OVERVIEW

The treatment landscape for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is changing rapidly. Novel pharmacologic agents with different and unique mechanisms of action that target specific steps in the IBD disease pathway represent significant advances in the treatment of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. In this live symposium, IBD clinician experts will discuss and differentiate these new and emerging therapies, provide context for their use in clinical practice, and use patient cases to illustrate evolving concepts in risk stratification and treat-to-target approaches. Faculty will also discuss nuances in treatment selection for complex patients and the latest guidance on therapeutic drug monitoring.
