Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults in Germany with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are starting guselkumab for an approved indication, can give informed consent, are willing to complete patient-reported outcome questionnaires, have not had more than four prior lines of advanced IBD therapy, and have not previously received IL-23 inhibitors (except ustekinumab).
✕Probably not a fit
Patients previously exposed to IL-23 inhibitors (other than ustekinumab), those with a colectomy or pouch, or those with more than four prior lines of advanced IBD therapy are unlikely to be eligible or to gain useful data from this project.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a non-interventional, real-world observational cohort that follows people who start guselkumab for Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis according to approved indications. Clinical outcomes and routine medical data will be collected alongside patient-reported outcomes such as fatigue, health-related quality of life, sexuality, work productivity, and treatment satisfaction. The study will describe baseline characteristics and compare effectiveness across participant subgroups while excluding those with prior IL-23 exposure (except ustekinumab), prior colectomy/pouch, or more than four prior lines of advanced IBD therapy. Data will be captured during regular clinic visits and through standardized questionnaires without changing prescribed care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this project could help clinicians understand who benefits most from guselkumab and guide treatment choices in everyday practice.
How similar studies have gone: Some clinical trials and studies of IL-23–targeting therapies have shown promise in IBD, but real-world effectiveness data for guselkumab remain limited.
