Ulcerative Colitis | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | Adult | US | 2018

The primary goal of ulcerative colitis (UC) treatment is to induce and maintain remission with few to no clinical symptoms remaining. Conventional therapies (e.g., 5-ASAs, corticosteroids) are typically used to treat mild to moderate patients, whereas IV and subcutaneous TNF-α inhibitors are primarily reserved for moderate to severe patients refractory to conventional treatment or for first-line treatment in the most severe patients. Lack of primary response or loss of response to TNF-α inhibitors is an ongoing concern; however, the IV-delivered CAM inhibitor Entyvio (Takeda) is a recent entry to the treatment armamentarium that offers an alternative mechanism of action for these patients, and has led to increasing competition among the biologics.
