A Multi-center, Prospective, Open-label, Randomized Study to Explore Efficacy and Safety of Baricitinib in Refractory Intestinal Behçet's Syndrome Patients
This study aims to conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy and safety of Baricitinib and Adalimumab (ADA) in the treatment of refractory intestinal Behçet's Syndrome (BS). The objective is to demonstrate if Baricitinib is non-inferior to ADA in controlling BS inflammation, reducing BS recurrence, alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms and promoting intestinal mucosal healing.
• Refer to the consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of intestinal Behçet's syndrome in China: Patients who meet the 2013 International Criteria for Behçet's Disease (ICBD) and have typical Behçet's syndrome-related intestinal ulcers confirmed by colonoscopy, or patients diagnosed according to the criteria for Behçet's syndrome established by the Korean Behçet's Disease Collaborative Group in 2009;
• Patients have a DAIBD score ≥ 40 points or intestinal symptom score ≥ 3 points at baseline;
• Endoscopic examination conducted within 60 days before inclusion suggests active intestinal ulcers;
• Patients who have been treated with medium to high-dose steroids (prednisolone equivalent of 0.5-1 mg/kg/day) for more than 1 month continuously, or any immunomodulator/Immunosuppressants for more than 3 months regularly or biologics for more than 2 months, as judged by the doctor to be treatment failure or intolerance;
• Currently steroid dose ≤ 30 mg prednisolone equivalent, stabilized for ≥ 2 weeks, and/or stabilized immunomodulator dose for ≥ 4 weeks;
• Understanding the research process, voluntary participation, and signing of informed consent.
