Eli Lilly's Omvoh Outperforms J&J's Stelara in Crohn's Disease Phase III Trials
In the Phase III trial, Eli Lilly's Omvoh demonstrated superior performance over Johnson & Johnson's Stelara in treating Crohn's disease. By week 52, Omvoh achieved better histologic response rates, maintaining its efficacy even among patients who had previously experienced biologic treatment failures[1][2]. This performance was consistent across various patient demographics, using ECCO mucosal histopathology criteria[1]. Omvoh's distinct mechanism as an IL-23 inhibitor allowed it to target inflammation effectively, positioning it as a strong contender in the inflammatory bowel disease market[2].
