Patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis (including pediatric patients 6+ for Crohn's), clinicians prescribing biologics, and caregivers of pediatric patients on TNF blockers.
This DailyMed entry is an FDA drug-label update for YUFLYMA (an adalimumab product). The label lists indications including treatment of moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease in adults and children 6 years and older, and ulcerative colitis in adults, and includes boxed warnings about serious infections and malignancy seen with TNF blockers.
The prescribing information emphasizes testing for latent tuberculosis before and during treatment, monitoring for serious infections and malignancy, and notes post-marketing reports of rare hepatosplenic T‑cell lymphoma in adolescent and young adult IBD patients treated with TNF blockers.
The label also describes concomitant immunosuppressant use (for example methotrexate or corticosteroids) as a common factor in patients who developed serious infections. If you take or manage patients on adalimumab products, this update is relevant to safety monitoring, screening steps (TB testing), and age indications described in the label.
The entry is a regulatory drug-label record and does not present new clinical trial results beyond labeling decisions.
