What’s Next For Patients With Moderate UC When
5-ASAs Aren’t Enough?

Patients may experience symptoms associated with active disease

Common UC symptoms list

Common Ulcerative Colitis symptoms include1,2a:

  • Diarrhea
  • Rectal bleeding
  • Tenesmus/urgency
  • Increased stool frequency
  • Abdominal pain

5-ASA maintenance therapy may not deliver the relief that patients need

Steroids can provide short-term relief, but patients may become over-reliant

More than 1/3 of patients who filled sterooids after UC diagnosis became steroid dependant icon

Even though advanced therapy may be recommended, patients often refuse biologics

Almost 30% of patients deny or delay therapy due to concerns with biologics icon

Take the next step with ZEPOSIA—
the first oral advanced therapye that can be used before biologics7-9

A non-biologic, small molecule with oral dosing.7

  • aReduction of rectal bleeding and stool frequency symptoms were assessed in patients on ZEPOSIA.7
  • bIn a systematic review of 11 RCTs published from 1987-2014, 71% (n=1107/1550) of patients with mild-to-moderate UC failed to enter clinical remission while taking 5-ASAs.3
  • cIn a retrospective cohort study from 2001-2011 of newly diagnosed patients with UC (N=464, 92% male) who received CS for a flare, 38% (n=175) of patients who required further CS therapy met criteria for CS dependency.4
  • dAs reported in the multinational 2019 GAPPS survey of patients with UC (n=1030), 78% of which self-reported as having moderate/severe disease. Data is representative of a subset of patients (n=319) who responded to the question regarding opting against IBD treatment. The IBD GAPPS survey was conducted by Adelphi Real World and supported by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.6
  • eAdvanced therapies include S1P, biologics, and JAKi.

5-ASAs=5 aminosalicylic acids; CS=corticosteroids; IBD=inflammatory bowel disease; JAKi=Janus kinase inhibitor; RCTs=randomized controlled trials; S1P=sphingosine 1-phosphate; UC=ulcerative colitis.
