Target Audience

Program Overview
Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR) modulators are a recently approved treatment option for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). However, many patients who would benefit from these advances in treatment are not receiving them. Furthermore, patients from non-White racial and ethnic backgrounds experience worse outcomes from UC, and face barriers to care and treatment. Optimized management for UC necessitates an up-to-date understanding of the therapeutic landscape and an equitable approach to treatment decision-making and care.
Join expert gastroenterologists, Florence-Damilola Odufalu, MD and Raymond Keith Cross Jr., MD, MS who will discuss the role of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulators in inducing and maintaining remission for patients with moderate-to-severe UC, provide guidance on how these therapies can be effectively integrated into management plans, and share strategies to address the unique challenges faced during the care of patients with UC across different races and ethnicities.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Discuss the burden of UC with a focus on the impacts of race and ethnicity on UC prognosis and care access
- Identify the role of S1P receptor modulators to induce and maintain remission of UC
- Establish strategies to break down barriers to UC care access among people of various races and ethnicities
