INSURE: A Cohort Study Comparing IFX to CS for Moderate to Severe UC
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- clinical remission [week 14]
defined as a total score of ≤2 on the Mayo scale and no subscore >1 on any of the four components
Secondary Outcome Measures
- clinical response in induction phase [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
- mucosal healing in induction phase [week 14]
defined as a subscore of 0 or 1 on the Mayo endoscopic component
- histological healing in induction phase [week 14]
defined as Nancy index score of 0
- clinical response in maintenance phase [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
- mucosal healing in maintenance phase [week 52]
defined as a subscore of 0 or 1 on the Mayo endoscopic component
- histological healing in maintenance phase [week 52]
defined as Nancy index score of 0
- quality of life in induction phase [week 14]
defined as an increase of ≥16 points in IBDQ score
- quality of life in maintenance phase [week 52]
defined as an increase of ≥16 points in IBDQ score
- adverse events [week 52]
as assessed by the incidence of adverse events
