Intravenous iron has been considered dangerous by many clinicians. In the last two decades, considerable experience has been gained with new formulations in different clinical settings. Data from clinical trials, observational studies, and postmarketing surveillance studies demonstrate that intravenous iron is safe and effective to treat iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia. Iron deficiency is particularly common in many digestive diseases: oral iron often fails while transfusions are not without considerable risks. In particular, in inflammatory bowel diseases, there is enough evidence to recommend intravenous iron in moderate-to-severe iron deficiency anaemia, in intolerance to oral iron, and in patients needing quick recovery (pre-operative setting). New formulations make treatment even easier and more convenient. Recent guidelines are available for inflammatory bowel diseases, and new guidelines in acute and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding are needed.

Etrolizumab as induction and maintenance therapy in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (BERGAMOT): a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, phase 3 trial

William J. Sandborn, Julian Panes, Silvio Danese, Zaineb Sharafali, Azra Hassanali, Rhian Jacob-Moffatt, Christopher Eden, Marco Daperno, John F. Valentine, David Laharie, Carolina Baia, Raja Atreya, Remo Panaccione, Grazyna Rydzewska, Humberto Aguilar, Severine Vermeire

Summary: This study compared the safety and efficacy of two doses of Etrolizumab with placebo in patients with Crohn's disease. The results showed that during the maintenance phase, Etrolizumab significantly improved clinical remission and endoscopic improvement in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease compared to placebo. However, there was no significant difference in the effects of Etrolizumab and placebo on clinical remission and endoscopic improvement during the induction phase.

Vaccines in Children Exposed to Biological Agents In Utero and/or During Breastfeeding: Are They Effective and Safe?

Javier P. Gisbert, Maria Chaparro

Summary: Infants exposed to biological drugs in utero have adequate serological responses to vaccines, and there are no relevant adverse events for non-live inactivated vaccines. Live-attenuated vaccines should be avoided in children with detectable levels of biological drugs. Breastfeeding by mothers treated with biologics is considered safe for infants, and the benefits of breastfeeding while receiving treatment and adhering to infant immunization programs outweigh any potential risk.

Real-world observational cohort study of treatment patterns and safety outcomes of infliximab biosimilar CT-P13 for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (CONNECT-IBD)

Bernd Bokemeyer, Tibor Hlavaty, Matthieu Allez, Pamela Selema, Shahrzad Moosavi, Mary Jane Cadatal, Heather Fowler, Markus Mueller, Katherine F. Liau, Javier P. Gisbert

Summary: This study investigated the use of CT-P13 in the treatment of patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The results showed that the safety information for CT-P13 was consistent with the known safety profile for IFX and did not alter the established benefit-risk profile of CT-P13.

Ustekinumab improves health-related quality of life in patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease: Results up to Week 104 of the STARDUST trial

Summary: This study compared two treatment strategies for Crohn's disease patients and found that regardless of whether the treatment was "treat-to-target" or "standard of care", ustekinumab was effective in improving the health-related quality of life and work productivity of patients over a 2-year follow-up period.

Ng, Renata D'Inca, Pia Munkholm

Summary: The cost of caring for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) continues to increase worldwide due to the steady increase in prevalence, the chronic nature of the diseases, expensive treatments, intensive monitoring, and their impact on productivity. This Commission urges evaluation of cost increases against improved disease management and the need for data interoperability and big data approaches to assess effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. International collaborations and novel care models should be sought to enhance education and training for clinicians, patients, and policy makers.

Anti-TNF Agents and New Biological Agents (Vedolizumab and Ustekinumab) in the Prevention and Treatment of Postoperative Recurrence After Surgery in Crohn's Disease

Javier P. Gisbert, Maria Chaparro

Summary: Surgery is not a cure for Crohn's disease, and postoperative recurrence is common. This article critically reviews the role of anti-TNF agents and new biologics in preventing and treating postoperative recurrence in Crohn's disease. Anti-TNFs have been shown to be the most effective agents in preventing and treating postoperative recurrence, while the effectiveness of vedolizumab and ustekinumab is still unclear.

Summary: This study analyzed the effectiveness and safety of triple-dose administration of single capsule bismuth quadruple therapy (scBQT) in patients included in the European Registry on Helicobacter pylori Management. The results showed that the three times a day treatment schedule was more effective than the traditional four times a day schedule in terms of overall cure rates. There were no differences observed in treatment adherence or safety between the two regimens.
