Seven abstracts accepted for presentation include data from long-term follow-up studies and a post-hoc analysis of the pivotal LIBERTY studies (LIBERTY-CD and LIBERTY-UC) of ZYMFENTRA® (infliximab-dyyb)
Findings emphasize clinical decision-making in long-term management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), reinforcing Celltrion's commitment to elevating the standard of care and addressing unmet medical need in gastroenterology
April 21, 2026 -- Celltrion, Inc. today announced that seven abstracts will be presented at the 2026 Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) Annual Meeting, taking place May 2-5 in Chicago, Illinois. The oral and poster presentations will feature data including post-hoc analysis of its pivotal LIBERTY studies (LIBERTY-CD and LIBERTY-UC) of ZYMFENTRA®, the first and only FDA-approved subcutaneous infliximab.
"The findings provide additional evidence that disease control can be effectively recaptured with a convenient subcutaneous option, with the potential to advance the treatment paradigm for people living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis," said Juby Jacob-Nara, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Celltrion USA. "The research Celltrion is presenting at DDW reflects our ongoing commitment to transforming IBD care through innovative therapies that improve patient outcomes."
Celltrion is driving scientific discovery and expanding access to comprehensive clinical and real-world evidence to support informed treatment decisions in an increasingly complex and evolving IBD landscape.
ZYMFENTRA® (infliximab-dyyb) is a prescription medicine used as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection) by adults for the maintenance treatment of moderately-to-severely active ulcerative colitis following treatment with an infliximab product given by intravenous infusion (IV), Moderately-to-severely active Crohn's disease following treatment with an infliximab product given by intravenous infusion (IV). ZYMFENTRA blocks the action of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a protein that can be overproduced in response to certain diseases and cause the immune system to attack normal, healthy parts of the body.
ZYMFENTRA was approved by the FDA through the Biologics License Application (BLA) under the 351 (a) pathway of the Public Health Service Act (a "stand-alone" BLA). ZYMFENTRA is considered a new biologic with a first-approved subcutaneous administration form and thus will be under patent protection for its dosage form by 2037 and for its route of administration by 2040.
Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) is the largest international gathering of physicians, researchers and academics in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy and gastrointestinal surgery. Jointly sponsored by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract (SSAT), DDW is an in-person and online meeting from May 2-5, 2026.
