Drug discovery and development for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is hampered by various challenges including the insufficient mechanistic understanding of IBD immunopathology, disease heterogeneity, inadequate preclinical models and clinical trial inefficiencies. This Perspective assesses these limitations and presents strategies to overcome them, including the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches, organoid technology and innovative trial designs.
