IL23p19 therapies for moderately-to-severely active ulcerative colitis

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.
