Core Tip Despite the advent of biological drugs, conventional therapy continues to be used in moderate to severe inflammatory bowel disease (MS-IBD), especially in countries where biologics are not covered by insurance. In this systematic review, the effectiveness of conventional therapy for MS-IBD is assessed. There are few studies concerning objective outcomes, especially for remission maintenance, mucosal healing and fecal calprotectin. Additionally, studies are mainly of very low or low quality. As conventional therapy is usually the main therapy for MS-IBD and biologics are used in patients who fail to respond to conventional drugs, robust studies are required to further our understanding of the effectiveness of conventional therapy because it is prescribed to many IBD patients.
