AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method for treating Crohn's disease using an anti-IL-23 specific antibody, such as guselkumab, which is administered to patients in an initial intravenous induction dose, followed by subcutaneous treatment every 4 or 8 weeks. The method has shown promising results in improving clinical endpoints in patients with Crohn's disease, including reducing disease activity, achieving clinical remission, and inducing durable clinical remission. The patent also describes a pharmaceutical composition containing the anti-IL-23 specific antibody in a specific formulation.

Problems solved by technology

Although the introduction of biologic agents has significantly improved the clinical management of patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease, a sizable proportion of the target patient population is non-responsive or will lose response over time.

Preclinical Evidence Implicating IL-23 as a Target in Crohn's Disease

[0195]Genetic and animal model studies have explored the contribution of IL-12 and IL-23 in driving the pathophysiology of Crohn's disease. The results indicate that IL-23 plays a predominant role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and emerging evidence suggests that blocking IL-23 alone may be a more effective strategy than blocking both IL-12 and IL-23.

[0196]Initial observations from genetic and animal model data suggest that Crohn's disease is mediated by IL-12 and / or IL-23, potentially through the Th1 and Th17 pathways they induce, respectively. However, increasing evidence suggests a predominant role for IL-23 in Crohn's disease. Genome-wide association studies identified polymorphisms in the IL-23R gene that are associated with Crohn's disease. The role of IL-23 in driving intestinal inflammation has been shown in several mouse models. Mice treated with anti-IL-23 antibodies exhibited attenuated inflammation...
