Scope:
The treatment of moderate to severe Crohn’s disease ( CD ) presents an attractive commercial opportunity for new, effective therapies. Despite the revolution that TNF -α inhibitors (, Janssen/Merck’s Remicade, AbbVie/Eisai’s Humira) brought to the market, safety risks and efficacy limitations associated with these therapies still exist. In the past two years, the CD market has welcomed two new agents─Takeda’s Entyvio (approved in 2014) and Janssen’s Stelara (approved in 2016)─that offer different mechanisms of action ( MOA s) from the TNF -α inhibitors. The launch of these novel agents has helped address some unmet need, but significant needs persist, especially for patients refractory to available therapies.
