🔍 26 RCTs (10K+ pts) show NO significant ↑ in MACE, VTE, or CV events with JAKis (tofa, upa, filgo, etc.) vs placebo in UC/CD.
Dose caveats: Tofa 5mg BID slight MACE nudge; Upa 30mg VTE trend. But Deucra? Cuts VTE/CV risks by 97%! Safest rank.
Reassuring for IBD docs—JAKs viable, esp low-risk pts.

💥Worried that SQ IFX has low drug levels?
You'd be wrong....@AGA_CGH@AmerGastroAssn.
🔘426 on IV -> SQ
🔘~40% on intensified IFX
⏺️ 48 wk follow up
🟢 IV trough = 8
🟢 Wk 48 SQ IFX trough = 18.
SQ = higher drug level in most.
Done.

The IBUS Regional Workshop Module 1 Workshop in Chicago on November 4th was an incredible experience!
A huge thank you to all the participants and faculty for your valuable contributions. Here’s a look back at the highlights from the workshop!💪🏼
Generics have saved Americans trillions of dollars, in part because their streamlined development process facilitates competition. Now, we’re bringing the same level of competition to expensive biologic drugs.
📣 We want your input!
New #IBD quality indicators are open for public comment — designed to promote evidence-based, consistent care for #CrohnsDisease & #UlcerativeColitis patients.
