1 Inflammatory bowel disease: Novel therpaies NZ November 2018 Dr Charlie Lees Consultant Gastroenterologist From the Edinburgh IBD Unit at the Western General Hospital

2 History of treatment for IBD 1950s First use of steroids 1989 First MTX study in CD 2015 Start of the biosimilar era 2017 Ustekinumab launched for CD 1960 First use of thiopurines 1990s First approval of anti-tnfs 2014 Vedolizumab launched; first gut-selective agent for IBD Tofacitinib approved for UC /JAK inhibitors 2

3 Current therapies for IBD (September 2018) Induction agents Corticosteroids 5-ASA (UC only) Anti-TNF agents Vedolizumab Ustekinumab (Crohn s only) Exclusive enteral feeding (ileal Crohn s) Limited surgical resection Maintenance agents 5-ASA (UC only) Azathioprine / MP Methotrexate (Crohn s) Anti-TNF agents Vedolizumab Ustekinumab (Crohn s only) Smoking cessation

10 Evolution of treatment goals Clinical remission Steroid free remission Deep remission Biochemical and endoscopic remission Increasing use of calprotectin Treat-to-target

11 Treating a patient with Crohn s disease AND Treating intestinal inflammation Resolution of abdominal pain and normalisation of bowel habit should be the target Absence of ulceration is the target Endoscopy or cross-sectional imaging should be performed within 6 9 months after treatment starts Assess outcomes at least every 3 months until resolution After symptom resolution, outcomes should be assessed at least every 6 12 months Histological remission and biomarkers (CRP/FC) are not targets Failure of CRP or FC normalisation should prompt further endoscopic evaluation, irrespective of symptoms
