Biologic showdown: which IBD drug works best after a year?

NCT ID NCT07495644

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will follow 95 adults with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis in Upper Egypt who are taking one of five biologic drugs: adalimumab, infliximab, ustekinumab, golimumab, or vedolizumab. After one year, researchers will measure how many patients avoid hospitalization, surgery, and steroids, and achieve endoscopic remission. The goal is to compare the effectiveness of these treatments in a real-world setting.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

adalimumab, infliximab, ustekinumab, golimumab, and vedolizumab (biologic drugs)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show which biologic works best for controlling IBD over a year, helping doctors choose more effective treatments.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study (95 people) in one region, so results may not apply broadly. Biologics also carry risks like serious infections.
