Upadacitinib is an oral Janus kinase inhibitor approved to treat moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. Studies have shown that upadacitinib is highly effective, though use has been limited in certain populations due to concerns of side effects. Outside of animal studies and rare case reports, there are little data for the safety of upadacitinib use in pregnancy. We report a case of a patient with left-sided ulcerative colitis recurrently exacerbated by pregnancies who responded to upadacitinib in her fourth pregnancy. Additional data will be helpful to establish the safety for Janus kinase inhibitors for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease patients during pregnancy.
乌帕替尼是一种口服的 Janus 激酶抑制剂,已被批准用于治疗中重度溃疡性结肠炎。研究表明,乌帕替尼疗效显著,不过由于对副作用的担忧,其在某些人群中的使用受到限制。除了动物研究和罕见病例报告外,关于乌帕替尼在孕期使用的安全性数据很少。我们报告了一例左侧溃疡性结肠炎患者,其病情因妊娠反复加重,在第四次妊娠时对乌帕替尼有反应。更多数据将有助于确定 Janus 激酶抑制剂在孕期治疗炎症性肠病患者的安全性。
