  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Participants with a confirmed Crohn's disease (CD) aged over 18 years treated with ustekinumab.

  • Participants with active CD who have had an inadequate response with, lost response to, or were intolerant to either conventional therapy or a biologic therapy or have medical contraindications to such therapies
  • The participant must sign informed consent before enrollment in the study. The consent form permits extraction of data from SWIBREG at baseline and during participation of the study and linkages to the Patient Registry (Patientregistret), SCB's registry USA for occupational details (Longitudinell integrationsdatabas for sjukforsakrings- och arbetsmarknadsstudi er), the Social Insurance registry on long-term sick leave (Forsakringskassans register gallande sjukskrivningar) and the Prescription registry (Lakemedelsregistret)

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Participants with Crohn's Disease (CD)Participants with CD will be assessed for the effectiveness of ustekinumab in accordance with national guidelines and routine standard of care. Data will be prospectively collected with the aid of the Swedish inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) registry, SWIBREG and medical records of each participant. Data will also be collected retrospectively from SWIBREG and other databases including national databases such as the participant registry in which cases the national databases will be considered source data.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants with Clinical Response at Week 16, Based on Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI)

    Clinical response for Crohn's disease (CD) is assessed by Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI) and is defined as decrease of 3 points in baseline HBI score. HBI consists of clinical parameters: general well-being (0-4, where higher score means lower well-being), abdominal pain (0-3, higher score means more severe pain), number of liquid stools per day, abdominal mass (0-3, where higher score means presence of swelling in the abdomen), and complications (score 1 per item). Total score is the sum of individual parameters. The score ranges from a minimum score of 0 to no pre-specified maximum score as it depends on the number of liquid stools per day and number of complications, where higher scores indicates more severe disease and, score is presented as: less than (<)5 (remission), 5-7 (mild disease), 8-16 (moderate disease), and greater than (>)16 (severe disease).

    Measured: Week 16

  2. Percentage of Participants with Clinical Remission at Week 16, Based on HBI

Total score is the sum of individual parameters. The score ranges from a minimum score of 0 to no pre-specified maximum score as it depends on the number of liquid stools per day and number of complications, where higher scores indicates more severe disease and, score is presented as: less than (<)5 (remission), 5-7 (mild disease), 8-16 (moderate disease), and greater than (>)16 (severe disease).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Crohn Disease, run by Janssen-Cilag Ltd. at 1 site in Sweden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants with Clinical Response at Week 16, Based on Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI) (time frame: Week 16). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Feb 2025.
