About Crohn’s disease

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affecting the digestive tract. IBD results in the swelling or inflammation of the intestines, which may result in permanent damage and impact everyday life during disease flares. It is estimated that approximately 12.6 million people worldwide have IBD.

For many patients, Crohn’s disease occurs in the colon or the third segment of the small intestine, the ileum, but may occur in any part of the intestinal tract. Signs and symptoms of Crohn’s disease can range from mild to severe. Most often, symptoms appear gradually but can sometimes develop suddenly or without warning. Patients with Crohn’s disease may experience ongoing disease symptoms, or have episodes of symptom-free remission, which can be followed by relapse or flares. Patients with Crohn's disease are also at an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. Living with Crohn’s disease may severely affect quality of life both physically and psychologically, particularly during disease flares and relapses.

Bristol Myers Squibb: Pioneering Paths Forward in Immunology to Transform Patients’ Lives

Bristol Myers Squibb is inspired by a single vision – transforming patients’ lives through science. For people living with immune-mediated diseases, the debilitating reality of enduring chronic symptoms and disease progression can take a toll on their physical, emotional and social well-being, making simple tasks and daily life a challenge. Driven by our deep understanding of the immune system that spans over 20 years of experience, and our passion to help patients, the company continues to pursue pathbreaking science with the goal of delivering meaningful solutions that address unmet needs in rheumatology, gastroenterology, dermatology and pulmonology. We follow the science, aiming to tailor therapies to individual needs, improve outcomes and expand treatment options by working to identify mechanisms with the potential to achieve long-term remission – and perhaps even cures – in the future. By building partnerships with researchers, patients and caregivers to deliver innovative treatments, Bristol Myers Squibb strives to elevate patient care to new standards and deliver what matters most – the promise of living a better life.
