Thank you @AGA_CGH for sharing our study on the safety & clinical effectiveness of GLP-1RA in IBD pts
@PennIBDDoc @FITWITMD @JamesLewisGIEpi
@DrsMeena @blakely_md #GLP1RA #IBD
✔️GLP-1RA=safe & effective for wt loss in IBD
✔️CD and UC pts had reduced CRP

🔥 HOT FROM ACG 2026 | NASHVILLE
Five IBD Studies Worth a Closer Look!
Another exciting ACG meeting, another opportunity to reflect on where IBD care is heading.
From innovative drug delivery strategies to better symptom control, complex patient populations, and reproductive health, the science continues to evolve.
For this special edition of IBD Library™, we invited Dr. @AsadurRahman87 , Medical Director of the IBD Center and Associate Program Director of the GI Fellowship at Cleveland Clinic Florida, to review five interesting studies presented at ACG 2026.
🔬 What's inside?
💉 Subcutaneous vs IV infliximab: Could route of administration influence outcomes in ileal Crohn's disease?
💊 Risankizumab AFFIRM trial: Another step toward an entirely subcutaneous treatment strategy.
🌙 Obefazimod in UC: Because bowel urgency and uninterrupted sleep matter to our patients.
🩺 JAK inhibitors in PSC associated IBD: Exploring options for a particularly challenging population.
👶 Fertility and IBD: Encouraging insights from the WIsDoM cohort on assisted reproductive technology.
Innovation in IBD is no longer just about introducing another effective molecule. It is also about how we deliver treatment, what outcomes we prioritize, and how we address the needs of patients often underrepresented in clinical trials.
Of course, conference abstracts generate important questions, but not necessarily immediate changes in practice.
A special thank you to Dr. Asad ur Rahman for contributing his expertise to this edition of IBD Library™.
📖 Enjoy the review, and let us know:
Which of these five studies caught your attention the most?

1/3:
What #IBD meds work in ileal vs colonic CD? @AGA_CGH @AmerGastroAssn
✅Works in ileaIl: IL-23s and VDZ (!)
🟠Doesn’t work: JAKi (!)
Caveats - but damn clever study.

Los agonistas del receptor de GLP-1 no solo bajan glucosa y peso, cada vez hay más evidencia de un efecto antiinflamatorio directo en múltiples órganos.
La inflamación crónica es el hilo que conecta diabetes, enfermedad cardiovascular, hígado y cerebro.

Survey link: tinyurl.com/37pufehu
Wash U in collaboration with UNMC, Mayo Clinic, Cedars Sinai and SAIA / IBDesis is conducting a survey to better understand patient experiences with weight management and metabolic health in IBD.
Please take the following survey: wustl.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/…. This survey is available across the globe for our patients who would like to have a voice on the topic!
And always know that your lived experiences will guide future research, education, and discussion on the cutting-edge topic of #obesity & #IBD.
If interested in participating in a PPI Day to further this research, please email @jalpa_devi and join us on Friday, June 5th from 11am to 1pm CDT. Thank you very much!

Absolutely agree @ibdtweets
As gastroenterologists, we need to move past the outdated idea that IBD is only a disease of undernutrition.
📊 The evidence is clear:
Obesity increases the risk of Crohn’s disease
It is associated with more active disease and poorer outcomes
It may reduce response to therapy
And it increases surgical risk
Visceral fat—especially mesenteric fat—is biologically active and can fuel intestinal inflammation. This has real implications for how we counsel patients, dose therapies, and design multidisciplinary care models.
💡 Obesity in IBD is not a failure—it’s a modifiable risk factor and an opportunity to improve outcomes.
Proud to share this educational work through IBD Library™.
