Evidence on the use of ustekinumab in biological naïve real-world patients is scarce. Here, we present real-world data evaluating the effectiveness and safety of ustekinumab in 84 bio-naïve patients from 17 Spanish hospitals. We report high rates of both clinical and biological remission. Moreover, after 1 year, 90.4% of patients remained being treated with ustekinumab. The safety profile of ustekinumab in these patient population was favourable. In conclusion, our results show that in patients with CD, ustekinumab could be considered as first-line therapy.
