A Real-World Study of Guselkumab in Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease in Saudi Arabia

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment persistence of guselkumab (that is how long a person keeps taking their prescribed medicine or continues with their treatment plan without stopping) in participants with moderate to severe crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) in real-world setting. CD and UC are Inflammatory bowel disease, a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

    Number of participants with early responses to guselkumab will be assessed using PRO-2 components for CD. Measurements captured include abdominal pain (AP) and stool frequency (SF).

  2. Number of Participants with Early Responses to Guselkumab Measured Using Participant Reported Outcome (PRO-2) Components for Ulcerative Colitis (UC)

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

    Number of participants with early responses to guselkumab will be assessed using PRO-2 components for UC. Measurements captured include rectal bleeding and stool frequency.

  3. Number of Participants with Early Responses to Guselkumab Measured Using Bowel Urgency

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

    Number of participants with early responses to guselkumab will be assessed using bowel urgency. Bowel urgency from participants will be asked as yes or no outcome.

  4. Number of Participants Achieving Clinical Response for CD as Measured by Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI)

    Time frame: Weeks 12, 48 and 96

    HBI score is used to assess disease severity and treatment effectiveness. The HBI consists of a 5-part questionnaire, assessing general wellbeing, abdominal pain, number of liquid stools per day, abdominal mass and complications. Clinical response for CD is defined as the HBI score less than or equal to (<=) 4 or a decrease in HBI by greater than or equal to (>=) 3 from baseline.

  5. Number of Participants Achieving Clinical Response for UC as Measured by Partial Mayo Score (PMS)

    Mayo scoring system is used to assess disease severity and treatment effectiveness. The PMS comprises 3 categories: rectal bleeding, SF, and physician assessment. These are rated from 0-3 and are totaled to give a total score that ranges from 0-12. Clinical response for UC is defined as the PMS score less than (<) 4 or >= 30 percent (%) reduction from baseline.
