Cure8 trial brief
Why This Matters
Patients and clinicians often want to know how quickly symptoms improve after starting a biologic. This study is designed to compare early patient‑reported symptom changes after starting vedolizumab versus IL‑23 antagonists, which could inform expectations about onset of benefit.
Who Should Pay Attention
Adult Crohn's disease patients starting vedolizumab or IL‑23 antagonists; gastroenterologists; IBD researchers interested in patient‑reported outcomes and biologic onset of action.
Study Snapshot
What To Know
This ClinicalTrials.gov record describes an observational study (VOICE) enrolling adults with active Crohn’s disease who are starting vedolizumab or an IL‑23 antagonist (ustekinumab, risankizumab, guselkumab, or mirikizumab) as part of routine care.
The study’s main goal is to track how quickly patient‑reported symptoms—primarily pain interference measured by PROMIS—improve during the first 14 weeks after starting therapy.
The study will collect multiple PROMIS domains (pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, sleep, physical function, social participation) and other patient‑reported outcomes, and compares the time course of response for vedolizumab versus IL‑23 antagonists.
Treatment dosing and clinical care are determined by the treating clinician; the study is observational (planned enrollment ~300).
Keep In Mind
Observational (non-randomized) design; treatments are given per routine care and dosing is not mandated by the study. The record describes planned outcomes and methods but does not contain study results.
