Key Messages

CADTH reimbursement reviews are comprehensive assessments of the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, as well as patient and clinician perspectives, of a drug or drug class.
The assessments inform non-binding recommendations that help guide the reimbursement decisions of Canada's federal, provincial, and territorial governments, with the exception of Quebec.
This review assesses risankizumab (Skyrizi), 600 mg IV infusion for induction therapy at week 0, week 4, and week 8, followed by maintenance therapy with risankizumab 360 mg by subcutaneous injection at week 12 and every 8 weeks thereafter.
Indication: The treatment of adults with moderately to severely active Crohn disease who have an inadequate response, intolerance, or demonstrated dependence to corticosteroids, or an inadequate response, intolerance, or loss of response to immunomodulators or biologic therapies.
