Ulcerative Colitis – Current Treatment – Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis – Adult Ulcerative Colitis (US)
The treatment landscape for ulcerative colitis (UC) is evolving rapidly, driven by the introduction of novel therapies and shifting prescribing patterns. Treatment typically begins with conventional agents (e.g., 5-aminosalicylic acids [5-ASAs]) that are often effective for those patients with mild to moderate disease. Treatment then progresses to more-potent drugs, such as immunosuppressants and/or biologics, as needed. Among the biologics, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors (Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine’s Remicade and AbbVie’s Humira), a cell adhesion molecule (CAM) inhibitor (Takeda’s Entyvio), and an IL-12/23 inhibitor (Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine’s Stelara) are the mainstays of treatment, followed by oral targeted therapies comprising Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors (Pfizer’s Xeljanz / Xeljanz XR and AbbVie’s Rinvoq). However, later-to-market drugs, such as sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor (S1P-R) modulators (Bristol Myers Squibb’s Zeposia and Pfizer’s Velsipity) and IL-23 inhibitors (Eli Lilly’s Omvoh, AbbVie’s Skyrizi, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine’s Tremfya), are increasing the competition among later-line targeted therapies. The availability of infliximab biosimilars and adalimumab biosimilars in the United States are further impacting market dynamics.
