Enabling a world free of steroid dependency.
About us
Our mission is to measure and monitor steroid-toxicity, optimize treatment of inflammatory diseases, and improve the standard of care for millions of patients around the world. We developed the Steritas GTI (Glucocorticoid Toxicity Index) to enable clinicians to track the direct impact of steroid-toxicity. Today, the GTI provides a precise measure of the efficacy and safety of new therapies that treat inflammatory diseases and minimize the side-effects associated with glucocorticoid use. We aim to provide clinicians and patients the ability to track steroid-toxicity so they can taper steroid usage, and optimize treatment for the best possible outcomes.

Since our last newsletter, our research team has uncovered a fascinating series of studies into steroid use in #IBD patients, as well as a landmark paper investigating the staggering prevalence of steroid-induced #myopathy in autoimmune blistering disease (AIBD) patients. These exciting research discussions will continue in September with our next webinar, which will highlight the use of the #GTIMD in health economics outcomes research (#HEOR) studies. Learn about these studies and sign up for our webinar with this month's newsletter below! Thank you to Noreen Henig, Dedee Murrell and the European Federation of Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis Associations for your insights and contributions. #ECCO #SteroidToxicity #SteritasGTI #SteroidToxicityAwareness #PatientCare #Healthcare #PatientAdvocacy
