Clinical benefits of cytokine blockade in ileal Crohn’s disease (iCD) are limited to a subset of patients. Here we applied single cell technologies to iCD lesions to address whether cellular heterogeneity contributes to treatment resistance. We found that a subset of patients expressed a unique cellular module in inflamed tissues that consisted of IgG plasma cells, inflammatory mononuclear phagocytes, activated T cells and stromal cells, which we named the GIMATS module. Analysis of ligand-receptor interaction pairs identified a distinct connectivity network that likely drives the GIMATS module. Strikingly, the GIMATS module was also present in a subset of patients in 4 independent iCD cohorts (n=441), and its presence at diagnosis correlated with failure to achieve corticosteroid-free durable remission upon anti-TNF therapy. These results emphasize the limitations of current diagnostic assays and the potential for single cell mapping tools to identify novel biomarkers of treatment response and tailored therapeutic opportunities
