Crohn's disease (CD), a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, presents significant challenges in clinical medicine due to its multifactorial etiology and varied therapeutic responses. This review examines the diverse causes of CD, including genetic predispositions identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), which involve scanning the genome for single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with CD risk, as well as environmental triggers, such as diet and alterations in the microbiome. Biomarkers, such as fecal calprotectin and Creactive protein (CRP), as well as genetic markers like NOD2 mutations, provide critical tools for diagnosis and treatment stratification.

Combination therapy with biologics and/or small molecules in inflammatory bowel disease: a comprehensive review.

Advanced combination treatment (ACT)-the combination of two advanced agents such as biologics or small molecules-has emerged as a promising strategy in the management of inflammatory bowel disease refractory to conventional treatment, with severe extraintestinal manifestations, or with coexisting immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. ACT including complementary mechanisms of action aims to overcome the therapeutic ceiling observed with monotherapy. Its rationale is supported by preclinical and mechanistic data demonstrating synergistic immunological effects when distinct inflammatory pathways are targeted simultaneously.

Background: Vedolizumab (VDZ) is a monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD). Despite its efficacy, non-response to VDZ is common in clinical practice with no clear understanding of how it manifests. Here, we performed an exploratory study characterizing the cellular repertoire of responders and non-responders to VDZ during treatment.

Background And Aims: We conducted a prospective study (FAVOUR) of patients with UC commencing vedolizumab to investigate faecal vedolizumab loss and its impact on serum levels and treatment outcomes.

Methods: FAVOUR recruited patients with moderate-to-severe UC commencing vedolizumab. Faecal vedolizumab levels (FVL) were measured at days 1, 4, 7 and at weeks 2, 6 and 14.

: Vedolizumab is a gut-selective anti-integrin monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While clinical trials have demonstrated a favorable safety profile, real-world studies are essential for identifying rare adverse events (AEs) and evaluating post-marketing safety. This study assessed vedolizumab's safety in a real-world cohort and supported the detection of potential safety signals.
