The ImproveCareNow Registry: Prediction of remission rates in paediatric Crohn's disease.
Journal of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition

The ImproveCareNow Registry: Prediction of remission rates in paediatric Crohn's disease.

Patients, families, and clinicians can use registry-based predictors to better understand which children with Crohn’s disease may be at higher risk of slower or absent remission, which could inform monitoring and...

The safe and effective use of tofacitinib and ustekinumab combination therapy in infantile onset inflammatory bowel disease.
JPGN reports

The safe and effective use of tofacitinib and ustekinumab combination therapy in infantile onset inflammatory bowel disease.

The report suggests tofacitinib (a JAK inhibitor), alone or combined with ustekinumab, could be an effective option for some infants with treatment-refractory IOIBD — a population with few evidence-based alternatives. If...

Efficacy of Ustekinumab for the treatment of perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease: a multicentre retrospective study.
Frontiers in medicine

Efficacy of Ustekinumab for the treatment of perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease: a multicentre retrospective study.

Perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease is difficult to treat and many patients have failed anti-TNF therapy. Evidence that ustekinumab achieves high clinical fistula response and remission rates in a real-world multicenter...

Corticosteroid-sparing effects of risankizumab versus ustekinumab in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease: post hoc results from the phase 3b SEQUENCE trial.
Journal of Crohn's & colitis

Corticosteroid-sparing effects of risankizumab versus ustekinumab in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease: post hoc results from the phase 3b SEQUENCE trial.

For people with moderate–severe Crohn’s disease who failed anti‑TNF drugs, this trial suggests risankizumab may achieve higher corticosteroid‑free clinical and endoscopic remission than ustekinumab, which could mean...

Meta-analysis: safety and efficacy of ustekinumab in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease patients with anti-TNF failure.
BMC gastroenterology

Meta-analysis: safety and efficacy of ustekinumab in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease patients with anti-TNF failure.

This review pools available pediatric data showing ustekinumab can induce and maintain remission after anti‑TNF failure, offering a treatment option for children with refractory IBD. Results are most robust for Crohn’s...

Absolute risk of malignancy by treatment in patients with Crohn's disease compared to the general population: a nationwide population-based cohort study.
The American journal of gastroenterology

Absolute risk of malignancy by treatment in patients with Crohn's disease compared to the general population: a nationwide population-based cohort study.

People with Crohn's disease and their clinicians often ask how different treatments affect cancer risk. This large nationwide study provides real-world estimates of absolute excess cancer cases by treatment group, which...

Current and novel biomarkers for predicting and assessing therapeutic response in inflammatory bowel disease: a systematic review.
Therapeutic advances in gastroenterology

Current and novel biomarkers for predicting and assessing therapeutic response in inflammatory bowel disease: a systematic review.

People with IBD and their clinicians want ways to predict which advanced therapy will work best. This review summarizes current evidence and shows that, despite many studies, no biomarker is reliably ready for routine...

Real-world patterns of inflammatory bowel disease treatment across adult and pediatric populations: a nationwide cohort study in South Korea

Patients, families, and clinicians may care because the study shows pediatric-onset IBD is more often Crohn's and that children begin advanced therapies earlier than adults. The adult persistence data for vedolizumab and...

Efficacy and Safety of Low-Dose Upadacitinib Combined With Ustekinumab in the Treatment of Refractory Crohn's Disease

This study examines a combination of ustekinumab plus low‑dose upadacitinib for patients with refractory Crohn’s disease — a group with limited options after failing anti‑TNF and single‑agent therapy. Results could...

Comparison of the Efficacy of Different Biologic Agents in Preventing Postoperative Endoscopic Recurrence of Crohn's Disease

The study is comparing common biologics given after Crohn's surgery to prevent endoscopic recurrence—a key issue for people who have had bowel resection. Knowing which drugs perform better in real‑world practice could...
