Trial challenges standard care: skip the middle step for better UC control?

NCT ID NCT07235904

Summary

This study is testing if starting treatment with a newer injectable biologic drug (mirikizumab) right away leads to better long-term disease control for people newly diagnosed with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. It compares this 'top-down' approach to the current standard, which starts with an older pill medication (azathioprine). About 300 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups and followed for one year to see which approach works better.
