Switching from Stelara to a biosimilar for Crohn's disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study checks if it's acceptable for people with Crohn's disease to switch from the biologic medicine Stelara to a similar, lower-cost version called Uzpruvo. If you have been stable on Stelara for at least 6 months without needing steroids, you may be able to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are in deep remission can safely reduce their dose of ustekinumab (Stelara) without the disease coming back. It aims to reduce medication burden while keeping patients well.
This trial tests whether switching from the drug ustekinumab to another drug called guselkumab can help people with active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who didn't get enough benefit from ustekinumab. It focuses on people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who still have signs of inflammation in their gut.
This study follows people with Crohn's disease or plaque psoriasis who are switching from the reference Ustekinumab to a biosimilar (Steqeyma®). It aims to see how well the biosimilar works in real-world settings.
This trial tests whether switching to vedolizumab works better than increasing your adalimumab dose if your Crohn's symptoms or inflammation are coming back despite treatment. It aims to find the best next step for people whose condition is no longer well-controlled.
This trial is comparing two biologic medicines, ustekinumab (Stelara) and infliximab (Remicade), to see which one works better for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. It is for people who have never taken a biologic before.
This study looks at how well Ustekinumab (Stelara) works for Crohn's disease in people who started the medication in 2024. Researchers want to understand its real-world benefits and safety.
