We should not look at these medications as weak or strong, but consider the needs of each patient individually, she says
Further randomized controlled trials and long-term observational studies are needed to validate its efficacy and safety profile
Because GLP-2 acts through subepithelial myofibroblasts, which are the same cell population implicated in intestinal fibrogenesis, the risk-benefit profile of GLP-2 agonism may differ substantially between mucosal UC, inflammatory ileal CD, and stricturing or penetrating CD phenotypes, and this phenotypic stratification should be a required feature of future trial design
