Therapeutic sequencing in inflammatory bowel disease: Determining the optimal position of vedolizumab for long‐term Crohn’s disease control using real‐world evidence

Several biologics are available for the treatment of moderate to severe Crohn's disease, but data to optimize their use are scarce. Vedolizumab (VDZ) is a gut-selective anti-lymphocyte trafficking monoclonal antibody that was approved in 2014 for the treatment of moderate to severe Crohn's disease. Based on real-world evidence, a model was developed to examine the effect of VDZ's position in the treatment sequence on clinical outcomes.
