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

Study groups in NCT07532213
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Moderate-to-Severe Ulcerative Colitis (UC) or Crohn's Disease (CD)Participants with confirmed diagnosis of moderate-to-severe UC or CD treated with guselkumab as per standard clinical practice will be enrolled. No drug will be provided as part of this study. Only data available from standard clinical practice and medical records will be collected.

What is being measured
