Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the combination of upadacitinib (UPA) and intensive granulocyte and monocyte adsorptive apheresis (GMA) as a treatment for patients with intractable ulcerative colitis (UC) who have not responded to standard therapies.
- Among the eight patients treated, 50% achieved clinical remission within 10 weeks, with notable histological and endoscopic improvements seen in a majority.
- The treatment was generally safe, though some adverse effects occurred, including herpes zoster and temporary taste changes, indicating that this combination therapy could be a promising option for difficult cases of UC.
