Publications
REMIT-UC Study
We are excited to share the first publication from the Canadian IBD Research Consortium: REMIT-UC was a multicenter cohort study looking at real-world effectiveness and safety of tofacitinib in ulcerative colitis. Many thanks to all the participating CIRC sites. This is just the first of many CIRC studies to come!
Real-world effectiveness and safety of ustekinumab in bio-naive patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn’s disease: A Canadian multi-center study
Clinical practice guidelines recommend ustekinumab as a first-line biological treatment option for moderately-to-severely active Crohn’s disease (CD). However, there is limited real-world effectiveness and safety data in bio-naïve patients. This study aims to assess ustekinumab effectiveness and safety in bio-naïve CD patients.

Development of an MRI-based prediction model for anti-TNF treatment failure in perianal Crohn’s disease: A multicenter study
Clinical and radiologic variables associated with perianal fistula (PAF) outcomes are poorly understood. We developed prediction models for anti-TNF treatment failure in patients with Crohn’s disease related PAF.
