Clinical trials

This trial is being conducted to learn more about the optimal sequence of various medications in the management of acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC). This research is studying multiple drugs already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The goal of this study is to test the early efficacy and safety of upadacitinib (Rinvoq) and corticosteroids compared to corticosteroids alone as induction therapy for both inpatients and outpatients with ASUC.

The goal of this trial is to create personalized treatments for each patient admitted to the hospital with acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC). The study will test the feasibility and acceptability of these treatment strategies among patients and physicians so that the study team can later do a larger trial to test whether the medication treatment pathways help patients avoid colectomy while ensuring patient's are safe.
