Guselkumab treatment for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in Germany

Official title: Generation of Real-world Evidence of Guselkumab in IBD Evaluating Effectiveness, Early Outcomes and Patient Relevant Aspects

Run by Janssen-Cilag G.m.b.H · NCT07102368 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will try to see how well guselkumab works and how it affects symptoms, quality of life, and daily activities for adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis receiving routine care in Germany.

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.
