November 2, 2026 updated by: Janssen Research & Development, LLC

GO-ON: Guselkumab lOngterm Persistency in Adult Patients With inflammatOry Bowel Disease: a Real World, National Non-iNterventional Study

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment persistence of guselkumab (that is how long a person keeps taking their prescribed medicine or continues with their treatment plan without stopping) in participants with moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) in real-world setting. CD and UC are inflammatory bowel diseases, a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine.
