ABOUT ULCERATIVE COLITIS (UC)
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease of the large intestine, or colon, and rectum, in which the lining of the gastrointestinal tract becomes inflamed and develops ulcers. This condition is the result of an overactive immune system. UC affects 3.3 million patients in the US, Europe and Japan2. Despite broad therapeutic options, remission rates are only 25-30%3 leaving most patients without satisfactory treatments. 15% of patients4 fail to respond to all therapies and undergo surgery as a last option.
