Summary
This trial will help determine the optimal treatment target for UC.
Who is the study for?
Adults with active Ulcerative Colitis (UC) confirmed by clinical, endoscopic, and histological evidence can join this trial. They must be experiencing moderate to severe symptoms and not responding to current treatments. Participants should agree not to join other investigational trials during this study, be up-to-date on colorectal cancer screenings, and willing to undergo TB and hepatitis tests. Contraception is required for sexually active participants.
What is being tested?
The trial aims to find the best treatment target for UC by comparing three groups: one targeting symptom remission without steroids; another adding endoscopic remission; the third includes histological remission as well. Patients are randomly assigned in a 2:3:5 ratio respectively.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects aren't specified but may include reactions related to UC treatments such as biologics or small molecules like abdominal pain, infection risks, infusion-related reactions, headache, nausea or fatigue.
