Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) has emerged as a strategy for treatment optimization in inflammatory bowel diseases to maximize benefit and to reach more stringent, objective end points. Optimal drug concentrations in inflammatory bowel disease vary according to treatment target, disease phenotype, inflammatory burden, and timing of sampling during the treatment cycle. This review provides an update on TDM with biologic and oral small molecules, evaluates the role of reactive vs proactive TDM, and identifies the gaps in current evidence. In the future, adaptations to how we use TDM may contribute further to the goal of personalized treatment in patients with IBD.
