@anatolitrabada The trial has several limitations ( e. g. mostly bio-naive patients) and the 8 week results are not that surprising. The safety profile is somehow surprising (no acne, no zoster, no lymphopenia?). However, what might be interesting will be the 12 months results: From W8 everybody
I’ve just updated the last 2 years of this IBD trial timeline
I think it may be useful to gain perspective: decades of trial names together reminds us how much the field has evolved and how fast it is still moving
Now including >250 trials🤩

@ibd_india I have talked with the company about this issue. They told me that upadacitinib is resorbed within two hours After taking the pill so it should be fine in most cases.
One-off application of CAR T-cell therapy leads to long term remission for a range of autoimmune diseases including SLE and more recently, IBD. Is this game changing therapy in the making? #UEGWeek
The gastroenterology and immunology communities are buzzing after a landmark NEJM publication (Sept 25, 2025) reported the first successful use of autologous CD19 CAR T-cell therapy in ulcerative colitis (UC). The patient, who had exhausted biologics and immunosuppressants, achieved sustained remission with mucosal healing—off all medications—for more than eight months.
So, what exactly is CAR-T, and why is this so exciting for IBD? 👇
Cellular therapy is making big moves in so many spaces!! 🔥 🎯
In a patient with treatment-resistant ulcerative colitis, CD19 CAR T-cell therapy led to drug-free remission and mucosal healing, suggesting that B-cell targeting may offer a novel therapeutic pathway. @NEJM

@GI_Pearls „One can argue that science, art, and ethics constitute the ultimate trifecta of medical practice“
Sapira‘s Art & Science of Bedside Diagnosis
@GI_Pearls Life‘s not always black and white and neither is the answer to the question. If there is nothing scientific then why ask this question at all? If we see science as a principle of investigation, medicine indeed is science.
@drkeithsiau I read it, too. That was new for me, never heard it before. @EvidenceOpen gives a NNT of 50. I would have guessed a thousand or something.
@drkeithsiau Despite of the individuality of treatment response (e. g. previous treatment failures) I honestly doubt some of the numbers. For example, when you compare the weeks between IFX, 5-ASA und Aza, it seems far from real life experience. How did they come up with These numbers?
