Abstract
Introduction: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, relapsing and remitting, inflammatory bowel disease. Monoclonal antibodies targeting interleukin (IL)-23p19 have been developed to treat chronic inflammatory diseases mediated by aberrant IL23/Th17 responses, including psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and Crohn's disease. More recently, these agents have been evaluated for the treatment of moderately-to-severely active UC.
Areas covered: In this review, we summarize and discuss phase 2 and pivotal phase 3 clinical trials informing the efficacy and safety of mirikizumab (AMAC, LUCENT, and SHINE), risankizumab (INSPIRE, COMMAND), and guselkumab (QUASAR, VEGA). The literature search included original research publications, secondary publications, and preliminary data from conference abstracts presented at international gastroenterology meetings from the past 5 years.
Expert opinion: The approval of IL23p19 antagonists expands the armamentarium of effective and safe therapies for patients living with moderately-to-severely active UC. These agents demonstrate potent efficacy for both inducing and maintaining symptomatic and objective disease endpoints, including endoscopic, histologic, and biomarker remission. These well-tolerated agents are effective in both advanced treatment-naïve and experienced patients. Accordingly, IL23p19 antagonists have the potential to be used in a diverse population of patients with UC, and as potential platform therapies for future combinations with other targeted immunomodulatory agents.
期刊介绍:
Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy (1471-2598; 1744-7682) is a MEDLINE-indexed, international journal publishing peer-reviewed research across all aspects of biological therapy.
Each article is structured to incorporate the author’s own expert opinion on the impact of the topic on research and clinical practice and the scope for future development.
The audience consists of scientists and managers in the healthcare and biopharmaceutical industries and others closely involved in the development and application of biological therapies for the treatment of human disease.
The journal welcomes:
Reviews covering therapeutic antibodies and vaccines, peptides and proteins, gene therapies and gene transfer technologies, cell-based therapies and regenerative medicine
Drug evaluations reviewing the clinical data on a particular biological agent
Original research papers reporting the results of clinical investigations on biological agents and biotherapeutic-based studies with a strong link to clinical practice
Comprehensive coverage in each review is complemented by the unique Expert Collection format and includes the following sections:
Expert Opinion – a personal view of the data presented in the article, a discussion on the developments that are likely to be important in the future, and the avenues of research likely to become exciting as further studies yield more detailed results;
Article Highlights – an executive summary of the author’s most critical points.
