Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Group 1: Ustekinumab (IV re-induction)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants who experience a secondary loss of response (LoR) to 90 mg ustekinumab maintenance treatment, administered subcutaneously every 8 weeks (q8w) will receive a weight-tiered based ustekinumab IV re-induction dose of approximately 6 mg/kg and matching placebo subcutaneously at Week 0. At Weeks 8 and 16, all participants will receive SC maintenance injections of 90 mg ustekinumab. Participants will resume their standard-of-care therapy at Week 24 at the discretion of the treating physician.
Group II: Group 2: Ustekinumab (Continuous q8w SC maintenance)Active Control2 Interventions
Participants who experience a secondary LoR to 90 mg ustekinumab maintenance treatment, administered subcutaneously q8w will receive ustekinumab 90 mg subcutaneously and matching placebo intravenously at Week 0. At Weeks 8 and 16, all participants will receive SC maintenance injections of 90 mg ustekinumab. Participants will resume their standard-of-care therapy at Week 24 at the discretion of the treating physician.

Answered by AI

Are new patients being enrolled in this program at this time?

"This study, as indicated by clinicaltrials.gov, is not looking for any more patients as it is not an active trial. However, this study was posted on December 20th, 2018 and was edited most recently on October 12th, 2020. There are 291 other trials that are currently enrolling participants."

Answered by AI

What are some of the key benefits of Ustekinumab 6 mg/kg (IV)?

Answered by AI

How many patients are currently enrolled in this research project?

"Unfortunately, this study is no longer recruiting patients. Although, there are presently 256 clinical trials actively looking for participants with ileocolitis and 35 trials for Ustekinumab approximately 6 mg/kg (IV) that are still recruiting."

Answered by AI

What are the risks associated with a Ustekinumab dosage of 6 mg/kg (IV)?
