Danese et al. report that in the TUSCANY-2 study, afimkibart showed a favourable
benefit–risk profile with clinically meaningful improvements and early onset of response during induction, sustained through maintenance, and an acceptable safety profile with no safety signals. Danese et al. describe results from the Phase 2b TUSCANY-2 trial that evaluated the safety and efficacy of 50mg, 150mg, and 450mg doses of afimkibart in adults with moderately-to-severely active UC.
