Medication

5ASA Pentasa granules Ferring will be administered orally in dosages of 2 or 4 grams daily for a period of 4 weeks

Endpoints

The rise or decrease in 6TGNs and 6MMP during the different 5ASA regimes The evaluation of the safety of co-administrating 5ASA next to AZA6MP

Risks

Side effects of 5ASA use are limited and well known Some case reports have described the potential risk of developing a myelodepression when AZA6MP and 5ASA are given together due to the rise in 6TGNs However in daily practice both drugs are administered together frequently The risks of the frequent blood draws are minimal and usually self-limiting haematoma
