Abstract
This study clarifies the long-term effectiveness of ustekinumab based on real-life data from Japanese Crohn's disease (CD) patients. A total of 137 patients were included, and 124 patients (90.5%) were exposed to anti-tumor necrosis factor-α agents. The clinical remission rate at week 52 was 32.4% in moderate to severely active CD patients. The achievement of clinical remission for 8 weeks after ustekinumab therapy induction was associated with clinical remission at week 52. Ustekinumab persistence rate at week 104 was 81.4%. Ustekinumab is effective and persistent in CD patients with the previous treatment history of several biologics.
