How Do We Predict a Patient's Disease Course and Whether They Will Respond to Specific Treatments?

Bram Verstockt et al.

Summary: Gastroenterologists face challenging decisions when managing inflammatory bowel disease. The effectiveness of treatment and patient response can vary greatly, and the growing therapeutic options only complicate decision-making. However, other specialties have begun to use molecular heterogeneity to provide insights into predicting disease course and treatment response for patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Early Diagnosis, Early Stratification, and Early Intervention to Deliver Precision Medicine in IBD

Nurulamin M. Noor et al.

Summary: Clinical management of IBD has relied on trial and error, but precision medicine approaches are now available to guide treatment decisions. Early action combined with precision tools offers the greatest opportunity to improve outcomes for individual IBD patients. Despite the lack of clinical impact to date, there is potential for promising breakthroughs in precision medicine for IBD.

Proactive infliximab optimisation using a pharmacokinetic dashboard versus standard of care in patients with Crohn's disease: study protocol for a randomised, controlled, multicentre, open-label study (the OPTIMIZE trial)

Konstantinos Papamichael et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a proactive therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) combined with pharmacokinetic (PK) dashboard-driven infliximab dosing compared with standard care in Crohn's disease (CD) patients. The primary outcome is the sustained clinical remission without rescue therapy from week 14 to week 52.

Oncostatin M Is a Biomarker of Diagnosis, Worse Disease Prognosis, and Therapeutic Nonresponse in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Sare Verstockt et al.

Summary: The study found that Oncostatin M (OSM) can serve as a diagnostic biomarker in the tissue and serum of IBD patients, as well as predict prognosis and response to biologic therapies. Elevated ileal OSM/OSMR levels were significantly associated with postoperative recurrent CD. Serum OSM levels were increased in newly diagnosed patients and postoperative patients with recurrent CD. In families with IBD, higher serum levels were observed in first-degree relatives (FDRs) than in control families.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis to evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of biologics in patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease. The results suggest that infliximab with azathioprine or adalimumab may be preferred as a first-line therapy, while adalimumab (after infliximab loss of response) or risankizumab may be preferred as a second-line therapy for induction of clinical remission in patients.

Systematic review and meta-analysis: real-world data rates of deep remission with anti-TNFα in inflammatory bowel disease

Omeed Alipour et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis of real-world data showed that the rate of deep remission in IBD patients treated with anti-TNF alpha was highest after 1 year of therapy, with nearly 45% achieving deep remission. Similar rates were observed in patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. These findings emphasize the efficacy of anti-TNF alpha therapy in real-world settings and suggest the potential for future studies to evaluate newer IBD therapeutics in routine clinical practice.
