Abstract Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic immune‐mediated inflammatory condition which can negatively impact a patient's quality of life. The traditional management strategy for CD has focused on symptomatic control, however, this approach fails to prevent organ damage and to change the progressive course of this disease. Thus, the field has moved towards a treat‐to‐target strategy that includes identifying individualized objective targets, choosing a therapy based on individual factors that include disease severity and risk, closely monitoring disease activity at predefined time points, and optimizing therapies as needed. Due to the increasing number of therapies approved for CD, this review explores the various factors which should be considered in the sequencing of treatment options together with using the treat‐to‐target framework to control disease activity early in its course and provide holistic patient care.
