Original Abstract of the Article

Major Findings

Ozanimod is a new oral medication that has shown promise in treating moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. 3 Ozanimod is a sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator that selectively targets S1P1 and S1P5 receptors. 9 Ozanimod is also used for treating clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting, and secondary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). 2 Ozanimod selectively modulates S1P1 and S1P5 receptors to prevent autoreactive lymphocytes from entering the central nervous system (CNS) where they can promote nerve damage and inflammation. 2 Ozanimod has been shown to be effective and well tolerated for treating MS. 2 However, ozanimod is associated with some complications such as an increased risk of infections, liver injury, fetal risk, increased blood pressure, respiratory effects, macular edema, and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. 2 More research is needed to evaluate the efficacy of ozanimod compared with other S1P1 receptor modulators. 2 Ozanimod has also been shown to be safe for the heart in patients with ulcerative colitis. 3 In the case of multiple sclerosis, more research is needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ozanimod compared with other S1P1 receptor modulators. 2 More research is also needed to determine whether ozanimod has any effect on cognitive function in patients with MS. 14 Ozanimod may affect the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in patients with MS. 10 Ozanimod may be a potential treatment for antibiotic-refractory chronic pouchitis in patients with ulcerative colitis. 6 Ozanimod should not be used in pregnant or breastfeeding women. 11 More research is needed to evaluate the cardiac safety of ozanimod in patients with ulcerative colitis. 1 In patients with multiple sclerosis, switching from fingolimod to ozanimod may be a strategy to adjust fingolimod-related lymphopenia. 5 Ozanimod may cause unique lymph node histological changes in patients with ulcerative colitis. 8 Ozanimod can cause cystoid macular edema in patients with ulcerative colitis.

Benefits and Risks

Benefits Summary

Ozanimod has shown promise in treating moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. 3 Ozanimod is also used for treating clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting, and secondary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). 2 In patients with multiple sclerosis, switching from fingolimod to ozanimod may be a strategy to adjust fingolimod-related lymphopenia. 5

Risks Summary

Ozanimod is associated with some complications such as an increased risk of infections, liver injury, fetal risk, increased blood pressure, respiratory effects, macular edema, and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. 2 More research is needed to evaluate the cardiac safety of ozanimod in patients with ulcerative colitis. 1 Ozanimod may cause unique lymph node histological changes in patients with ulcerative colitis. 8 Ozanimod can cause cystoid macular edema in patients with ulcerative colitis.

Comparison of Studies

Similarities of Studies

These studies show that ozanimod is a promising treatment for both ulcerative colitis and multiple sclerosis. 3 2 Ozanimod works by selectively modulating S1P1 and S1P5 receptors to regulate immune cell function. 2 9

Differences of Studies

These studies highlight the need for more research on the cardiac safety, cognitive function, immune response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, and safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding in patients taking ozanimod. 3 2 14 10 11

Consistency and Discrepancies of Results

These studies indicate that ozanimod is effective for treating ulcerative colitis and multiple sclerosis but more research is needed on the cardiac safety, cognitive function, immune response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, and safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding in patients taking ozanimod. 3 2 14 10 11

Implications for Everyday Life

Ozanimod is a new oral medication that has shown promise in treating moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. 3 Ozanimod is also used for treating clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting, and secondary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). 2 If you are considering taking ozanimod, it is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits with your doctor. 2

Limitations of Current Research

These studies are relatively small and more research is needed. 3 2 More research is needed on the cardiac safety, cognitive function, immune response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, and safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding in patients taking ozanimod. 3 2 14 10 11

Future Research Directions

More research is needed on the cardiac safety, cognitive function, immune response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, and safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding in patients taking ozanimod. 3 2 14 10 11 More research is also needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ozanimod compared with other S1P1 receptor modulators. 2

Conclusion

Ozanimod is a promising new oral medication for treating moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis and multiple sclerosis. 3 2 However, more research is needed on the cardiac safety, cognitive function, immune response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, and safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding. 3 2 14 10 11 If you are considering taking ozanimod, talk to your doctor about the potential risks and benefits. 2
