Condition: Ulcerative Colitis
Study Type: Observational
Official Title: Intestinal Ultrasonography in Ulcerative Colitis Patients Treated With Filgotinib
Brief Summary:
Objective disease assessment in inflammatory bowel diseases at the time of treatment initiation and during follow-up has become gold standard. However, biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin, fail to provide information on disease extent, location or complications. Repeated endoscopic assessments are performed to evaluate mucosal response to treatment, though associated costs, availability, invasiveness and patient preference are considerable limitations. Recently, intestinal ultrasound…
