| الوصف: | Background Symptoms, endoscopy, histology, and biomarkers are used to evaluate disease activity and response to therapy in ulcerative colitis (UC). Histologic disease activity may persist in ~25% of patients with normal-appearing endoscopic mucosa, and observational studies demonstrate an association between the achievement of histologic remission (vs endoscopic remission alone) and a lower risk of complications. These findings suggest that histologic remission may be a distinct treatment target. The aim of the VERDICT trial is to determine the optimal treatment target in UC to inform clinical practice and future drug development. Methods The primary objective of the multicentre, randomised, controlled VERDICT trial (Figure 1) is to determine whether a treatment target of corticosteroid (CS)-free symptomatic + endoscopic + histologic remission is superior to CS-free symptomatic remission alone in moderately to severely active UC (Mayo rectal bleeding subscore [RBS] ≥1; Mayo endoscopic score [MES] ≥2). Patients are randomised to 3 treatment targets (2:3:5 ratio): CS-free symptomatic remission (Mayo RBS = 0) (Group 1); CS-free endoscopic remission (MES ≤1) + symptomatic remission (Group 2); or CS-free histologic remission (Geboes score Results The primary efficacy outcome is the time from treatment target achievement to a UC-related complication, defined as a UC-related hospitalisation, colectomy, need for rescue therapy, or treatment-related or other complication. This composite outcome will be compared among treatment target Groups 1 and 3 using the Cox proportional hazard model analysis. The trial was initiated in September 2020, and 660 patients are planned for enrolment. Of these, ~50% are currently enrolled at 55 sites across 10 North American and European countries. Prespecified interim analyses will be conducted when the first 50 patients in each group reach weeks 16, 32, and 48. Conclusion The VERDICT trial in active UC is designed to determine the optimal treatment target to inform clinical practice, drug trials, and future evidence-based recommendations. |
