First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looks at whether people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are in deep remission can safely reduce how often they take the biologic drug ustekinumab. Researchers will monitor blood levels, inflammation, and gut health to see if a lower dose still keeps the disease under control. About 115 participants will either stretch their injections from every 4 weeks to every 8 weeks, or from every 8 weeks to every 12 weeks.
