Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults in Japan with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis who are starting risankizumab for the first time and can use a mobile device to report symptoms are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have previously received risankizumab, cannot use a smartphone for symptom reporting, or whose doctors do not prescribe risankizumab under the local label are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

This is a non-interventional, observational follow-up of about 200 adult participants across roughly 30 sites in Japan who are prescribed risankizumab by their physician according to local label. Treatment decisions are made before and independently of enrollment, and participants will be followed for up to 156 weeks while receiving routine clinical care. Data collection includes regular clinic visits and patient-reported outcomes collected via a smart device, with no additional study-mandated treatments. The study focuses on real-world changes in disease activity and safety when risankizumab is used in everyday clinical practice.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could confirm that risankizumab improves symptoms and disease control for people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis in routine Japanese practice.

How similar studies have gone: Randomized phase 3 trials of risankizumab have demonstrated efficacy in ulcerative colitis, and this observational study aims to add real-world evidence in a Japanese population.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Participants with a diagnosis of moderate to severe Ulcerative Colitis (UC) commenced on Risankizumab (RZB) treatment prescribed as part of their routine clinical care at their clinical's discretion according to Japan approved label and treatment prescription recommendations/guidelines.
* The decision to prescribe RZB is made prior to and independently of study participation.
* Participants able to provide voluntary informed consent before any study-related activities or procedures (obtained/documented as per regulations). If the patient is under 18 years old, a patient's parent or legal guardian must be willing to give written informed consent.
* Participants who can understand and communicate with the investigator and comply with the requirements of the study, including collection of PRO data using a smart device (i.e., mobile phone) and continued PRO data collection after cessation of RZB.
* Participants without previous exposure to RZB.
* Participants who are not currently participating in interventional research (not including non-interventional studies, PMOS, or registry participation).
