Inflammatory bowel disease: recent developments
Paediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex and heterogenous condition. Incidence of disease in those aged <18 years has doubled over the last 25 years, with concurrent increased prevalence and no decrease in disease severity. The tools available at diagnosis for investigation have developed over the last 10 years, including better utilisation of faecal calprotectin, improved small bowel imaging and video capsule endoscopy. Alongside this, management options have increased and include biological and small molecule therapies targeting alternative pathways (such as interleukin 12/23, integrins and Janus...

Population Pharmacokinetics of Adalimumab in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study Using Clinical Care Data
CONCLUSIONS: Five literature models effectively described adalimumab PK in this pediatric cohort, highlighting the potential for extrapolating existing models to the pediatric population. The new JIA model confirmed the effect of several known covariates and found a novel association for drug clearance with methotrexate use (lower) and uveitis (higher), which might have clinical relevance for personalized dosing in JIA.PMID:38630199 | DOI:10.1007/s40272-024-00629-7 (Source: Paediatric Drugs)

Factors associated with surgical resection in patients with Crohn's disease: long-term evaluation
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with CD still frequently need surgical treatment. Smoking (current or past), longer disease time, stenosing and fistulizing behavior, and ileo-colonic localization in CD patients were associated with a higher risk of surgery. Awareness about factors associated with unfavorable outcome allows such patients to be treated more appropriately.PMID:38629651 | PMC:PMC11020661 | DOI:10.1590/acb391924 (Source: Acta Cirurgica Brasileira)

Defining predictors of responsiveness to advanced therapies in Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis: protocol for the IBD-RESPONSE and nested CD-metaRESPONSE prospective, multicentre, observational cohort study in precision medicine
Introduction Characterised by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) symptoms including diarrhoea, abdominal pain and fatigue can significantly impact patient’s quality of life. Therapeutic developments in the last 20 years have revolutionised treatment. However, clinical trials and real-world data show primary non-response rates up to 40%. A significant challenge is an inability to predict which treatment will benefit individual patients. Current understanding of IBD pathogenesis implicates complex interactions between host genetics and the gut microbiome. Most cohorts s...

Pediatric stricturing Crohn's disease
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 28;30(12):1651-1654. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i12.1651.ABSTRACTCrohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the digestive tract. The incidence of pediatric CD is increasing and is currently 2.5-11.4 per 100000 world-wide. Notably, approximately 25% of children with CD develop stricturing CD (SCD) that requires intervention. Symptomatic stricturing diseases refractory to pharmacological management frequently require non-pharmacological interventions. Non-pharmacological therapeutic strategies include endoscopic balloon dilatation, stricturoplasty, and surgical resection of the strict...

Early proactive monitoring of DNA-thioguanine in patients with Crohn's disease predicts thiopurine-induced late leucopenia in NUDT15/TPMT normal metabolizers
CONCLUSION: Proactive therapeutic drug monitoring of DNATG could be an effective strategy to prevent late leucopenia in both NUDT15/TPMT normal and intermediate metabolizers with CD, especially the former.PMID:38617736 | PMC:PMC11008375 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i12.1751 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)
