Real-world data on clinical response to inflammatory bowel disease biological treatments in patients with concurrent primary sclerosing cholangitis: a case-control study.
Gastroenterology report

Real-world data on clinical response to inflammatory bowel disease biological treatments in patients with concurrent primary sclerosing cholangitis: a case-control study.

This study suggests that people with PSC-IBD may respond differently to some biologic treatments: infliximab and vedolizumab had similar early effectiveness versus IBD alone, but ustekinumab showed a lower early response...
