About This Trial

Post-authorization, prospective and unicenter clinical trial, in which patients with UC will be included. The treatment with anti-TNFα (infliximab, adalimumab or golimumab) or JAK-inhibitors (tofacitinib) will be initiated by clinical practice and the choice will be made at the discretion of the investigator at the center where the patients will be recruited (Hospital Universitario de La Princesa). In the case of the group of patients treated with tofacitinib, the selection will be made following the action protocol implemented in our center, in which this drug is usually reserved for those cases refractory to anti-TNFα and/or vedolizumab. There will be no random assignment of treatment. The drugs will be used in the approved indications and conditions of use.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 4 studies happen after a treatment has been approved by the FDA. They monitor long-term safety, real-world effectiveness, and any rare side effects that only emerge in larger populations over longer periods. Phase 4 results sometimes lead to label changes, additional warnings, or — rarely — withdrawal of approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 30 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
