    Deucravacitinib is a selective TYK2 inhibitor investigated for efficacy and safety in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

    Three phase 2 trials showed that deucravacitinib did not meet primary endpoints for clinical remission or response in IBD.

  • 3

    The studies included 239 patients with Crohn's disease and 169 with ulcerative colitis, with early termination for two trials.

  • 4

    Placebo groups exhibited high efficacy rates, indicating a lack of significant clinical benefit from deucravacitinib.

    Deucravacitinib was found to be safe and well tolerated, with a safety profile consistent with its use in psoriasis.
