Ralley Prentice Bincy Abraham, MD, MS IBD Horizons Maia Kayal MD Britt Christensen, MBBS MPH PhD Jill Gaidos, MD Marita Kametas Madhuri Badrinath Catherine Bonnar Jessica Philpott PIANO True but,,, also true that the greatest pregnancy risk is uncontrolled disease, which is > than any medication (except Mtx). I am comfortable extrapolating from other IgG1 mAbs or USTK as far as the safety of Risa. I lose a lot more sleep over flares during 🤰. Need for speed

That's also an option. I tend to maximize current therapy before moving on. If levels of UST was low I would reinduce if possible too. But if great levels I would switch mechanism of action
