Efficacy and safety of ustekinumab for ulcerative colitis through 4 years: Final results of the UNIFI long-term maintenance study

Long-term SC maintenance therapy of q8w and q12w ustekinumab in patients who responded to IV ustekinumab induction was safe and effective at maintaining symptomatic remission. Investigators aimed to present the final efficacy and safety results of the UNIFI LTE study through 4 years.

Additionally, safety results were consistent with the known safety profile of long-term ustekinumab treatment. Exposure-adjusted analysis also showed that ustekinumab AE rates were not greater than placebo.
