✅ Crohn’s patients with mod- to severe disease who had FAILED therapy w biologicals
✅ PLACEBO resulted in clinical remission in 30%, compared to 50% with upadacitinib
✅ 50% of patients on upadacitinib failed
✅ upadacitinib is an option, no panacea

I am very impressed, though, with all the studies until now that the placebo groups have so high rates of clinical remission.. 30% clinical remission?? How do you explain this?

➡️ Clinical endpoints to „soft“?, remission was defined as 30% less diarrhea
➡️ the 🧠 is strong-influences microbiome
➡️ what I don’t like is that in the maintenance group they compared 💊 responders to placebo (non-responders?). They should have compared to placebo responders

Thanks for your clear and honest thoughts on upadacitinib. Would you be willing to review a short newsletter (30 text lines) about upadacitinib and mod--severe Crohn's?
