Background/aims: Upadacitinib is a novel selective Janus kinase inhibitor approved for use in ulcerative colitis. Clinical trials had rigorous criteria and excluded many patient subgroups. Given limited real-world effectiveness data, we examined outcomes of patients treated with upadacitinib for ulcerative colitis in a real-world population.

Small molecule Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors have revolutionized the management of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) through their low immunogenicity, safety, and consistent pharmacologic response that are superior to existing therapeutic options. In this perspective, we highlight existing evidence supporting the use of currently approved JAK inhibitors (upadacitinib, tofacitinib, and filgotinib) for UC or CD, additionally emphasizing the evidence for their use in related autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthropathies. Our perspective concludes with a review of the existing comparative effectiveness literature, which positions JAK inhibitors, particularly upadacitinib, favorably compared with other biologic therapies.

Janus kinase-inhibitors (JAK-i) have recently been approved for treating patients with Ulcerative Colitis (); therefore, further information is needed, particularly regarding efficacy and safety. To provide a comprehensive review regarding the efficacy and safety of currently available JAK-i in UC. The PubMed and Scopus databases were considered, searching for 'JAK', 'JAK-inhibitor', 'Janus Kinases', 'Tofacitinib', 'Filgotinib', 'Upadacitinib', individually or in combination with 'IBD', 'Ulcerative Colitis', 'safety', 'efficacy', 'study' and 'trial'.
