Taking aspirin contributes to a reduced risk of several gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies, such as colorectal cancer (CRC), liver cancer, stomach cancer, and pancreatic cancer, as shown by the results of a 20-year study presented at ASCO GI 2025. However, no association is seen with most non-GI cancers.

A retrospective analysis has shown that increasing the dose of subcutaneous infliximab (CT-P13 SC) from 120 to 240 mg Q2W in patients with inflammatory bowel disease who initially responded but subsequently lost response leads to improved clinical efficacy over an extended period.

Among patients who undergo primary RYGB to treat obesity, those whose surgery is augmented with a prefabricated gastric ring lose significantly more of their initial weight at 5 years, a matched cohort study has found

Among the many biologics used to treat adults with moderate-to-severe Crohn’s disease (CD), infliximab subcutaneous (SC) 120 mg every 2 weeks (Q2W) demonstrates the highest efficacy in clinical remission during maintenance treatment of 52 to 64 weeks’ duration, according to the results of a recent study presented at CCC 2025.

Initial findings from the ongoing VIVID-2 open-label extension (OLE) study comprising week 52 endoscopic responders from the phase III VIVID-1 trial demonstrate the long-term clinical and endoscopic efficacy of the selective anti-interleukin-23p19 monoclonal antibody mirikizumab for the treatment of moderate-to-severe active Crohn’s disease (CD).

Escalating the dose of subcutaneous (SC) CT-P13, a biosimilar of infliximab, from 120 to 240 mg every 2 weeks appears to bring back the efficacy of the drug in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who no longer respond to treatment, suggests a study presented at 2025 Crohn's & Colitis Congress.
