A Cohort Study Comparing IFX to CS for Moderate to Severe UC (INSURE)

November 22, 2022 updated by: Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University

A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study Comparing Infliximab to Corticosteroids for Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis

The first-line treatment strategy of moderate to severe UC was a important question at issue. The biological agents had potentiality to alter the disease course of UC. The AGA clinical guidelines had conditional recommend that IFX and other biological agene migtht be first-line therapy for high-risk UC patints but only had low grade evidence.We launched this multicenter prospective cohort trial to compare the efficacy and safety of infliximab (IFX) and corticosteroids(CS) when they was used as first-line therapy in UC patients.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 70 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Adults patinets of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who will initiate IFX or CS

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, defined as a total score of 6 to 12 on the Mayo scale (scores range from 0 to 12, with higher scores indicating more severe disease) and a subscore of at least 2 on the endoscopic component of the Mayo scale (subscores on each of the four components of the Mayo scale range from 0 to 3)
  • Patients who had colonic involvement of at least 15 cm
  • Patients who had a confirmed diagnosis of ulcerative colitis at least 3 months before screening and confirmed by Pathology

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who had previously used any TNF inhibitor
  • Patients who were steroid-dependent or steriod-resistant
  • Patients who had undergone subtotal colectomy or total colectomy
  • Patients who had stoma

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
clinical remission
Time Frame: week 14
defined as a total score of ≤2 on the Mayo scale and no subscore >1; partial Mayo score ≤ 2, no individual subscore > 1
week 14

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
clinical response in induction phase
Time Frame: week 14
defined as a reduction in the partial Mayo score [stool frequency, rectal bleeding, and physician's global assessment] of ≥2 points and of ≥25% from baseline, with an accompanying decrease in rectal bleeding subscore of ≥1 point or absolute rectal bleeding subscore of ≤1 point
week 14
mucosal healing in induction phase
Time Frame: week 14
defined as a subscore of 0 or 1 on the Mayo endoscopic component
week 14
histological healing in induction phase
Time Frame: week 14
defined as Nancy index score of 0
week 14
clinical response in maintenance phase
Time Frame: week 52
defined as a reduction in the partial Mayo score [stool frequency, rectal bleeding, and physician's global assessment] of ≥2 points and of ≥25% from baseline, with an accompanying decrease in rectal bleeding subscore of ≥1 point or absolute rectal bleeding subscore of ≤1 point
week 52
mucosal healing in maintenance phase
Time Frame: week 52
defined as a subscore of 0 or 1 on the Mayo endoscopic component
week 52
histological healing in maintenance phase
Time Frame: week 52
defined as Nancy index score of 0
week 52
quality of life in induction phase
Time Frame: week 14

week 14
quality of life in maintenance phase
Time Frame: week 52

Primary Completion (ANTICIPATED)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
