Management of refractory inflammatory bowel disease

Abstract: Purpose of reviewNearly one-third of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) do not achieve remission despite our best therapies. When this happens, it is critical to understand the reason for treatment failure. Once nonresponse is confirmed, these patients should be referred to an IBD centre for multidisciplinary care. This review will discuss the remaining treatment options, including escalation of biologics to unlicensed doses, combination biologics, nonvalidated therapies and surgical options. It wi… Show more

“…Thus, current treatment strategies, such as aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and novel biologics, aim to manage symptoms and reduce inflammation. However, these treatments have several adverse side effects and are not always effective in some refractory cases (Silvio et al 2022;Mate et al 2022). Therefore, a promising approach is urgently required for IBDs.…”

“…Among IBD, Crohn's disease has no cure, and many of the therapies available are limited by their cost, availability, and efficacy. For example, TNF blockers are newer systemic treatments for IBD, but approximately 30% of patients with Crohn's disease do not respond to these medications and among those who do initially respond, half eventually develop tolerance [2,3]. Additionally, like many other available IBD therapies, TNF blockers are complicated by poorly tolerated side effects associated with their systemic delivery [4].…”

“…Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation with periods of remission and relapse [1] and categorized as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, or indeterminate colitis based on a combination of clinical, endoscopic, and histologic data [1,2]. Currently, the gold standard for IBD diagnosis is ileocolonoscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) combined with histology analysis [3]; however, novel machine and deep learning technologies present promising new avenues to significantly enhance our understanding of IBD and optimize remission standards to aim for better patient outcomes.…”
