Plain-language summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about how effective Zymfentra (IFX=dyyb) is when treating patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) Does Zymfentra lead to a reduction in symptoms at intervals throughout one year? Participants being prescribed Zymfentra (IFX-dyyb as part of their regular medical care for CD or UC will answer online survey questions about their bowel habits for 1 year.

Inclusion criteria
. Evidence of small intestinal inflammation with endoscopically, radiologically or histologically demonstrated ulcerations, fistulation, mucosal fissuring, nodularity or cobblestoning, stricture formation or histologically demonstrated transmural inflammation with or without granuloma formation.
. Isolated esophageal, gastric or duodenal inflammation with the finding of noncaseating granuloma.
. Colonic inflammation which is patchy (normal segments separating areas of inflammation, as described above) or associated with one or more of the following features: complete rectal sparing, multiple (\>10) aphthoid ulcers, deep ulceration (into the muscularis propria), transmural inflammation, extensive fibrosis and wall thickening, fistulation, non-caseating granuloma. (N.B. See note below regarding patchiness of endoscopically observed inflammation in patients with partially treated ulcerative colitis.)
. The presence of complex suppurative perianal disease (i.e. more than a superficial fistula or uncomplicated superficial abscess).
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Clinical remission as evaluated by the Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI) for the patient-reported outcomes.
. If there are fewer than 10 aphthoid ulcers in the cecum (and the rest of the colon appears normal) in a patient with small bowel disease then this should be called small bowel disease only. Similarly, if the colon is normal except for the presence of a fistula extending from inflamed small bowel, the patient should be said to have small bowel disease alone. If the cecum is involved with ulcers larger than aphthoid ulcers or ulcers that are deep or if the involvement has resulted in deformity of the cecum this would be considered to be colonic involvement.
. Confirmed IBD by A, B and C above.
. Physician unable to classify individual into either CD or UC based on above criteria and/or patient has features of both CD and UC with none of the feature's diagnostic of one or the other.
Exclusion criteria
. Inability to provide informed consent.
. Non-English speaking
. Patients presenting for a one-time consultation.
