In recent years, advancements in the understanding of the immunopathology of ulcerative colitis (UC) have resulted in a significant expansion of therapeutic options targeting several different pathological mechanisms. Despite these improvements, many patients continue to experience suboptimal control of their condition, including frequent flares and steroid dependence. Delays in starting biologic therapy contribute to inadequate disease control, and insufficient knowledge among clinicians regarding the efficacy and safety of new and emerging agents continue to create management challenges in a subset of patients. This educational activity will increase clinician understanding of the importance of early biologic therapy and the patient experience by exploring new and emerging treatments in UC and providing tools to assist clinicians in engaging patients in their treatment and disease management to lead to better adherence and improved patient-centered outcomes.
