UP risk factors for progression; it is important to explain to patients they have a risk for extension of disease. Up to 20% of pateints require treatment intensification to an advanced therapy #AIBD2024 @IBDConference

Live from #AIBD2024: Some non-invasive IBD biomarkers are less reliable in ulcerative proctitis including intestinal ultrasound and fecal calprotectin @IBDConference Michael Chiorean

#AIBD2024 clinical trials stopped early due to significant improvement on tacrolimus for refractory UP. Significant clinical and endoscopic improvement seen. @IBDConference Michael Chiorean

#AIBD2024 mod-severe UP subgroup seen in etrasimod study; improved outcomes compared to more extensive colitis @IBDConference Michael Chiorean

Excellent UP treatment algorithm; consider use of topical/rectal tacrolimus before moving on to other advanced therapy. Consider etrasimod given UP subgroup in clinical trials. #AIBD2024 @IBDConference
