The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dual-target therapy (Ustekinumab combined with Upadacitinib) versus intensified Ustekinumab monotherapy in patients with Crohn's disease who have an inadequate response to standard doses of Ustekinumab. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is dual-target therapy more effective than intensified Ustekinumab monotherapy in achieving endoscopic remission in Crohn's disease patients?
Is dual-target therapy as safe as intensified Ustekinumab monotherapy in terms of adverse events?
Participants will:
Receive either dual-target therapy (Ustekinumab combined with Upadacitinib) or intensified Ustekinumab monotherapy.
Attend regular clinic visits for monitoring and assessments. Complete questionnaires about their symptoms and quality of life. Undergo routine blood tests and endoscopic evaluations to assess disease activity.
Researchers will compare the dual-target therapy group to the intensified Ustekinumab monotherapy group to see if dual-target therapy is more effective in achieving endoscopic remission and is as safe in terms of adverse events.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dual-target Therapy Group | Experimental | Participants in this group will receive the standard maintenance dosage of Ustekinumab administered subcutaneously, combined with the addition of Upadacitinib administered orally. |
|
| Intensified Ustekinumab Monotherapy Group | Active Comparator | Participants in this group will receive an additional induction dose of Ustekinumab administered intravenously, followed by maintenance therapy with Ustekinumab. |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ustekinumab and Upadacitinib | Drug | Participants will continue ustekinumab 90 mg administered subcutaneously every 8 weeks. In addition, upadacitinib will be administered orally once daily. During the induction period (Weeks 0-12), upadacitinib will be initiated at 15 mg or 30 mg daily, with escalation up to 45 mg daily permitted based on disease activity, clinical response, and tolerability. From Week 12 to Week 16, dose adjustment (15 0r 30 daily) will be allowed according to clinical judgment. Clinical efficacy will be assessed at Week 16. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The primary endpoint of the study is the endoscopic remission rate at week 16. | Endoscopic remission is defined as an SES-CD score of less than 3, with no individual variable subscore exceeding 1. | Week 16 |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical response rate at week 16 | Comparison of the clinical response rate (CDAI score reduction by ≥100 points from baseline, or CDAI score <150) between the UPA+UST group and the UST-M group at week 16. | Week 16. |
| Endoscopic response rate at week 16 |
