Conventional therapies (5-ASAs, corticosteroids) are typically used to treat mild to moderate pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC), whereas tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors are primarily reserved for moderate to severe disease that is refractory to conventional therapies or for the first-line treatment of very severe disease. Takeda’s cell adhesion molecule (CAM) inhibitor, Entyvio; Janssen’s IL-12 / IL-23 inhibitor, Stelara; and Pfizer’s JAK inhibitor, Xeljanz / Xeljanz XR are alternative options, especially for TNF-α-refractory patients. These three newer drugs are not approved for pediatric UC, but, given the limited number of therapies available for pediatric patients who fail TNF-α inhibitors, physicians may turn to them as last-line options.
