About this trial

The purpose of this prospective, multicenter, real-world study is to compare the efficacy differences and influencing factors of different first-line biologics in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. The question that this study aims to answer is: When treating patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, should IFX or VDZ be prioritized as the first-line choice for biologics?, Which biological agent has better therapeutic effect?. Researchers will observe and follow up with patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis treated with different biologics on the front line, evaluate their condition changes, eliminate relevant interfering factors, and draw the final conclusion.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age range of 18-70 years old, gender not limited;

According to international guidelines and consensus, patients with ulcerative colitis should be diagnosed to exclude radiation enteritis, infectious enteritis, tumor related diseases, etc;

Patients assessed as moderate to severe ulcerative colitis based on the Mayo score;

During the follow-up period, no relevant treatments (drugs and surgery) were used that could affect the assessment of the efficacy of biologics

Disqualifiers

Patients with hemodynamic instability;

Patients with obvious liver and kidney function injury: bilirubin, aminotransferase (ALT, AST) exceeded the upper limit of normal by 2 times; eGFR<60ml/min or dialysis patients;

Patients allergic to IFX or VDZ;

Patients whose primary disease was gastrointestinal malignancy;

Trial population

Moderate to severe UC patients treated with biological agents in the Xijing Hospital of Digestive Diseases

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • first-line biologic:IFX

    Drug

    IFX is administered intravenously at a dose of 5-10mg/kg, once at weeks 0, 2, and 6 (or 0, 1, and 5), and then every 8 weeks at a dose of 5mg/kg for maintenance treatment. VDZ is administered intravenously at a dose of 300mg/time, once at weeks 0, 2, and 6, and then every 8 weeks at a dose of 300mg for maintenance treatment.

  • first-line biologic:VDZ

    Drug

    IFX is administered intravenously at a dose of 5-10mg/kg, once at weeks 0, 2, and 6 (or 0, 1, and 5), and then every 8 weeks at a dose of 5mg/kg for maintenance treatment. VDZ is administered intravenously at a dose of 300mg/time, once at weeks 0, 2, and 6, and then every 8 weeks at a dose of 300mg for maintenance treatment.

Treatment groups

400 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: The IFX group1 intervention
Group B: The VDZ group1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Clinical remission rates and endoscopic remission rates at 14 weeks, 30 weeks, 52 weeks, and 2 years after first-line biologics treatment

Evaluate the clinical remission rate and endoscopic remission rate of first-line biologics treatment at 14 weeks, 30 weeks, 52 weeks, and 2 years based on the Mayo scoring system and endoscopic examination results

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years.

Secondary outcomes

1

Clinical response rate, endoscopic response rate, and hormone free response rate at 14 weeks, 30 weeks, 52 weeks, and 2 years after first-line biologics treatment

Evaluate the clinical response rate, endoscopic response rate, and hormone free response rate at 14 weeks, 30 weeks, 52 weeks, and 2 years after first-line biologic therapy based on the Mayo scoring system and endoscopic examination results

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years.
2

Factors affecting the efficacy of two biological agents in the treatment process

After balancing confounding factors through PSM, IPTW, and other methods, the factors affecting the efficacy of biologics were analyzed through survival analysis curves

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years.
