In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The SHIFT-IBD Study is being conducted at multiple medical centers across Canada to evaluate how well guselkumab (Tremfya) works for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who haven't responded well enough to ustekinumab. Patients will begin guselkumab based on their doctor's decision. If eligible, they may be invited to participate in the study, which involves monitoring symptoms, test results, and overall health over the course of one year. Guselkumab will be given according to local medical guidelines. Doctors can adjust the treatment as needed, just like in routine care. Researchers believe that switching to guselkumab may be as effective as other advanced treatments. For those who saw some improvement on ustekinumab but not enough, guselkumab may offer better symptom control-without worsening results on medical tests like endoscopy. The goal is to explore better treatment

Exclusion Criteria: * History of prior exposure to any anti-p19 inhibitor (risankizumab or mirikizumab). * Subjects with formal contraindication to guselkumab per the drug label. * Use of guselkumab for an off-label indication, dosing regimen, or route of administration. Subjects who did not receive guselkumab induction will be excluded. * Subjects with an ostomy or ileo-anal pouch. * Subjects with a history of bowel surgery within 6 months prior to Week 0. * Subjects displaying clinical signs of acute severe UC, fulminant colitis or toxic megacolon within 3 months prior to Week 0. * Subjects who are expected to require bowel surgery by their IBD physician within the year of enrollment. * Subjects on 1 or more concomitant biologics. * Subjects with a history of colonic dysplasia (low-grade dysplasia, high-grade dysplasia, or colorectal cancer).
