    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: There are limited data of ustekinumab administered according to the doses recommended in the UNITI studies. AIM: To assess the real-world, short-term effectiveness of ustekinumab in refractory Crohn's disease (CD) METHODS: Multicentre study of CD patients starting ustekinumab after June 2017 at the recommend dose (260, 390 or 520 mg based on weight ~6 mg/kg IV week 0 and 90 mg subcutaneously week 8). Values for Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI), C-reactive protein (CRP) and faecal calprotectin (FC) were recorded at baseline and at weeks 8 and 14. Demographic and clinical data, previous treatments, AEs and hospitalisations were documented. Possible predictors of clinical remission were examined. RESULTS: Three hundred and five patients were analysed (≥2 previous anti-TNFα therapies 64% and vedolizumab 29%). At baseline, 217 (72%) had an HBI >4 points. Of these, 101 (47%) and 126 (58%) achieved clinical remission at weeks 8 and 14, respectively. FC levels returned to normal (<250 µg/g) in 46% and 54% of the patients at weeks 8 and 14 respectively. CRP returned to normal (<3 mg/L) in the 35% and 41% of the patients at week 8 and 14 respectively. AEs were recorded in 38, and 40 patients were hospitalised. Intolerance to the most recent anti-TNF agent and fewer previous anti-TNF agents were associated with clinical remission at week 14. Endoscopic severity was associated with poor response. CONCLUSION: This is the first study to show the real-world effectiveness and safety of ustekinumab administered according to the recommended induction regimen in a cohort of highly refractory CD patients.
