Introduction: Evidence supporting transmural remission (TR) as a long-term treatment target in Crohn's disease (CD) is still unavailable. Less stringent but more reachable targets such as isolated endoscopic (IER) or radiologic remission (IRR) may also be acceptable options in the long-term.
Methods: Multicenter retrospective study including 404 CD patients evaluated by magnetic resonance enterography and colonoscopy.
Background: Current evidence suggests vedolizumab (VDZ) may be as effective as Infliximab (IFX) in inflammatory bowel disease. It is unknown if proactive therapeutic drug monitoring (PTDM) of IFX may improve these results.
Methods: Case-control study including consecutive patients with primary response to conventional IFX ( = 70), proactive IFX ( = 148), and VDZ ( = 95).
