Treat-to-Target of Endoscopic Remission in Patients With IBD in Symptomatic Remission
About This Trial
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of a strategy of switching to an alternative targeted immunomodulator (TIM) therapy to treat to a target of endoscopic remission, versus continuing index TIM in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis \[UC\]) in symptomatic remission with moderate to severe endoscopic inflammation despite optimization of index TIM in a real-world setting.

Treatments Being Tested
Pragmatic
Patients randomized to a strategy of switching TIM will be switched to one of the preferred agents recommended by clinical guidelines and covered by the patients' insurance formulary as part of routine care, and at the discretion of the site investigator and treating provider. No study-related medications will be provided. Patients (and their providers) in either treatment arm will be allowed to stop or start new TIMs and other IBD-directed therapies in case of symptomatic relapse or intolerance to therapies, at the discretion of the treating provider-patient team.
