  • An additional benefit is not proven.
  • For adult patients with moderate to severe active Crohn’s disease who have responded inadequately to conventional therapy or a biologic, no longer respond to it or have been unable to tolerate it, there are no direct comparative studies of upadacitinib against the appropriate comparator therapy.
  • Consequently, there are no data relevant to the benefit assessment of upadacitinib.

b) Adults with moderate to severe active Crohn’s disease who have responded inadequately to a biologic (TNF-α antagonist, integrin inhibitor or interleukin inhibitor), have lost response to it or have been unable to tolerate it

  • The additional benefit is not proven.
  • For adult patients with moderate to severe active Crohn’s disease who have responded inadequately to conventional therapy or to a biologic, no longer respond to it, or have been unable to tolerate it, there are no direct comparative studies of upadacitinib against the appropriate comparator therapy.
