  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease Agents
    Therapeutic Class Overview Inflammatory Bowel Disease Agents INTRODUCTION • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a spectrum of chronic idiopathic inflammatory intestinal conditions that cause gastrointestinal symptoms including diarrhea, abdominal pain, bleeding, fatigue, and weight loss. The exact cause of IBD is unknown; however, proposed etiologies involve a combination of infectious, genetic, and lifestyle factors (Bernstein et al 2015, Peppercorn 2019[a], Peppercorn 2020[c]). • Complications of IBD include hemorrhage, rectal fissures, fistulas, peri-rectal and intra-abdominal abscesses, and colon cancer. Possible extra-intestinal complications include hepatobiliary complications, anemia, arthritis and arthralgias, uveitis, skin lesions, and mood and anxiety disorders (Bernstein et al 2015). • Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) are 2 forms of IBD that differ in pathophysiology and presentation; as a result of these differences, the approach to the treatment of each condition often differs (Peppercorn 2019[a]). • UC is characterized by recurrent episodes of inflammation of the mucosal layer of the colon. The inflammation, limited to the mucosa, commonly involves the rectum and may extend in a proximal and continuous fashion to affect other parts of the colon. The hallmark clinical symptom is an inflamed rectum with symptoms of urgency, bleeding, and tenesmus (Peppercorn 2020[c], Rubin et al 2019). • CD can involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract and is characterized by transmural inflammation and “skip areas.” Transmural inflammation may lead to fibrosis, strictures, sinus tracts, and fistulae (Peppercorn 2019[b]). • The immune system is known to play a critical role in the underlying pathogenesis of IBD. It is suggested that abnormal responses of both innate and adaptive immunity mechanisms induce aberrant intestinal tract inflammation in IBD patients (Geremia et al 2014).
