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.

Results from the Phase 3 GRAVTI study by Hart et al. showed that SC induction followed by SC maintenance treatment with guselkumab resulted in superior clinical and endoscopic improvements in participants with moderately to severely active CD through 48 weeks compared with placebo. Hart et al. evaluated efficacy and safety of guselkumab SC induction followed by SC maintenance in participants with moderately to severely active CD in a treat-through design.
