Delay in prior authorization of biologic therapy: Another possible cause of healthcare disparity in IBD patients
This study evaluated the approval time for biologics in IBD.METHODS: A chart review of IBD patients seen in a university gastroenterology clinic over 5 years was performed. Patient gender, race, IBD subtype, biologic use, and insurance type were recorded. Insurance type was classified as private or public (Medicaid or Medicare). Biologic agents evaluated included infliximab, adalimumab, vedolizumab and ustekinumab. Length of time to approval (TTA) and length of time to first infusion or administration (TFI) were recorded. Analysis was performed using t-testing, Fisher's exact testing, and ANOVA with significance set at p&l...

Real-World Discontinuation and Switching Patterns for Interleukin-Inhibitor Treatments in Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Psoriasis in Japan
ConclusionTreatment modification of IL-inhibitors for PsO was commonly observed and could indicate insufficient disease control and/or incremental economic burden. Discontinuation and switching rates were lowest for RIS regardless of time point and adjustment for patient characteristics. (Source: Dermatology and Therapy)

Sustainability of biologic treatment in paediatric patients with Crohn's disease: population-based registry analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Given the results suggesting shorter sustainability, the need for earlier intensification and thus higher drug exposure, and the greater need for immunosuppression with infliximab than with adalimumab, the choice of these drugs cannot be considered completely equitable.IMPACT: Our study identified predictors of sustainability of biologic treatment in paediatric patients with Crohn's disease, including adalimumab (versus infliximab), early initiation of biologic treatment, and normalised baseline haemoglobin levels. Infliximab treatment was associated with earlier intensification, higher drug exposure, and a gr...

Variation in access and prescription of vedolizumab and ustekinumab in paediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a UK-wide study
Conclusions There is widespread use of vedolizumab and ustekinumab across the UK, although practice is highly variable. Access to therapy appeared to differ substantially. There is a growing disparity between international guidelines and real-world practice. Establishing early and effective therapy in all patients remains a priority.
