This is a prospective cohort study enrolling ulcerative colitis patients who initiate
tofacitinib therapy. Investigators will collect clinical data, blood and stool samples prior
to initiation of tofacitinib and, at minimum, monthly after the start of therapy. They will
collect tissue from colonoscopies prior to initiation of therapy and within 6 months on
therapy. Clinical characteristics and response to treatment will then be associated with
genotype, blood immune profiles, stool microbiota, and cellular and molecular profiles of the
biopsies to generate a treatment response model. Using predictors identified in our model, we
will then attempt to validate the model and findings with the OCTAVE (Pfizer), SPARC (CCF),
and RISK (CCF) data.
