It has been demonstrated that ustekinumab (UST) is effective as an induction and maintenance therapy in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). However, a significant number of patients experience an insufficient response or a secondary non-response. We report six cases from our center that underwent a rescue treatment by changing maintenance treatment to weight-adjusted intravenous UST, obtaining a subsequent clinical improvement.
已证明乌司奴单抗(UST)作为克罗恩病(CD)患者的诱导和维持治疗是有效的。然而,相当数量的患者反应不足或出现继发性无反应。我们报告了来自我们中心的6例患者,他们通过将维持治疗改为按体重调整的静脉注射UST进行了挽救治疗,随后临床症状得到改善。
