Cure8 trial brief
Why This Matters
This study will gather real‑world effectiveness and patient‑reported outcome data for guselkumab in adults with moderate‑to‑severe Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, which may help clinicians and patients understand how the drug performs outside randomized trials.
Who Should Pay Attention
Adult patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis considering or currently on biologic therapy; clinicians managing IBD; researchers interested in real-world evidence for IL‑23 inhibition.
Study Snapshot
What To Know
This is a ClinicalTrials.gov record for a recruiting, observational (real-world) study in Germany that will collect routine-care data on adults with moderate-to-severe Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis who start guselkumab.
The study plans enrollment of about 500 participants and will follow patients up to 96 weeks with assessments at several timepoints; primary outcomes are clinical remission at week 48 measured by Harvey‑Bradshaw Index for CD and Partial Mayo Score for UC.
The study is non-interventional (physician-directed guselkumab use per routine care) and will collect both clinical outcomes and patient‑reported outcomes such as fatigue, quality of life, work productivity, sexuality, and treatment satisfaction.
Key eligibility notes: adults (>=18), eligible for biologic treatment, no more than four prior advanced IBD therapy lines, no prior IL‑23 inhibitor exposure (except prior ustekinumab allowed), and no prior colectomy/pouch. This record is a trial registration (trial‑record); it describes planned data collection and outcomes but does not report results.
Keep In Mind
This is an observational, non‑interventional registry study run by Janssen in Germany; it is recruiting and does not report study results. As a registry, data collection follows routine clinical practice and may have variability in timing and completeness.
The record excludes participants with prior exposure to IL‑23 inhibitors (except ustekinumab) and those with colectomy/pouch.
