Multiple well-established therapies are available to treat Crohn’s disease (CD). The mostly widely used biologics, the TNF-α inhibitors (e.g., Janssen / Merck’s Remicade, AbbVie / Eisai’s Humira), are entrenched as first-line biologics, and non-TNF inhibitors (e.g., Takeda’s Entyvio, Janssen’s Stelara) have helped advance CD treatment, especially for moderate to severe disease. In the past three years, two novel therapies have launched for CD (i.e., AbbVie’s Skyrizi and Rinvoq). The launch of subcutaneous forms of Entyvio and infliximab is further expanding physicians’ treatment armamentarium. The availability of these agents will continue to impact the treatment landscape.
