Statement of Need

Since their introduction over 2 decades ago, anti–tumor necrosis factor (-TNF) agents have become frequently utilized as first-line biologic treatments for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Unfortunately, up to two-thirds of patients with IBD either do not respond to anti-TNF therapy or lose response within a year of starting treatment. More recently developed biologics such as interleukin (IL) inhibitors, (e.g., IL-23, IL-12/-23) have demonstrated effectiveness in achieving both short- and long-term treatment targets of symptom control and mucosal healing in patients with IBD.

This CME Outfitters symposium will feature Drs. Dubinsky, Horst, and Melmed in an expert panel discussion focusing on strategies for the treatment of both biologic-naïve and biologic- experienced patients with IBD; incorporating comparative efficacy and safety data for IL-23 and IL-12/23 inhibitors into the development of treatment plans; and utilizing an interprofessional team to improve patient care and treatment outcomes.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this CME/CE activity, participants should be able to:

• Incorporate evidence-based clinical, biomarker, and endoscopic treatment targets into clinical practice when developing treatment goals for patients with IBD.
• Develop treatment plans based on comparative efficacy and safety data for biologic-naïve and biologic-experienced patients with IBD.
• Engage an interprofessional team to improve patient care and IBD treatment outcomes.
