Brief Summary

From January 2020 to January 2025, Crohn's disease (CD) patients and gender- and age-matched normal controls were collected from the Department of Gastroenterology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. The aim of this research is to explore the associations of microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) gene polymorphisms with the risk and clinicopathological characteristics of CD, and to analyze the effects of miRNAs gene variantions on the clinical response of ustekinumab (UST) treatment in CD patients at week 8.

Conditions

Crohn Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• the genotypes of miRNAs

  multiplex polymerase chain reaction-ligase detection reaction technique

  Baseline

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• clinical response of ustekinumab treatment

  week 8

Study Arms (2)

CD patients

Some CD patients received sufficient UST (6 mg/kg) intravenous infusion at week 0, followed by one subcutaneous (SC) dose of 90 mg UST at 8 weeks. Maintenance therapy consisted of 90 mg subcutaneous UST every 8 or 12 weeks.

Biological: Ustekinumab - Standard Dosage

normal controls

no biological agents treatment
