About this study
Official title: Early therapeUtic RespOnse and Predictivity of Long-term Effectiveness of Upadacitinib in Ulcerative Colitis (EUROPE)
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and bleeding from the lining of the rectum and colon (large intestine).This study will assess how effective upadacitinib is in treating UC.
Upadacitinib (RINVOQ) is an approved drug for treating UC. Approximately 400 adult participants who are prescribed Upadacitinib by their physician in accordance with local label will be enrolled in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Read more
Upadacitinib will be administered in accordance with the terms of the local marketing authorization, and treatment of participants will be determined solely by the investigator. Participants in the study will be followed for up to 2 years.
There will be no additional burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic and only data which are routinely collected during a regular visit will be utilized for this study.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Upadacitinib | Participants will receive upadacitinib as prescribed by their physician according to local label |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of participants achieving symptomatic remission per partial adapted Mayo score among those who achieved clinical response and/or intestinal ultrasound (IUS) response at week 8 of upadacitinib (UPA) induction
Symptomatic remission per partial adapted Mayo score is defined as stool frequency (SF)=0/1 and rectal bleeding score (RBS) =0.
Measured: Week 52
