Join our panel of experts in gastroenterology and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) for this CME-accredited two-part webinar series on Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors and their application in clinical practice for IBD considering the recent European Medical Agency (EMA) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendations.

Webinar 1 provides an overview of JAK inhibitors, mechanisms of action, clinical data, and a discussion around current clinical practices.

Webinar 2 provides a roundtable discussion around JAK inhibitor safety data, recommendations, and implications for clinical practice.

This educational activity is free of charge.

Learning Objectives:

The goal of this activity is for learners to be better able to manage patients with IBD (such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) through detailed discussions related to JAK inhibitors as a treatment option in light of recent FDA and EMA recommendations.

Upon completion of this activity, learners will be able to:

  • Define and explain the terms such as: JAK inhibitors, PRAC (Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee) procedure, label change.
  • Evaluate the clinical evidence of JAK inhibitors in regards to IBD.
  • Identify and discuss the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medical Agency (EMA) recommendations of JAK inhibitor use in the context of IBD treatment.
  • Compare and contrast the recent EMA and FDA recommendations.
  • Explain and evaluate the PRAC procedure and decision-making outcomes in regards to clinical practice.
  • Recognise and use the recommendations from the PRAC and evaluate how this will impact clinical practice and recognise the most appropriate approach for each patient with clear explained choices.
