UCB sponsoring several presentations on Cimzia for Crohn's disease at DDW 2015

UCB, a global biopharmaceutical company focusing on immunology and neurology treatment and research, is sponsoring several data presentations on Cimzia^® (certolizumab pegol) at Digestive Disease Week 2015, taking place in Washington, DC from May 16-19.

"UCB is committed to supporting ongoing research that generates new clinical insights into our immunological treatments," said Professor Dr. Iris Loew Friedrich, Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President, UCB. "Research on Cimzia after its initial US approval in 2008 has spanned seven years and these latest results contribute to the body of evidence supporting its important role as a treatment for Crohn's disease."

In the U.S., CIMZIA^® is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms of Crohn's disease and maintaining clinical response in adult patients with moderately to severely active disease who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy.
