Article Synopsis
  • A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to compare proactive therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) with conventional management in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) receiving anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNFα) treatment.
  • Nine studies were assessed, indicating that proactive TDM does not significantly improve maintenance of clinical remission compared to standard treatment, although it may enhance treatment durability and reduce some adverse effects and surgical needs.
  • The findings suggest that proactive TDM is not superior to conventional management for IBD patients, meaning it is not currently recommended.
