The introduction of biological agents with strong anti-inflammatory action, such as antitumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents, has changed inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment strategy and goals, and has contributed significantly to improve the long-term prognosis of patients. Moreover, several biological agents are being used or researched in pediatric populations. However, only two biological agents, infliximab (IFX) and adalimumab (ADL), are currently approved for children and adolescents. In pediatric IBD, there are limitations and burdens associated with facilitating mucosal healing (MH) when utilizing these two biological agents. ADL is effective in both naïve patients and those with previous experience with biologics. Beyond clinical remission, this drug is also effective for MH and histological remission. The use of therapeutic drug monitoring to further enhance the effectiveness of ADL treatment can be expected to reduce treatment failure of ADL and pave the way for appropriate treatment in the treat-to-target era. This review paper focuses on ADL, examine studies conducted in children, and determine the role this agent plays against pediatric inflammatory bowel disease.
引入具有强大抗炎作用的生物制剂,如抗肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)制剂,改变了炎症性肠病(IBD)的治疗策略和目标,并为改善患者的长期预后做出了重大贡献。此外,几种生物制剂正在儿科人群中使用或研究。然而,目前仅英夫利昔单抗(IFX)和阿达木单抗(ADL)这两种生物制剂被批准用于儿童和青少年。在儿科IBD中,使用这两种生物制剂促进黏膜愈合(MH)存在局限性和负担。ADL对初治患者和既往有生物制剂使用经验的患者均有效。除了临床缓解外,这种药物对MH和组织学缓解也有效。使用治疗药物监测以进一步提高ADL治疗的有效性有望减少ADL治疗失败,并为达标治疗时代的适当治疗铺平道路。这篇综述文章聚焦于ADL,审视在儿童中开展的研究,并确定该制剂在儿科炎症性肠病中所起的作用。
