Practical guidance for managing patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis using small molecule therapies
Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a severe and debilitating illness that affects the quality of life and physical health of many Canadians. Given the dynamic and progressive nature of the disease, advanced therapies are required to support its long-term management. The emergence of small molecule therapies offers novel treatment options that target mechanisms central to the immunopathology of UC. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulators and Janus-activated kinase inhibitors are 2 classes of therapies that target unique pathways to attenuate inflammation and modulate the immune response characteristic of UC. This review aims to provide practical guidance on how these therapeutic options can best be used to optimize treatment management and highlight the emerging role of small molecule therapies as a treatment strategy for UC.
