EXTON, Pa., Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the latest report published as part of Spherix's RealWorld Dynamix™: Biologic/Small Molecule Switching in IBD (EU) service, EU gastroenterologists (n=285) have accelerated their switching of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) patients from anti-TNF therapies to treatments that include new pathways such as IL12/IL23 inhibition, α4β7 integrin binding, JAK inhibition, and S1P modulation.The Spherix study includes 1,280 unique IBD patient records from the EU5 (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK) that encapsulate patient-level data.

Key Points: 
  • The report also identifies a significant level of opportunity that still exists for new pathways and agents in IBD.
  • More specifically, 27% of UC patients and 30% of CD patients who have recently switched did so because of secondary efficacy failure.
  • The biosimilar therapies (infliximab and adalimumab) are the two treatment options most likely to trigger an efficacy-based switch.
  • In fact, when combining biosimilars and brands, TNF therapy represents the switch-from agent for a majority of all UC and CD patients.
