Abstract
Purpose of the review: This review focuses on recent advancements in anti-TNF therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), pharmacogenetics and personalized drug selection for children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Recent findings: Several real-world studies and one clinical trial in children have demonstrated that proactive TDM, targeting higher exposure concentrations (> 5 µg/mL), can improve disease remission rates and enhance durability of the anti-TNF biologics. Recent data from both adult and pediatric IBD patients have revealed an association between a genetic polymorphism (HLA-DQA1*05) and the development of auto-drug antibodies. The impact of this association on clinical outcomes, considering more routine use proactive TDM and dose optimization in children, is still under investigation. Additionally, recent studies have identified potential inflammatory signatures and biomarkers that may serve as companion diagnostics for anti-TNF biologics. The effective management of anti-TNF therapies in children with IBD requires evidence-based precision dosing strategies, including routine TDM and proactive pharmacodynamic assessments.
期刊介绍:
As the field of gastroenterology and hepatology rapidly evolves, the wealth of published literature can be overwhelming. The aim of the journal is to help readers stay abreast of such advances by offering authoritative, systematic reviews by leading experts. We accomplish this aim by appointing Section Editors who invite international experts to contribute review articles that highlight recent developments and important papers published in the past year. Major topics in gastroenterology are covered, including pediatric gastroenterology, neuromuscular disorders, infections, nutrition, and inflammatory bowel disease. These reviews provide clear, insightful summaries of expert perspectives relevant to clinical practice. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
