Swiss drugmaker Ferring Pharmaceuticals has announced positive results from the OPTIMISE study in ulcerative colitis (UC).
UC is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease causing symptoms like diarrhea, stomach pain, and extreme tiredness. Over 85% of people with this condition have mild-to-moderate disease.
The data represent the first real-world evidence that a treat-to-target approach based on fecal calprotectin monitoring can benefit patients with mild-to-moderate UC, suggesting an advantage over symptom-based management alone.
