Study summary

The loss of response rate of ustekinumab(UST) is high, and the specific mechanism has not yet been elucidated. Our study aimed to retrospectively analyze the clinical efficacy and influence factors of individualized treatment of ustekinumab (UST) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD).

Read the detailed description

Interleukin (IL-12) and interleukin (IL-23) co-contain the P40 subunit, and ustekinumab (UST) is a fully humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that targets the P40 subunit. The conventional regimen of UST in the treatment of Crohn's disease is that after the first sufficient dose (6 mg/kg) of intravenous infusion, 90 mg UST is injected subcutaneously at the 8th week according to the patient's response, and maintenance therapy is given every 8 or 12 weeks. However, data from real-world studies suggest that the clinical efficacy of treating CD with the conventional UST regimen is less than ideal.Our study aimed to retrospectively analyze the clinical efficacy and influence factors of individualized treatment of ustekinumab in patients with Crohn's disease .

Interventions

  • DrugOptimized Treatment (OPT)

    After the first sufficient intravenous infusion of UST (6 mg/kg), the patient's response was assessed based on PRO2 at week 8, and an individualized treatment plan was developed. At week 8, the patients with incomplete response of PRO2 (a decline of PRO2 was less than 50% from baseline or still in moderate to severe active phase of PRO2) were given one or more UST intravenous re-induction (6 mg/kg) every 4 or 6 weeks.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The endoscopic efficacy of ustekinumab treatment at week 36

    Simplified Crohn's Disease Endoscopic Score (SES-CD) was employed to evaluate the degree of intestinal inflammation of CD patients.Intestinal inflammation was assessed as mild (3-6 points) , moderate (7-15 points) , and severe (≥16 points) .

    Time frame: at week 36

  2. The clinical efficacy of ustekinumab treatment at week 36

    Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI) was applied to assess the clinical activity of CD patients.HBI is divided into mild (5-7 points), moderate (8-16 points), and severe (≥ 17 points).

    Time frame: at week 36

Secondary outcomes

  1. influencing factors

    At week 36, analyze the influencing factors of clinical remission rate(HBI≤ 4 points) .

    Time frame: at week 36

  2. influencing factors

    At week 36, analyze the influencing factors of endoscopic remission rate(SES-CD ≤ 2 points, or no ulcers).

    Time frame: at week 36

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 21, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
