About this trial

The purpose of this study is to characterize participants with Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) treated with Guselkumab in a real-world setting, and to assess the clinical effectiveness (how well the treatment works) in the overall population and in different participant subgroups. Furthermore patient-reported outcomes like fatigue, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), sexuality, work productivity and activity as well as treatment satisfaction will be assessed.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission for Crohn's Disease (CD) as Measured by Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI)

Clinical remission for CD is defined as the HBI score less than or equal to (\<=) 4. HBI score is used to assess disease severity and treatment effectiveness.

Time frame
Week 48
2

Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission for Ulcerative Colitis (UC) as Measured by Partial Mayo Score (PMS)

Clinical remission for UC is defined as the PMS score \<=2 and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0. Mayo scoring system is used to assess disease severity and treatment effectiveness.

Time frame
Week 48

Secondary outcomes

1

Time to Guselkumab Discontinuation

Time to guselkumab discontinuation (treatment persistency) will be reported.

Time frame
Up to Week 96
2

Change in Stool Frequency Within the First 4 Weeks of Guselkumab Administration

Change in stool frequency for participants will be asked, that is, how many bowel movements they had in last 24 hours, how many of those were very soft or liquid, or how many has occurred during the night.

Time frame
Up to Week 4
3

Change in Rectal Bleeding Within First 4 Weeks of Guselkumab Administration

Change in rectal bleeding for participants will be asked, that is, how severe were the rectal bleedings in the last 24 hours.

Time frame
Up to Week 4
4

Change in Abdominal Pain Within the First 4 Weeks of Guselkumab Administration

Change in abdominal pain for participants will be asked, that is, how severe was the abdominal pain in the last 24 hours.
