Fecal Noninvasive Biomarkers Oriented Control Versus Usual Care Strategy in Ulcerative Colitis
For patients and families
In plain language
An automatic summary of structured registry data. It is an orientation aid, not a substitute for the official protocol or a physician assessment.
- What is being studied
- The protocol lists: Preemptive therapy escalation based on preset thresholds (FC >250 μg/g or FIT >100 ng/mL) using the FOCUS-UC Ladder:, Therapy adjustment only upon clinical relapse (pMS increase ≥2 + rectal bleeding score ≥1)..
- Who it may be relevant to
- Registry conditions: Noninvasive Biomarkers, Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Basic parameters: 18 years — 75 years · All.
- What needs checking
- Age, condition and sex are only basic indicators. Prior treatment, laboratory values and other mandatory requirements appear in the eligibility criteria below.
- Where it takes place
- Center list to be confirmed — check the primary protocol.

Official title
Fecal Noninvasive Biomarkers Oriented Control Versus Usual Care Strategy in Ulcerative Colitis: A Multicenter, Open-Label, Randomized, Parallel Controlled Clinical Trial
Overview
Design: Multicenter, Open-Label, Randomized, Parallel Controlled Allocation: 1:1 Randomization Masking: Open-label (outcome assessors blinded for endoscopy) Primary Purpose: Treatment Strategy Evaluation Phase: Phase IV (Post-Marketing Surveillance)
Interventions
- Procedure Preemptive therapy escalation based on preset thresholds (FC >250 μg/g or FIT >100 ng/mL) using the FOCUS-UC Ladder:
Preemptive therapy escalation based on preset thresholds (FC \>250 μg/g or FIT \>100 ng/mL) using the FOCUS-UC Ladder: Level 0: Current maintenance therapy. Level 1: Optimize current therapy (e.g., dose increase, TDM-guided adjustment). Level 2: Add combination therapy (e.g., biologics + immunomodulators). Level 3: Switch to advanced therapy (different mechanism). Level 4: Study withdrawal (treatment failure). - Procedure Therapy adjustment only upon clinical relapse (pMS increase ≥2 + rectal bleeding score ≥1).
Therapy adjustment only upon clinical relapse (pMS increase ≥2 + rectal bleeding score ≥1).
Primary outcome measures
- Time to Treatment Failure (Composite) [Time frame: week 52]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Endoscopic remission rate (MES ≤1). [Time frame: week 52]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Confirmed UC diagnosis ≥6 months.
- Clinical remission: Partial Mayo Score (pMS) ≤2, with stool frequency and rectal bleeding subscores ≤1.
- Endoscopic remission (MES ≤1) confirmed by colonoscopy within 12 weeks pre-screening.
- Stable maintenance therapy (5-ASA, immunomodulators, biologics, or JAK inhibitors) ≥8 weeks.
- Written informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
- Indeterminate colitis or Crohn's disease.
- History of toxic megacolon, symptomatic colonic stricture, or dysplasia. Prior colectomy.
- Systemic/local corticosteroid use within 8 weeks.
- Active gastrointestinal infection or chronic diarrhea from non-UC causes.
- Pregnancy, lactation, or concurrent interventional trial participation.
