New data on Crohn’s disease presented at Digestive Disease Week in Chicago.

New studies show that patients with moderate to severe Crohn’s disease can maintain remission through three years of therapy with adalimumab (HUMIRA®). It appears that not only has adalimumab demonstrated its efficacy at the beginning of the treatment but it has also shown to maintain its effectiveness over the long-term – pretty important when considering how to manage a chronic condition like Crohn’s disease.
A secondary analysis of the same study demonstrated that patients being treated with adalimumab for Crohn’s disease may also be able to achieve long-term steroid-free remission.
