Group/Cohort |
---|
Open-label cohort
Patients will be followed for 52 weeks post initiation of adalimumab (Week 0).
|
- Change from baseline in depressive symptoms at Week 52 [ Time Frame: From Week 0 to Week 52 or at the time of stopping adalimumab, or at the time of Premature Discontinuation ]It is measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire - 9 Items (PHQ-9).
- Change from baseline in depressive symptoms at Week 8 [ Time Frame: From Week 0 to Week 8, or at the time of stopping adalimumab, or at the time of Premature Discontinuation ]It is measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire - 9 Items (PHQ-9).
- Change from baseline in the proportion of patients with PHQ-9 >= 10 [ Time Frame: From Week 0 to Week 52 or at the time of stopping adalimumab, or at the time of Premature Discontinuation ]The change from baseline in the proportion of patients with PHQ-9 >= 10 is assessed at week 8 and 52.
- Change from baseline in Disability [ Time Frame: From Week 0 to Week 52 or at the time of stopping adalimumab, or at the time of Premature Discontinuation ]It is measured by the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Disability Index at weeks 8 and 52.
- Change from baseline in Overall quality of life [ Time Frame: From Week 0 to Week 52, or at the time of stopping adalimumab, or at the time of Premature Discontinuation ]It is measured by the EuroQol 5-Dimensions, 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) and EQ5D VAS at weeks 8 and 52.
- Change from baseline in Ulcerative Colitis (UC)-specific quality of life [ Time Frame: From Week 0 to Week 52 or at the time of stopping adalimumab, or at the time of Premature Discontinuation ]It is measured by the Short Quality of Life in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ) at weeks 8 and 52.
- Change from baseline in Fatigue [ Time Frame: From Week 0 to Week 52, or at the time of stopping adalimumab, or at the time of Premature Discontinuation ]It is measured by the Functional Assessment Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) at weeks 8 and 52.
- Change from baseline in Sleep impairment, [ Time Frame: From Week 0 to Week 52, or at the time of stopping adalimumab, or at the time of Premature Discontinuation ]It is measured by the Medical Outcomes Study Sleep scale (MOS Sleep) at weeks 8 and 52.
- Change from baseline in Work productivity [ Time Frame: From Week 0 to Week 52, or at the time of stopping adalimumab, or at the time of Premature Discontinuation ]The change from baseline in work productivity is assessed at week 8 and 52.
- Assessing Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI) [ Time Frame: Up to Week 52, or at the time of stopping adalimumab, or at the time of Premature Discontinuation ]SCCAI is used to access response and remission rates.
- Change from baseline in Fecal Calprotectin levels [ Time Frame: From Week 0 to Week 52, or at the time of stopping adalimumab, or at the time of Premature Discontinuation ]The change from baseline in Fecal Calprotectin levels will be assessed.
- Mayo endoscopic sub-score [ Time Frame: Up to Week 52, or at the time of stopping adalimumab, or at the time of Premature Discontinuation ]Mayo endoscopic sub-score will be assessed.
- Proportion of patients with Complications including hospitalization and surgery [ Time Frame: At Week 52, or at the time of stopping adalimumab, or at the time of Premature Discontinuation ]The proportion of patients with complications including hospitalization and surgery will be assessed.
- Proportion of patients on steroids [ Time Frame: At Week 52, or at the time of stopping adalimumab, or at the time of Premature Discontinuation ]The proportion of patients on steroids will be assessed.
- Change from baseline in Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) [ Time Frame: From Week 0 to Week 52 or at the time of stopping adalimumab, or at the time of Premature Discontinuation ]The change from baseline in Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) will be assessed.
