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 options for people whose IBD has not been well controlled with current therapies.
Subjects of any gender aged ≥ 18.
Confirmed diagnosis of IBD (CD, UC, or IBDU) for at least 6 months prior to baseline visit. Subjects with IBDU will be grouped with subjects with UC. The CD proportion of patients will be capped at 75%.
Subjects have received ustekinumab for at least 14 weeks and who are currently on or recently discontinued ustekinumab therapy.
For subjects that have recently discontinued ustekinumab, the last dose of ustekinumab must have been within 12 weeks before Week 0, and no other advanced therapy (i.e., infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab, certolizumab pegol, vedolizumab, natalizumab, risankizumab, mirikizumab, tofacitinib, upadacitinib, ozanimod, etrasimod) was started since stopping ustekinumab.
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.
