Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic inflammatory disorder. These guidelines indicate the preferred approach to management of adults with UC and represent official practice recommendations American College Gastroenterology. The scientific evidence for these was evaluated using Grading Recommendations Assessment, Development, Evaluation (GRADE) process. In instances where not appropriate GRADE, but there consensus significant clinical merit, “key concept” statements were developed expert...
Abstract Background The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s Cost of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Care Initiative seeks to quantify the wide-ranging health care costs affecting patients living with IBD. We aimed (1) describe annualized direct and indirect for disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC), (2) determine longitudinal drivers these costs, (3) characterize cost newly diagnosed patients. Methods analyzed Optum Research Database from years 2007 2016, representing commercially insured...
Clonidine and ICI 106270 are centrally acting antihypertensive agents which act through stimulation of medullary alpha-2 adrenoceptors. Both compounds equipotent agonists at adrenoceptors as assessed in functional studies isolated organs radioligand binding studies. In addition, clonidine possess the same degree selectivity for over alpha-1 after intracisternal administration to spontaneously hypertensive rats, consistent with observations made vitro that both adrenoceptor agonists. were...
The GEMINI long-term safety [LTS] study is a continuing phase 3 trial investigating the and efficacy of vedolizumab, an α4β7 integrin antagonist for ulcerative colitis [UC] Crohn’s disease. We provide interim analysis in patients with UC. Patients from C13004 1 studies cohort vedolizumab-naïve received open-label vedolizumab every 4 weeks. Interim data were collected May 22, 2009 to June 27, 2013. Clinical response remission, evaluated using partial Mayo scores, health-related quality life...
Vedolizumab is a gut-selective α4β7 integrin antagonist therapy for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

Background & AimsThe efficacy and safety of vedolizumab, a humanized immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody against the integrin α4β7, were demonstrated in multicenter, phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled trials patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease. We analyzed data from 1 these determine effects vedolizumab therapy UC, based on past exposure anti–tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF) antagonists.MethodsWe performed post hoc analysis GEMINI study,...
