[FROM EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE TO PERSONALIZED MEDICINE IN CROHN'S DISEASE].

The therapeutic armamentarium in Crohn's disease includes mesalazine, steroids (including topical drugs), anti-metabolites (purines, methotrexate), anti-TNFα antibodies and, more recently, selective inhibitors of lymphocytes homing (vedolizumab). The efficacy of these drugs has been shown in pivotal phase 3 placebo-controlled trials and meta-analyses. However, the use of these drugs in routine practice still remains ill-defined. Those are rather the cohort studies, natural history data and therapeutic strategy trials that help the clinician to determine, for each individual patient, the treatment leading to an optimal benefit/risk profile, aiming at moving from evidence-based medicine towards personalized medicine.
