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.

Risankizumab induction therapy achieves early symptom improvements that are associated with future clinical and endoscopic outcomes in Crohn's disease: Post hoc analysis of the ADVANCE, MOTIVATE, and FORTIFY Phase 3 studies

This post hoc analysis provides additional support for the utility of risankizumab therapy in patients with moderately to severely active CD. Investigators examined the efficacy of risankizumab for providing early symptom relief, along with the prognostic value of early symptom relief for achieving future clinical and endoscopic endpoints.
