Early-Phase Partial Mayo Score following Golimumab Treatment Is Associated with Endoscopic Improvement at 1 Year in Ulcerative Colitis: A post hoc Analysis of PURSUIT-J Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Golimumab (GLM) is an anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha antibody therapy for moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Endoscopic improvement is considered one of UC treatment's main goals, and earlier prediction of future endoscopic improvement has clinical implications. We retrospectively analyzed data from the PURSUIT-J, a phase III randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of GLM in the maintenance phase, to find predictors for endoscopic improvement after 60 weeks of GLM treatment.

Methods

Ninety-two patients who had completed the maintenance phase of the PURSUIT-J were divided into two groups: those with mucosal healing (MH: Mayo endoscopic subscore of 0 or 1) and those without MH at week 60 (non-MHs). Multivariate logistic regression
