About this trial

The purpose of this real world non-interventional study is to learn about the effects of etrasimod as treatment for patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.

Patients will be treated according to standard of care and will only be included in the study if etrasimod is the best treatment choice according to the treating physician. Additionally, patients have to be between 18 and 65 years of age and should not have taken etrasimod in the past.

All patients will be prescribed etrasimod according to standard of care. Assessments will be conducted according to standard of care with the exception of health questionnaires which will be completed by the patients online on their own device.

The study duration is 52 weeks with 28 days of safety follow-up. Patients will visit their treating physician as they would if they were not enrolled in the study. During the study duration, patients will be asked to complete health questionnaires on a regular basis either on their mobile phone, tablet or computer.

The effects of etrasimod will be analyzed for each patient comparing to their disease activity prior to the start of etrasimod.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male and female patients ≥18 and <65 years of age at baseline

Patients with confirmed diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and who are prescribed etrasimod for moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis as per the product label independently of the decision to enroll a patient in this study.

Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the patient has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study.

Disqualifiers

Presence of clinical findings suggestive of Crohn's disease.

Physician judgement that the patient is likely to require hospitalization for medical or surgical intervention of any kind for UC (eg, colectomy) within 12 weeks.

Current evidence of acute severe UC, fulminant colitis, or toxic megacolon 3. Patients with a stoma or planned UC surgical intervention requiring hospitalization.

any previous exposure to etrasimod including participation in the etrasimod clinical program.

Trial population

Eligible patients can be included in this study if their physician makes a clinical decision to treat them with etrasimod, as defined by the local approved label and independent from the decision to enroll the patient in this study.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Proportion of patients with symptomatic remission

Symptomatic remission was defined as stool frequency sub score (SFS)= 0 (or = 1 with a ≥ 1-point decrease from baseline) and rectal bleeding sub score (RBS) =0.. Stool frequency score and rectal bleeding score are components of the Patient-Reported Outcome-2 score derived based on components of Mayo score (PRO2): instrument designed to measure disease activity of ulcerative colitis. Total score range: stool frequency 0 to 3 and rectal bleeding 0 to 3; higher score=more severe disease.

Time frame
Week 12
2

Proportion of patients with symptomatic remission

Symptomatic remission was defined as stool frequency sub score (SFS)= 0 (or = 1 with a ≥ 1-point decrease from baseline) and rectal bleeding sub score (RBS) =0.. Stool frequency score and rectal bleeding score are components of the Patient-Reported Outcome-2 score derived based on components of Mayo score (PRO2): instrument designed to measure disease activity of ulcerative colitis. Total score range: stool frequency 0 to 3 and rectal bleeding 0 to 3; higher score=more severe disease.

Time frame
Week 52

Secondary outcomes

1

Proportion of patients with clinical response

Clinical response was defined as decrease of at least 20% in Patient-Reported Outcome-2 score derived based on components of Mayo score (PRO2) from baseline or achievement of symptomatic remission.

2

Proportion of patients with clinical response.

Clinical response was defined as decrease of at least 20% in Patient-Reported Outcome-2 score derived based on components of Mayo score (PRO2) from baseline or achievement of symptomatic remission.

3

Proportion of corticosteroid-free patients with symptomatic remission

Symptomatic remission was defined as stool frequency sub score (SFS)= 0 (or = 1 with a ≥ 1-point decrease from baseline) and rectal bleeding sub score (RBS) =0.. Stool frequency score and rectal bleeding score are components of the Patient-Reported Outcome-2 score derived based on components of Mayo score (PRO2): instrument designed to measure disease activity of ulcerative colitis. Total score range: stool frequency 0 to 3 and rectal bleeding 0 to 3; higher score=more severe disease. Patients have to be corticosteroid-free for at least 12 weeks prior to the visit.
