Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Up to 480 patients (aged 18-80 years at enrollment) (including about 360 UC patients with Tofacitinib and about 120 UC patients with biologics) will be included in the online documentation. A specification to the study centers regarding the group inclusion (patients treated with Tofacitinib (group 1) or a biologics (group 2)) will not be made; this means, each study center can include patients in both groups. The CED Service GmbH assume that approximately 20-30% of Tofacitinib patients will be biologic-naïve UC patients, many of whom will represent early disease patients (< 2 years after first diagnosis).

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with moderate to severe Ulcerative Colitis aged 18-80 years at enrollment
  • Written informed consent is given

Who cannot join

  • Malignant disease in history (except for non-melanoma skin cancer)
  • Any contraindication according to the SmPC of the respective medication

About this study

Official title: Tofacitinib Registry of Patients With Ulcerative Colitis in Germany - Documentation of Tofacitinib Induction and Maintenance Therapy in Conjunction With Long-term Outcome and Predictors of Response

This registry on Tofacitinib and biologics (anti-integrin/anti-TNF) in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients in Germany will extend the prospective documentation of safety issues and efficacy in induction and maintenance therapy of Tofacitinib (Xeljanz®) in addition to other biologics used in Germany with a particular interest in predictors of long-term responses and favorable disease outcome or to predict severe side effects caused by therapy with Januskinase(JAK)- inhibitors/biologics.

Read the detailed description

This is an Investigator-initiated non-randomized, non-interventional observational prospective long- term research (IIR) as part of the normal treatment of UC patients for the safety and efficacy of Tofacitinib / biologic therapies. As of 01st July 2019, UC patients who have been provided Tofacitinib / biologics for UC according the respective label by the treating physician may be prospectively included in an online database by the participating study centers by 31st March 2021.

An interim analysis is planned at the end of patients ́ recruitment with respect of the induction phase (week 16) for October 2021 with a first publication of the data in a peer-reviewed journal (e.g., JCC, GUT, UEG Journal).

Up to 480 patients (including about 360 UC patients with Tofacitinib and about 120 UC patients with biologics) will be included in the online documentation. A specification to the study centers regarding the group inclusion (patients treated with Tofacitinib (group 1) or a biologics (group 2)) will not be made; this means, each study center can include patients in both groups.

The CED Service GmbH assume that approximately 20-30% of Tofacitinib patients will be biologic-naïve UC patients, many of whom will represent early disease patients (< 2 years after first diagnosis).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT04032756
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1UC-patients (age at enrollment: 18-80 years) receiving a newly introduced Tofacitinib therapy (n=360). Previous treatment(s) with biologics or immunosuppressants is (are) permitted. About 20-30% of the Tofacitinib patients will biologic-naiv.
Group 2UC-patients (age at enrollment: 18-80 years) receiving a newly introduced biologics therapy (n=120). Previous treatment(s) with biologics or immunosuppressants is (are) allowed.

What is being measured

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

  1. partial Mayo score ≤ 1 plus a bleeding subscore of 0) in the inductionphase (week 16)

    The primary endpoint is steroid-free remission (remission: partial Mayo score ≤ 1 plus a bleeding subscore of 0) in the inductionphase (week 16). For this endpoint it will be only captured if there is a current use of steroids at the time of the visit. So the patient will be asked for current steroid use at time of visit at week 16 and if he has received steroids within the last 4 weeks prior to time point of the visit.

    Measured: 07/01/2019 - 03/31/2023

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. occurrence of serious side effects (e.g., death, tumor, tuberculosis, severe infections, or side effects leading to hospitalization)

    Online documentation of safety and efficacy in induction and maintenance therapy including the occurrence of serious side effects (e.g., death, tumor, tuberculosis, severe infections, or side effects leading to hospitalization)

    Measured: 07/01/2019 - 03/31/2023

  2. response: partial Mayo Score reduction of ≥ 3 accompanied by a decrease of at least 30% from baseline and remission: partial Mayo score ≤ 1 plus a bleeding subscore of 0 - Efficacy

    Efficacy (response: partial Mayo Score reduction of ≥ 3 accompanied by a decrease of at least 30% from baseline and remission: partial Mayo score ≤ 1 plus a bleeding subscore of 0) of induction therapy (week 8 and 16) and maintenance therapy (months 6 to 24) and efficacy (response and remission) in different subpopulations, e.g. based on a previous biologic therapy or not.

    Measured: 07/01/2019 - 03/31/2023

  3. hospitalization days via question in questionnaire

    Obtaining health economic data in UC patients on Tofacitinib / biologics therapy (hospitalization)

    Measured: 07/01/2019 - 03/31/2023

  4. psychosocial impairments - EQ-5D

    Obtaining data of the course from UC patients with a new therapy (Tofacitinib / biologics) related to treatment strategy and psychosocial impairments

    Measured: 07/01/2019 - 03/31/2023

  5. EQ-5D quality of life

    Obtaining health economic data in UC patients on Tofacitinib / biologics therapy (quality of life)

    Measured: 07/01/2019 - 03/31/2023

  6. early retirement via question in questionnaire

    Obtaining health economic data in UC patients on Tofacitinib / biologics therapy (early retirement)

    Measured: 07/01/2019 - 03/31/2023

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colitis, Ulcerative and Biologics, run by Ced Service GmbH at 1 site in Germany.

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2021. 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 Germany. 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 was stopped early (reason given: not enough patients recruited, Study objective could not be achieved). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

partial Mayo score ≤ 1 plus a bleeding subscore of 0) in the inductionphase (week 16) (time frame: 07/01/2019 - 03/31/2023). 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?
