Résumé

Ustekinumab is approved in Europe for the treatment of moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD). Italian real-life data are scarce, so the aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of ustekinumab in an Italian cohort of CD patients. Data of patients with CD who started using ustekinumab were extracted from the cohort of the Sicilian Network for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Primary end-points were steroid-free clinical remission at 8, 24, and 52 weeks of therapy and reduction of C-reactive protein. Secondary end-points were treatment response, treatment persistence at 12 months, and safety. A total of 131 patients (males 56%; mean age 46 years Data from our real-life cohort of treatment-refractory CD patients suggest the satisfactory effectiveness and safety profile of ustekinumab.

BACKGROUND AND AIM OBJECTIVE
Ustekinumab is approved in Europe for the treatment of moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD). Italian real-life data are scarce, so the aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of ustekinumab in an Italian cohort of CD patients.
METHODS METHODS
Data of patients with CD who started using ustekinumab were extracted from the cohort of the Sicilian Network for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Primary end-points were steroid-free clinical remission at 8, 24, and 52 weeks of therapy and reduction of C-reactive protein. Secondary end-points were treatment response, treatment persistence at 12 months, and safety.
RESULTS RESULTS
A total of 131 patients (males 56%; mean age 46 years
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Data from our real-life cohort of treatment-refractory CD patients suggest the satisfactory effectiveness and safety profile of ustekinumab.
