Treat-to-target outcomes in adults with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in routine care

Treat-to-Target and Disease Modification in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Worldwide Routine Practice Study

Observational AbbVie · NCT07421258

This project sees if using a treat-to-target approach in adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis over 24 months is linked to better disease outcomes in real-world care.

What this trial studies

This is a multi-country, observational retrospective chart review with a cross-sectional component that examines adult patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who have at least 24 months of medical records. Participants were managed according to routine clinical care and not assigned any experimental treatments. The analysis will describe how treat-to-target (T2T) strategies are implemented in real-world practice and examine associations between T2T use and clinical outcomes overall and separately for CD and UC. Primary and secondary objectives focus on a 24-month observation period using existing medical records.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults aged 18 or older with a diagnosis of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis for at least 24 months who can provide informed consent and have at least 24 months of available medical records are ideal candidates.

Not a fit: Patients under legal protection, those with a history of proctocolectomy, those who received investigational treatments within the past 24 months, pediatric patients, or anyone without sufficient medical records are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit from this analysis.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help clinicians adopt T2T approaches more effectively to improve long-term outcomes and personalize care for patients with IBD.

How similar studies have performed: Randomized and cohort studies (for example trials of tight-control management) have shown benefits of treat-to-target approaches, but real-world implementation and outcomes have varied and remain incompletely described.
