Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Primary objective
The primary objective of this study is to assess the association between HRV derived from a wearable device and PRO2 (total of stool frequency score and rectal bleeding score) in UC patients.
Secondary objective
The secondary objective is to assess the association between physiological measures (including vital signs, physical activities, and sleep) derived from a wearable device and various PROs (PRO2, nocturnal diarrhea, bowel urgency, tenesmus, abdominal pain, sleep, fatigue depression, anxiety, and stress) in UC patients.

Basic objectives -Others

The group of Mt Sinai demonstrated that longitudinal HRV measurements (LF, HF, LF/HF and RMSSD), obtained with a wearable device over a 9-month period were associated with Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-4) (LFHF, P = 0.04; RMSSD, P = 0.04). The HRV was associated with UC symptoms, SCCAI (LF/HF, P = 0.03), CRP (HF, P < 0.001; LF, P < 0.001; RMSSD, P < 0.001), and fecal calprotectin (HF, P < 0.001; LF, P < 0.001; RMSSD, P < 0.001; LF/HF, P < 0.001). Changes in HRV indices from baseline developed prior to the identification of a symptomatic or inflammatory flare (HF, P < 0.001; LF, P < 0.001; RMSSD, P < 0.001; LF/HF, P < 0.001) in UC patients.[1] This study focuses on PROs in UC patients after treatment intensification, and hypothesize that these PROs correlate with physiological data. This is an exploratory pilot study to assess the correlation between symptoms and physiological data during treatment intensification of patients with UC in clinical practice.

Key inclusion criteria

1.Age 16 years or older at the time of obtaining informed consent.
2.Ability to provide informed consent and for non-adults under 18 years of age, the consent of their legally acceptable representative must be obtained.
3.Subjects who have a PRO2 score (total of stool frequency score and rectal bleeding score) of 3 or greater at the time of obtaining informed consent.
4.Subjects who will be initiating treatment intensification to treat UC. The treatment intensification is defined as initiating treatment (or increasing dose) with advanced therapies (infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab, ustekinumab, vedolizumab, upadacitinib, filgotinib, carotegrast methyl, or tacrolimus), oral corticosteroids or immunosuppressants (azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine) for UC patients with exacerbation.
5.Subjects who are able and willing to answer to the PROs,
6.Subjects who are able and willing to wear AdtiGraph LEAP device as direction by the Investigator.
7.Subjects who have a personal smartphone which can download the required Apps if subjects use their own device. (Allow the use of rental device prepared by sponsor if for some reason a personal smartphone is not available or unpreferable)

Key exclusion criteria

1.Current pregnancy
2.Current malignancy, or active treatment for previously diagnosed malignancy.
3.Subjects with serious comorbidity including immunodeficiency, myocardial infarction, stroke, renal or hepatic failure, infection such as abscess, opportunistic infection, or sepsis.
4.Subjects currently enrolled or plan to be enrolled (during this study period) in another Janssen-sponsored investigational study or an observational study.
5.Subjects with pacemaker or defibrillators.
6.The use of medications known to affect autonomic nervous system function or the cardiovascular system including beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and benzodiazepines.
7.The regular use of antidiarrheal agents.
8.A history of bowel surgery.
9.Subjects who need to begin treatment intensification on the same day of the decision of treatment intensification. (Subjects who are unable to obtain baseline physiological data/The baseline period is acceptable for 5 or 6 days depending on the subject's visit availability, 1-4 days is insufficient as a baseline period and should be discontinued)

This is an observational study with no control arm of prospectively followed patients with UC, who will be initiating treatment intensification. The treatment intensification is defined as initiating treatment (includes increased dose) with advanced therapies (infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab, ustekinumab, vedolizumab, upadacitinib, filgotinib, carotegrast methyl, or tacrolimus), oral corticosteroids or immunosuppressants (azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine) for UC patients with exacerbation. A total of maximum 15 subjects will be planned for recruitment at a single center. Enrollment period will not be extended even if the number of subjects for analysis is achieved less than the target (15 subjects).
Subjects will be obtained informed consent, verified eligibility, and enrolled once they are planned to participate in the study. After verifying eligibility, subjects will install ActiGraph CentrePoint Connect App for periodical wearable data transmission and begin using ActiGraph LEAP device from the day of enrollment. Subjects will be asked to start wearing ActiGraph LEAP and start collecting physiological data from the date of enrollment. But physiological data collected more than 7 days prior to treatment intensification will not be used for analysis.
Subjects will also install the ePRO App, and complete baseline daily (for Day -1) and weekly (for Day -7 to -1) surveys, looking back the PROs of previous day and week, as well as demographics survey (age at the time of enrollment and sex) on the day of treatment intensification (Day 1). Thereafter, from Day 2 to the end of observational period, ePRO surveys will be continuously completed daily or weekly according to the study procedure.
