Changes in therapeutic strategies for Crohn's disease are set to have a profound impact on its treatment landscape, exacerbating current and generating new treatment challenges for doctors, while presenting new and potentially lucrative opportunities for current and future market players. Sociable Pharma conducted in-depth primary research in the US and across Europe with six key opinion leaders to understand how these changes will impact therapy use in the future and also gauged opinion during the European Crohn's & Colitis Organisation's (ECCO) Annual Congress on the impact that new clinical data for existing and pipeline products will have on treatment strategies employed by inflammatory bowel disease specialists.
Highlights:

- Analyzes current treatment practices covering seven major drug classes: aminosalicylates (5-ASAs), corticosteroids, immunomodulators, anti-TNF therapies, antibiotics, probiotics and nutritional therapy
- Highlights opinion hotspots where treatment approaches differ between physicians and also between the US and Europe, such as the emerging treatment objective of complete mucosal healing
- Assesses the impact of the SONIC trial
