Therapeutic Drug Monitoring for Biologic and Small-Molecule Therapies for Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Medicina 2024 January 32
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), encompassing ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, necessitates long-term medical therapy to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) has emerged as a strategy to optimize treatment efficacy, particularly with anti-tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) alpha drugs. This review explores the role of TDM for non-anti-TNF advanced therapies in IBD, focusing on vedolizumab, ustekinumab, tofacitinib, upadacitinib, risankizumab and ozanimod. Methods: The literature search, conducted through OVID (Medline) and PubMed, delves into proactive versus reactive TDM, timing of monitoring and methods for measuring drug levels and anti-drug antibodies. Results: While ustekinumab and vedolizumab exhibit exposure-response relationships, consensus on target levels and the role of TDM adjustments remains elusive. Limited data on risankizumab suggest a dose-dependent response, while for small molecule therapies (janus kinase inhibitors and ozanimod), the absence of real-world data and commercially available TDM tools pose challenges. Conclusion: At present, with the available data, there is a limited role for TDM in non-anti-TNF biologic and small-molecule therapies. This review underscores the need for further research to delineate the utility of TDM in guiding treatment decisions for these agents.
