Children with Crohn’s disease (CD) have a more-complicated disease course compared with adult patients. However, similar to adult CD, the primary goal of the treatment of pediatric CD is to induce and maintain remission as quickly as possible. Historically, treatment of pediatric CD would begin with safe, albeit often less-efficacious, conventional agents (e.g., 5-ASAs) and then progress to more-potent drugs, such as biologics and/or immunosuppressants. However, the pediatric CD treatment algorithm continues to evolve, and physicians increasingly initiate treatment with TNF-alpha inhibitors (e.g., Janssen/Merck’s Remicade, AbbVie/Eisai’s Humira), especially in patients with more-severe disease symptoms. The non-TNF biologics, including Takeda’s Entyvio and Janssen’s Stelara, may also be prescribed, particularly after anti-TNF failure.
