Upadacitinib in Patients Hospitalized With Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis

연구 개요

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the oral medication upadacitinib can safely and effectively treat acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) in adults who are hospitalized. It will also evaluate whether upadacitinib can be used without corticosteroids during initial treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does upadacitinib reduce treatment failure by Day 14 (defined as need for colectomy or rescue therapy)? 2. What side effects and safety events occur when using upadacitinib in hospitalized patients with ASUC? Researchers will compare outcomes in participants receiving upadacitinib to a historical group of similar patients previously treated with standard therapies, including intravenous corticosteroids and infliximab, to determine if upadacitinib improves outcomes. Participants will: 1. Take oral upadacitinib once daily during hospitalization. 2. Undergo routine clinical monitoring, including blood tests and symptom assessments. 3. Be followed after discharge with clinic visits or phone calls for up to 12 months to assess outcomes such as need for additional treatment, surgery, and safety events
