Abstract | Background: The expansion of advanced therapies for inflammatory bowel disease created a lag between the development of these new therapies and their incorporation and use in daily practice. At present, no clear definitions for treatment optimization, treatment failure or criteria to abandon therapy are available. We aimed to centralize criteria for a nonresponse to all available molecules and to summarize guideline principles for treatment optimization. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of studies that reported criteria for the treatment response to all advanced therapies (infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab, ustekinumab, vedolizumab and tofacitinib) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Results: Across trials, criteria for a response of both patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are heterogenous. Investigators use different definitions for clinical and endoscopic remission, and endoscopic response and outcomes are assessed at variable time points. Current society guidelines provide heterogenous recommendations on treatment optimization. Most available data on loss of response concern anti-TNF molecules, and newer therapies are not included in the guidelines. Conclusion: The lack of clear definitions and formal recommendations provide the premise for empirical treatment strategies and premature abandonment of therapies. |
