Risankizumab was noninferior to ustekinumab with respect to clinical remission at Week 24, and superior with respect to endoscopic remission at Week 48. This study aimed to present data from SEQUENCE, a direct head-to-head trial assessing the efficacy and safety of risankizumab vs ustekinumab in patients with moderate-to-severe CD, in whom at least one anti-TNF treatment had failed.

In this two-round modified RAM study by Solitano, et al., the authors found that experts preferred to assess JAK inhibitor risk on a case-by-case basis across all specialties. Uncertainty remained on several clinical scenarios regarding the appropriate use of JAK inhibitors, however they remain an important therapy option for the treatment of IMIDs and were deemed appropriate for patients with moderate risk profiles.
