- SEQUENCE, a Phase 3 head-to-head study (study drug open-label and efficacy assessment blinded) compared risankizumab to ustekinumab for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who have failed one or more anti-TNFs1
- Risankizumab met both primary endpoints of non-inferiority for clinical remission (Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CDAI]) at week 24 and superiority of endoscopic remission at week 48 versus ustekinumab
- All secondary endpoints achieved statistical significance for superiority versus ustekinumab
- Safety results were consistent with the overall safety profile of risankizumab, with no new safety risks identified
