Meeting the Needs of Patients With Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis: Novel Targets Mean New Opportunities (Archived CME/CE Monograph)
This educational activity has expired. You will not be able to claim credit for this activity.
Activity Description and Purpose
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by abdominal cramping, bloody stools, tenesmus, and urgency. Manifesting most often in adolescence and early adulthood, UC exhibits considerable clinical heterogeneity and frequently detracts from patient-related quality of life. Although the quantity and quality of options to treat UC has risen over time, opportunities remain to optimize care for those diagnosed with this highly disruptive disease. This educational activity summarizes strategies and considerations presented during a CME/CE symposium on May 21, 2021, during Digestive Disease Week 2021 and distributed with Gastroenterology. The desired results of this educational activity are to improve the care of patients living with UC.
Target Audience
This educational activity is intended for gastroenterologists, gastroenterology physician assistants, and nurse practitioners involved in the care of patients with ulcerative colitis.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, participants will be better able to:
- Discuss the importance of considering the effect of ulcerative colitis on patients’ quality of life
- Integrate disease activity and quality of life assessments into routine management of ulcerative colitis
- Describe the limitations associated with current treatments for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis
- Review current guidelines for treatment escalation as part of the management of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis
- Summarize recent clinical trials on emerging S1P treatments in ulcerative colitis
- Identify patients who would be good candidates for treatment with S1P modulators if and when they are approved
