What are the placebo rates in randomized controlled trials in ulcerative colitis and which patient-and trial-level factors influence placebo rate when individual patient data are analyzed? This study analyzed individual patient data from multiple randomized trials to pinpoint factors driving placebo rates such as prior biologic exposure and trial design. Findings help researchers design smarter studies and interpret outcomes more accurately. Clinicians and trial designers will find this article essential for improving study design and accurately assessing treatment effects in ulcerative colitis research.
