Abstract

The management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) has evolved with the emergence of new treatment paradigms and the introduction of novel advanced therapies, including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and small molecules. These advanced therapies have improved disease control, but they necessitate careful pre-treatment assessment and ongoing monitoring to manage potential adverse effects and optimize patient outcomes. This review focuses on practical approaches to treatment-specific monitoring of currently available advanced therapies.
