  • In ulcerative colitis patients with a clinical response to risankizumab induction treatment, a significantly higher proportion of patients treated with risankizumab (180 mg or 360 mg) achieved the primary endpoint of clinical remissiona (per Adapted Mayo Score) at week 52 compared to withdrawal from risankizumab treatment1
  • Key secondary endpoints were met, including endoscopic improvementb, histologic endoscopic mucosal improvementc and steroid-free remissiond at one year
  • Safety results in this study were consistent with the known safety profile of risankizumab, with no new safety risks observed1
  • Building on AbbVie's growing gastroenterology portfolio, risankizumab is an IL-23 inhibitor being evaluated as a treatment for adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis and approved for Crohn's disease, psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis1
