A new drug seems to be making way as a treatment for moderate to severe Crohn’s Disease…
“The results were presented today at Digestive Disease Week 2006 (DDW). Results from PRECiSE 2 showed that 60.6% of patients who achieved disease remission during the four-week induction treatment with Cimzia, also remained in remission at six months while receiving once-monthly, subcutaneously administered Cimzia.”
