Inflammatoryboweldisease(IBD)isachronicconditionthatleadstosignificantmorbidityanddecreasedhealth-relatedqualityoflife(HRQOL).1,2Althoughtherearemanytreatmentoptionsavailableforpatientswithulcerativecolitis(UC)andCrohn’sdisease(CD),biologictherapiesremainthemainstayoftreatmentforthosewithmoderate-to-severeIBD.3,4However,drugdevelopmentinIBDisdynamic;manyadditionaltherapieswithnovelmechanismsofactionareinthepipeline.Forexample,tofacitinib,anoralsmallmoleculeJanuskinaseinhibitor,wasshowntobeeffectiveininducingandmaintainingremissioninUCvs.placebo.5
WhiletheavailablebiologicsandsmallmoleculetherapiesareeffectiveintreatingIBD,therehavebeenfewmajorhead-to-headtrialsofthesecommonly-prescribedtherapeutics.Becauseofthelackofcomparativeeffectivenessdata,IBDcarepathwaysendorseseveralfirst-linetherapies.6,7Asaresult,itisoftendifficultforpatientstonavigatethearrayoftreatmentoptionswiththeirphysicianandtochooseatherapythatalignswiththeiruniquetreatmentpreferences.Moreover,thedecision-makingprocesswillbecomeevenmorecomplexasadditionaleffectivetherapiesaredeveloped,tested,andapprovedforuseinclinicalpractice.
