Résumé
Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are remitting-relapsing inflammatory diseases often culminating in disease complications and/or need for surgery. Biologic monoclonal antibody drugs ('Biologics') are efficacious for both diseases, but there are no systematic assessments of their efficacy if administered early after disease onset ('top-down' strategy) vis-à-vis later in the course of disease ('step-up' approach).
