Article Abstract

Upadacitinib is a selective JAK-1 inhibitor approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and more recently, ulcerative colitis. Phase II trials demonstrated that upadacitinib induces endoscopic remission in patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease. However, real-world data are lacking. We present a short report on our experience with off-label upadacitinib in patients with CD at a tertiary center. In this cohort of medically refractory patients with CD, treatment with upadacitinib resulted in subjective and objective responses in 25 and 42% of patients, respectively. Even at doses that are considered lower than currently being studied for CD, upadacitinib was associated with a favorable benefit-to-risk profile.

Background And Aims: Despite therapeutic advances, resection rates in Crohn's disease remain high. Kono-S is a novel anastomosis for ileocolonic resections; however, its altered configuration may challenge standard endoscopic assessment, particularly in the absence of validated scoring tools. This study evaluated the endoscopic assessment of Kono-S anastomosis anatomy and recurrence stratification using Rutgeert's score.
