flag China approves VELSIPITY for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis patients unresponsive to other treatments.

flag China’s NMPA has approved VELSIPITY® (etrasimod arginine tablets) for adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who haven’t responded to or can’t tolerate other treatments. flag The approval, based on the Phase 3 ENLIGHT UC trial—the largest UC study in Asia—and global ELEVATE UC data, shows the once-daily oral drug delivers high rates of remission, mucosal healing, and symptom control with a favorable safety profile. flag It’s the first selective S1P receptor modulator approved in China for this indication, offering a convenient long-term treatment option amid rising UC cases and a younger patient population. flag Experts say it addresses key unmet needs and supports better disease management.
