The anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibody infliximab is a major biological therapy for inflammatory bowel disease. Biological therapy, the use of medications called biopharmaceuticals or biologics that are tailored to specifically target an immune or genetic mediator of disease, plays a major role in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

Researchers estimate about 10 million people around the world live with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). There are two main types of IBD: ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. There is ...
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and naproxen, can cause flares of inflammatory bowel disease in approximately 25% of patients. [46] These flares tend to occur within one week after starting regular use of the NSAID. In contrast, acetaminophen (paracetamol) and aspirin appear to be safe. [46]
In one main study in adult patients with moderate to severe active Crohn's disease in whom conventional therapy or TNF-alpha antagonists were ineffective or could not be tolerated, vedolizumab was shown to be more effective than placebo: 15% (32 out of 220) of patients receiving vedolizumab showed improved symptoms after 6 weeks of treatment, compared with 7% (10 out of 148) of patients on ...
Obesity, which creates ongoing, chronic inflammation in the body, is increasingly associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and may negatively influence the disease course.
Abivax focuses on the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases, namely ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). Its lead drug candidate, obefazimod, is an oral, first-in-class, small molecule that has demonstrated safety and tolerability as well as profound anti-inflammatory activity in preclinical as well as clinical trials in UC.
Classes of biologics typically used for psoriatic arthritis include TNF inhibitors, anti-IL17-A antibodies, IL-23 antibodies, and those that act on both IL-12 and IL-23. [7] Biologics can treat inflammatory bowel disease. Classes of biologics typically used for inflammatory bowel disease include TNF inhibitors, and anti-CD28 antibodies. [6]
