Background

The development program (UNIFI) has shown promising results of ustekinumab in ulcerative colitis (UC) treatment that should be confirmed in clinical practice.

Aims: Primary: to evaluate the durability of ustekinumab treatment in UC patients in clinical practice. Secondary: to assess the short-term response (at week 16) and the long-term effectiveness (at maximum follow-up) and to assess the safety of ustekinumab in clinical practice.

Methods

Patients included in the prospectively maintained ENEIDA registry who received at least one intravenous dose of ustekinumab due to active UC [Partial Mayo Score (PMS) >2] were included. Clinical activity and effectiveness were defined based on PMS.

Results

95 patients were included (table 1).





At week 16, 53% of patients had clinical response (including 35% of patients in remission) (figure 1). 





In the multivariate analysis, elevated serum C-reactive protein was the only variable significantly associated with clinical remission. Long-term remission is represented in figure 2.



36% of patients discontinued the treatment with ustekinumab during a median follow-up of 31 weeks. The probability of maintaining ustekinumab treatment was 87% at week 16, 63% at week 56, and 59% at week 72 (figure 3);



primary failure was the main reason for ustekinumab discontinuation. No variable was associated with risk of discontinuation. Three patients reported adverse events; one of them had a fatal severe SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Conclusion

Ustekinumab is effective both in the short and the long-term in real-life, even in a highly refractory cohort. Higher inflammatory burden at baseline correlated with lower probability of achieving remission. Safety was consistent with the known profile of ustekinumab.
