About this trial

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment persistence of guselkumab (that is how long a person keeps taking their prescribed medicine or continues with their treatment plan without stopping) in participants with moderate to severe crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) in real-world setting. CD and UC are Inflammatory bowel disease, a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

The participant must be eligible for biologic treatment and initiate guselkumab according to the approved indications described in the current version of the summary of product characteristics (SmPC) approved in Saudi Arabia. The decision to prescribe must solely be made by the treating physician. Enrollment must take place before or at the day of first administration of guselkumab (but after treatment decision by physician) and after obtaining patient consent

The participant must have a confirmed diagnosis of moderate-to-severe CD or UC recorded in their medical records

The participant must sign a participation agreement/informed consent form (ICF) allowing source data verification

Disqualifiers

Contraindicated to guselkumab per the label

Is currently enrolled in an interventional clinical study

Has been previously exposed to Interleukin (IL)-23 inhibitors, including tremfya (guselkumab), skyrizi (risankizumab) and omvoh (mirikizumab). As an exception, participants with history of ustekinumab exposure may be included

History of more than 4 lines of advanced inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) therapy (biologics and/or small molecules)

Trial population

The study population will include participants with confirmed diagnosis of moderate-to-severe crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) disease.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Time to Guselkumab Discontinuation

Time to guselkumab discontinuation is defined as time at which the next infusion should have taken place for a participant after their last scheduled infusion.

Time frame
Up to Week 96

Secondary outcomes

1

Number of Participants with Early Responses to Guselkumab Measured Using Participant Reported Outcome (PRO-2) Components for Crohn's Disease (CD)

Number of participants with early responses to guselkumab will be assessed using PRO-2 components for CD. Measurements captured include abdominal pain (AP) and stool frequency (SF).

Time frame
Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12
2

Number of Participants with Early Responses to Guselkumab Measured Using Participant Reported Outcome (PRO-2) Components for Ulcerative Colitis (UC)

Number of participants with early responses to guselkumab will be assessed using PRO-2 components for UC. Measurements captured include rectal bleeding and stool frequency.

Time frame
Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12
3

Number of Participants with Early Responses to Guselkumab Measured Using Bowel Urgency

Number of participants with early responses to guselkumab will be assessed using bowel urgency. Bowel urgency from participants will be asked as yes or no outcome.

Time frame
Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12
4

Number of Participants Achieving Clinical Response for CD as Measured by Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI)

HBI score is used to assess disease severity and treatment effectiveness. The HBI consists of a 5-part questionnaire, assessing general wellbeing, abdominal pain, number of liquid stools per day, abdominal mass and complications. Clinical response for CD is defined as the HBI score less than or equal to (\<=) 4 or a decrease in HBI by greater than or equal to (\>=) 3 from baseline.

Time frame
Weeks 12, 48 and 96
