Abstract
Managing pediatric Crohn's disease (PCD) presents challenges due to severe complications and higher biologic therapy needs. Transitioning from anti–tumor necrosis factor agents to off-label therapies adds complexity. Although upadacitinib has demonstrated efficacy and tolerability in adult inflammatory bowel disease and pediatric atopic dermatitis, there are limited data for its application in PCD. This case report delineates successful remission with upadacitinib in a child with CD refractory to infliximab, ustekinumab, adalimumab, thalidomide, and prednisone. Notably, the patient carried an ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene mutation. These findings provide valuable evidence for PCD management and highlight the potential benefits of upadacitinib in this population.
期刊介绍:
We also encourage the submission of manuscripts presenting preclinical and very preliminary research that may stimulate further investigation of potentially relevant findings, as well as in-depth review articles on specific therapies or disease states, and applied health delivery or pharmacoeconomics.
CTR encourages and supports the submission of manuscripts describing:
• Interventions designed to understand or improve human health, disease treatment or disease prevention;
• Studies that focus on problems that are uncommon in resource-rich countries;
• Research that is "under-published" because of limited access to monetary resources such as English language support and Open Access fees (CTR offers deeply discounted English language editing);
• Republication of articles previously published in non-English journals (eg, evidence-based guidelines) which could be useful if translated into English;
• Preclinical and clinical product development studies that are not pursued for further investigation based upon early phase results.
