Identification of Predictive Biomarkers for Response to Biologic Therapies and Tofacitinib in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Summary

Prospective, multicentre trial which the biologic treatment will be initiated by clinical indication. The treatment selection anti-TNFα (infliximab, adalimumab or golimumab), vedolizumab, ustekinumab and tofacitinib will be made at the discretion of the clinician. There will be no random assignment of treatment. The drugs will be used in the approved indications and conditions of use.
