Trial summary

New types of biologics have brought advantages in therapy strategies for Crohn's disease. However, clinical data evaluating their efficacy and adverse in China is lacking. We aimed to evaluate the short-term and long-term therapeutic effect as well as drug adverse of Ustekinumab (UST) and Vedolizumab (VED). Read more about this study

About this study

New types of biologics have brought advantages in therapy strategies for Crohn's disease. However, clinical data evaluating their efficacy and adverse in China is lacking. We aimed to evaluate the short-term and long-term therapeutic effect as well as drug adverse of Ustekinumab (UST) and Vedolizumab (VED). Besides, we aim to figure out the independent factors predicting the effectiveness of new biologics. Relations between drug exposure (trough concentration and antibody concentration) and therapeutic efficacy are study in-depth by this retrospective observational study.

What is being measured

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

  1. endoscopic remission

    Endoscopic remission referred to those with simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD)≤2

    Measured: short-time efficacy (16-20 weeks or 24 weeks) and long-term efficacy (52~54weeks)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. clinical remission

    Clinical remission was defined as Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI) below 150

    Measured: short-time efficacy (16-20 weeks or 24 weeks) and long-term efficacy (52~54weeks)

  2. clinical response

    endoscopic response referred to those with a reduction of SES-CD > 50% baseline

    Measured: short-time efficacy (16-20 weeks or 24 weeks) and long-term efficacy (52~54weeks)

  3. endoscopic response

    endoscopic response referred to those with a reduction of SES-CD > 50% baseline

    Measured: short-time efficacy (16-20 weeks or 24 weeks) and long-term efficacy (52~54weeks)

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 27 Apr 2026. 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 China. 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?

endoscopic remission (time frame: short-time efficacy (16-20 weeks or 24 weeks) and long-term efficacy (52~54weeks)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04923100, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 27 Apr 2026.
