Overview

Narrative review summarizes efficacy and safety of biologics and small molecules in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease, suggesting new therapeutic options.

Key Points

  • This review aims to summarize advancements in managing pediatric inflammatory bowel disease through biologic and small-molecule therapies.
  • Literature search conducted across PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library.
  • Focused on studies published in the last five years.
  • Data retrieved from guidelines and position papers from relevant organizations.
  • Anti-TNF agents infliximab and adalimumab are effective for remission induction and maintenance.
  • New biologics like vedolizumab and ustekinumab show promise for patients not responding to anti-TNF treatment.
  • Emerging small molecules such as JAK inhibitors and S1P modulators provide rapid, oral treatment options.
  • The gut microbiome is noted as a potential therapeutic target influencing treatment efficacy.
