Clinical Trial Summary

The main purpose of this study is to assess ustekinumab's ability to induce clinical response and remission ("effectiveness") at Week 16 and remission at Week 52 and Week 104 in participants with Crohn's disease (CD). Response and remission will be assessed using clinical parameters. Retention rate at week 52 and 104 will also be studied.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participant has a diagnosis of CD confirmed by investigator

• Participants with active CD who have had an inadequate response with, lost response to, or were intolerant to either conventional therapy or a biologic therapy or have medical contraindications to such therapies

• The participant must sign informed consent before enrollment in the study. The consent form permits extraction of data from SWIBREG at baseline and during participation of the study and linkages to the Patient Registry (Patientregistret), SCB's registry USA for occupational details (Longitudinell integrationsdatabas for sjukforsakrings- och arbetsmarknadsstudi er), the Social Insurance registry on long-term sick leave (Forsakringskassans register gallande sjukskrivningar) and the Prescription registry (Lakemedelsregistret)

Exclusion Criteria:

• The participant is enrolled in a clinical trial (randomized or non-randomized) in which the treatment of CD is dictated by a study protocol. If the participant is participating in another observational study (non-interventional), the participant may be included in this observational study

• Received an investigational drug (including investigational vaccines) or used an invasive investigational medical device within 60 days before the start of the study or the first data collection time point

• Participants who started ustekinumab despite contraindications for use

• Participants with planned stop of treatment with ustekinumab within 24 months from onset of treatment, that is bridging to other treatment or pregnancy planned

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of Participants with Clinical Response at Week 16, Based on Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI)	Clinical response for Crohn's disease (CD) is assessed by Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI) and is defined as decrease of 3 points in baseline HBI score. HBI consists of clinical parameters: general well-being (0-4, where higher score means lower well-being), abdominal pain (0-3, higher score means more severe pain), number of liquid stools per day, abdominal mass (0-3, where higher score means presence of swelling in the abdomen), and complications (score 1 per item). Total score is the sum of individual parameters. The score ranges from a minimum score of 0 to no pre-specified maximum score as it depends on the number of liquid stools per day and number of complications, where higher scores indicates more severe disease and, score is presented as: less than (<)5 (remission), 5-7 (mild disease), 8-16 (moderate disease), and greater than (>)16 (severe disease).
