About this trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness (how well the treatment works) of Guselkumab, by lines of treatment and subpopulations, and what are the outcomes of treatment (clinical outcomes) in adult participants with moderately to severely active Ulcerative Colitis (UC) or Crohn's Disease (CD) under real-world settings. CD and UC are the main type of Inflammatory bowel disease, a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Must be eligible for biologic treatment and initiate guselkumab according to the approved indications as described in the current version of the summary of product characteristics (SmPC) of the drug. Decision to prescribe must solely be made by the treating physician in line with the Trust's/ Health Board's treatment guidance. Enrolment must take place before or at the day of first administration (but after treatment decision by physician)
Must have a confirmed diagnosis of moderate-to-severe Crohn's Disease (CD) or Ulcerative Colitis (UC) recorded in their medical records
Must sign a informed consent form (ICF) allowing source data verification in accordance with local requirements
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
Has a 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
Number of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission for Crohn's Disease (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 remission for CD is defined as the HBI score less than or equal to (\<=) 4.
Number of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission for Ulcerative Colitis (UC) as Measured by Partial Mayo Score (PMS)
Mayo scoring system is used to assess disease severity and treatment effectiveness. Clinical remission for UC is defined as the PMS score \<=2 and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0.
Number of Participants Achieving Clinical Response for CD as Measured by 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 by greater than or equal to (\>=) 3.
Number of Participants Achieving Clinical Response for UC as Measured by PMS
Mayo scoring system is used to assess disease severity and treatment effectiveness. Clinical response for UC is defined as the PMS \<4 or \>=30 percent (%) reduction of baseline PMS.
Secondary outcomes
Number of Participants with Early Responses to Guselkumab Measured Using PRO-2 Components for UC
Participants with early responses to guselkumab using PRO-2 components will be assessed and reported via patient diary card.
Number of Participants with Early Responses to Guselkumab Measured Using PRO-2 Components for CD
Participants with early responses to guselkumab using PRO-2 components will be assessed and reported via patient diary card.
Number of Participants with Early Responses to Guselkumab Measured Using Bowel Urgency
Participants with early responses to guselkumab using bowel urgency will be assessed and reported via patient diary card. Change in bowel urgency for participants will be asked, that is, how severe were the bowel urgency.
Time to Guselkumab Persistence
Persistence with guselkumab will be measured through time to discontinuation (defined as time at which the next infusion should have taken place for a participant after their last scheduled infusion).
