About this trial
This is an observational study of a prospective cohort of guselkumab-initiating Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) patients to identify new or incident spondyloarthritis. This study will include adult patients aged 18-75 with IBD who are undergoing guselkumab intravenous or subcutaneous induction over a 1-year timeframe.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Confirmed diagnosis of Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis disease based on confirmatory colonoscopy with biopsies, or if small bowel only, MRE with corresponding history
Age between 18 to 75 years old
Inflammatory bowel disease unclassified (IBD-U) subjects are eligible for inclusion if based on investigator assessment, the subject meets criteria for IBD-U, defined as chronic inflammatory bowel disease with overlapping features of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis
Initiating Guselkumab therapy in the next 30 days

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) Score
BASDAI is a self-reported tool consisting of 6 questions evaluating fatigue, spinal pain, joint pain/swelling, areas of localized tenderness, and morning stiffness (duration and severity). Responses are on a 0-10 numeric rating scale; the final score is the average of responses and ranges from 0-10; higher scores indicate greater overall disease activity.
Secondary outcomes
Change in Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score - C-Reactive Protein (ASDAS-CRP)
ASDAS-CRP is a composite score that includes four patient's self-reported pain and stiffness questions, combined with C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, a marker of inflammation in the blood. The score helps assess how active the disease is and how well a treatment is working. The composite score categorizes patients as follows: * \<1.3: Inactive disease * ≥1.3 and \<2.1: Moderate disease activity * ≥2.1 and \<3.5: High disease activity * \>3.5: Very high disease activity
