Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to gain insight into the exposure-response relationship of golimumab in moderate-to-severe Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Patients commencing induction therapy with golimumab will be enrolled into a prospective study and evaluated at three time-points (weeks 6, 10 and 14) for clinical and biochemical UC disease activity as well as serum golimumab concentrations and the presence of anti-golimumab antibodies. Patients already established on stable golimumab maintenance therapy will be enrolled into a cross-sectional study with the same evaluations taken at a single time point.
