Résumé

Filgotinib is a small molecule that selectively inhibits Janus kinase (JAK) type 1. It is already approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and is being evaluated for the management of patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC). The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the currently available data on filgotinib and to define how to position this new drug in the treatment algorithm of patients with ulcerative colitis.
