Abstract
In this real-life cohort of severe anti-TNF resistant CD, an initial clinical response to subcutaneous ustekinumab was observed in 73.7% of the patients. The initial response was successfully maintained in the majority of patients for up to 12Â months. Subcutaneous ustekinumab is an effective therapeutic option in this challenging patient cohort. The optimal dosing and injection schedule remain to be established in future studies.
