On BMS and IBD
Bristol Myers Squibb is Focused on Advancing Care for Patients
At Bristol Myers Squibb, we are committed to developing transformational therapies that meet the needs of patients living with IBD. Our researchers follow the science to pursue novel targets and innovative approaches that may lead to new therapeutic options as well as disease prevention strategies. As we conduct clinical trials, we have an opportunity to deepen our understanding of IBD and analyze critical data that may offer new insights that advance research and, ultimately, care for patients.
As part of our efforts, we developed and fielded the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Global Assessment of Patients and Physician Unmet Needs Survey (IBD GAPPS) in 2019 to better understand the impact of the evolving IBD treatment landscape on the needs of patients with both UC and Crohn’s disease, as well as their doctors. Through talking with more than 2,300 patients and more than 650 gastroenterologists around the world, we gathered critical insights into patient and prescriber perceptions of unmet needs, aiming to help the IBD community take an important step forward in treating IBD.16
With our focus on transforming care for patients, we are continuing to work towards developing therapies that will lead to lasting remission for those living with immune-mediated diseases.
