P084 DEEP REMISSION WITH DOUBLE BIOLOGIC THERAPY: A SUCCESSFUL CASE OF COMBINATION USTEKINUMAB AND VEDOLIZUMAB FOR SEVERE REFRACTORY CROHN’S DISEASE

Stricturing Crohn’s disease (CD) constitutes a severe phenotype often associated with a high degree of morbidity (3). Surgical resection is first-line therapy for symptomatic strictures, but most patients relapse without subsequent medical therapy (4-5). Biologics are the mainstay for inducing and maintaining remission, but some cases are refractory despite maximum dosage of therapy. Reports of dual biological therapy (DBT) in refractory, stricturing CD are sparse, and prior case reports document only clinical remission (1).
