The safe and effective use of tofacitinib and ustekinumab combination therapy in infantile onset inflammatory bowel disease.
JPGN reports

The safe and effective use of tofacitinib and ustekinumab combination therapy in infantile onset inflammatory bowel disease.

The report suggests tofacitinib (a JAK inhibitor), alone or combined with ustekinumab, could be an effective option for some infants with treatment-refractory IOIBD — a population with few evidence-based alternatives. If...

Effectiveness of tofacitinib as rescue therapy in biological-naive patients with steroid-refractory acute severe ulcerative colitis: a multicentric retrospective analysis.
European journal of gastroenterology & hepatology

Effectiveness of tofacitinib as rescue therapy in biological-naive patients with steroid-refractory acute severe ulcerative colitis: a multicentric retrospective analysis.

This study suggests tofacitinib may work quickly as a rescue option for biologic‑naive patients with steroid‑refractory ASUC and that many achieved steroid‑free remission by 24 weeks — information that could matter when...

Anti-inflammatory efficacy of diosgenin in an oxazolone-induced model of ulcerative colitis in mice via suppression of Th2 pathways and pSTAT3 expression: A prospective study.
Science progress

Anti-inflammatory efficacy of diosgenin in an oxazolone-induced model of ulcerative colitis in mice via suppression of Th2 pathways and pSTAT3 expression: A prospective study.

A natural compound (diosgenin) reduced disease signs and inflammatory markers in a mouse model of ulcerative colitis, suggesting a possible anti-inflammatory mechanism that could inform future preclinical research.
