Outcome
Met primary endpoint
paper At week 52, more upadacitinib-treated vs placebo patients achieved CDAI clinical remission (upadacitinib 15 mg, 36.2% and upadacitinib 30 mg, 51.5% vs placebo, 15.2%). PMID 40738276 ↗
paper The rates of endoscopic response were 27.3% for upadacitinib 15 mg and 40.7% for upadacitinib 30 mg vs 7.2% for placebo. PMID 40738276 ↗
paper Consistent with the primary analysis, upadacitinib was more efficacious than placebo in achieving clinical and endoscopic endpoints in patients with Crohn's disease. PMID 40738276 ↗
release “The results showed that more patients treated with either dose of upadacitinib (15 mg or 30 mg once daily) achieved the co-primary endpoints” abbvie.com ↗
