Adalimumab for the treatment of pediatric Crohn’s disease

Abstract: Inflammatory bowel diseases are characterized by a chronic relapsing course, high morbidity and impaired quality of life. Their incidence is rising, and about 25% of cases are diagnosed in pediatric age. Anti-TNF-α antibodies, such as infliximab and adalimumab (ADA), are usually administered in patients refractory to conventional therapies. However, increasing evidence suggests that they can be introduced earlier in the course of the disease, especially in patients with aggressive and extensive disease since d… Show more

“…TNFα is an inflammatory cytokine produced by macrophages/monocytes during acute inflammation such as seen with autoimmune disorders (Willrich et al, 2015). Adalimumab is a monoclonal antibody that inactivates TNFα thus reducing its inflammatory effects (Nuti et al, 2015;Willrich et al, 2015) and sold under the brand name Humira ® (AbbVie, Lake Bluff, Illinois, United States), among others (Scheinfeld, 2003;Coghlan et al, 2021). This monoclonal antibody has been used to treat a variety of inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, and uveitis, among others.…”

“…It modulates downstream processes mobilized or regulated by TNF-α by blocking its interaction with p75 and p55 cell surface TNF receptors after binding to TNF-α [ 140 ]. Adalimumab has been used in autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis, Crohn's disease, and noninfectious uveitis [ 141 143 ]. Although not widely used, adalimumab has been reported in adults and children to treat OIP, which can relieve symptoms and reduce the dose of glucocorticoids.…”
