9 Inflammation is ongoing and resulting tissue damage is cumulative Digestive damage Progression of digestive damage and inflammatory activity in a theoretical patient with Crohn s disease Stricture Fistula / abscess Surgery Stricture Inflammatory activity (CDAI, CDEIS, CRP) Disease onset Pre-clinical Diagnosis Clinical Early disease CDAI: Crohn s disease activity index; CDEIS: Crohn s disease endoscopic index of severity; CRP: C-reactive protein Pariente B, et al. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2011

38 Adverse events Side effects are not significantly different from placebo NNH=100 Hanauer SB et al Loftus E. APT 2004 Adverse renal events are very low (<0.05%) Van Staa. Gastro 2004

39 Conclusions & take home message 5ASA has a place in the therapeutic armamentarium in IBD It is the first line induction and maintenance drug in mild-to-moderate UC Effective in induction and maintenance of remission in mild (to moderate) CD, especially in colonic disease may prevent postoperative recurrence Has a chemopreventive effect against CRC Excellent safety profile Special situations (pregnancy)
