Janssen releases two-year data from Phase III Crohn's disease study

17 February 2017

Janssen has announced new two-year results from its long-term study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Stelara (ustekinumab) in patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn’s disease.

The Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) subsidiary released data showing that patients treated with Stelara maintained clinical response and remission for up to two years with no new safety signals observed.

“Maintaining control of disease symptoms is paramount in the treatment of Crohn’s disease. The two-year clinical response and remission rates from this study provide further evidence that ustekinumab can be an effective therapeutic option for people living with this chronic and often debilitating disease,” said Professor William Sandborn, gastroenterology chief at University of California San Diego.
