Recent advancements in the treatment landscape of ulcerative colitis (UC) have ushered in a new era of possibilities, particularly with the introduction of Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription inhibitors. These novel agents offer a paradigm shift in UC management by targeting key signaling pathways involved in inflammatory processes. With approved JAK inhibitors (JAKis), such as tofacitinib, filgotinib, and upadacitinib, clinicians now have powerful tools to modulate immune responses and gene expression, potentially revolutionizing the treatment algorithm for UC.
