Early Crohn’s disease: can we change the disease course? Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Published online: 14 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41575-025-01072-wCurrent treatments for Crohn’s disease prioritize early intervention with biological therapies, with several landmark trials demonstrating that starting biologic agents within the first years of diagnosis leads to superior patient outcomes. Although challenges remain, early use of biological treatments is increasingly supported in managing moderate to severe Crohn’s disease.
