Cyclic exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) may offer a powerful non-pharmacologic strategy to sustain remission in paediatric Crohn’s disease.

The CD-HOPE trial shows significantly lower relapse rates with cyclic EEN compared to partial enteral nutrition (49% vs 76%) over 12 months-supporting its role in maintaining drug-free remission.

A promising step toward nutrition-led disease management in selected patients.

This video summarizes key findings from the CD-HOPE randomized trial evaluating nutritional maintenance strategies in paediatric Crohn’s disease. The study c...
