Presented at United European Gastroenterology Week (UEGW), the data provide an insight into key safety events among adults 60 years and older treated with the interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-23 blocking antibody for up to five years.

The results show similar rates of such events, compared with placebo, during the control phase of the trials in question.
