OVERVIEW
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is the most common inflammatory
bowel disease (IBD) worldwide, with approximately 600,000
Americans living with UC. Ulcerative colitis is characterized by an
overactive immune response to the gut enteric flora, resulting in
bowel inflammation and ulceration. As one study demonstrated
that approximately 80% of studied patients with IBD received
suboptimal therapy, there is substantial room for improvement
in the care of patients with IBD. Several agents with a variety of
mechanisms of action are now in clinical development or available
for the treatment of UC. As the therapeutic landscape for UC
continues to evolve, physicians need to be aware of how these
agents can be used to optimize outcomes for patients. This CME
activity addresses the mechanisms of action, efficacy, safety, and
recommended usage of available and emerging therapies for the
management of moderate-to-severe UC. Preclinical and clinical
data on novel immunomodulators for UC will be discussed.
LEARNINGOBJECTIVES
Upon successful completion of this educational activity,
participants should be beer able to:
•
Review the mechanisms of action of available and
emerging therapeutic agents for the management of
moderate-to-severe UC.
•
Evaluate the preclinical and clinical data regarding the
safety and efficacy of new and emerging therapeutic
agents for the management of moderate-to-severe UC.
•
Differentiate available and emerging therapies for the
management of moderate-to-severe UC based on
mechanism of action, safety, efficacy, and administration.
TARGETAUDIENCE
The intended audience for this activity is gastroenterologists
and other health care professionals involved in the treatment
of patients with ulcerative colitis.
