Ulcerative Colitis Acute Clinical Trial in Ann Arbor, MI

About This Ulcerative Colitis Acute Study in Ann Arbor

The goal of this trial is to create personalized treatments for each patient admitted to the hospital with acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC). The study will test the feasibility and acceptability of these treatment strategies among patients and physicians so that the study team can later do a larger trial to test whether the medication treatment pathways help patients avoid colectomy while ensuring patient's are safe.

Sponsor: Berinstein, Jeffrey
