Beyond tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-12/23: The rise of interleukin-23 inhibitors in inflammatory bowel disease management. (PubMed, Curr Opin Pharmacol)
Clinical trials of IL-23p19 inhibitors-such as risankizumab, mirikizumab, and guselkumab-have shown promising results in patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, with improvements in clinical and endoscopic outcomes and favorable safety profiles. With regulatory approvals expanding in both the United States and Europe, IL-23 inhibitors are now firmly established as a part of the IBD treatment landscape. Looking ahead, efforts are underway to identify biomarkers of response and to explore oral IL-23 inhibitors, with the goal of advancing more personalized and accessible care.
