What's involved

Main thing being measured

In the researchers’ words

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.

* 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.
* Subjects with an inadequate response to ustekinumab who require a change in advanced therapy and are initiating guselkumab, as determined by the treating physician.
