VEDOLIZUMAB, USTEKINUMAB AND TOFACITINIB AS TRIPLE THERAPY FOR ULCERATIVE COLITIS

Therapies for ulcerative colitis include mesalamine, immunomodulators, biologics, and small molecules. Unfortunately, patient response is not universal, and efficacy can diminish with time, postulated to be from increased drug clearance, anti-drug antibodies with biologics, and immune mediated pathogenesis changes. Biologic combinations have been investigated for producing synergistic drug effects and extending targeted therapy in patients lacking monotherapy response, with promise shown in two drug combinations (1), but not investigated using three.
