Results A total of 35 patients were enrolled from 11 centers. The clinical responses at 8 and 52 weeks were 60.0% and 51.4%, respectively. The clinical remission rates at 8 and 52 weeks were 45.7% and 48.6%, respectively. Positive predictors for week 52 response were combination of ADA with immunomodulator (IM) (OR: 27.229; 95% CI; 1.897-390.76; p=0.015) and a week 8 lower partial Mayo score (OR: 0.406; 95% CI; 0.204-0.809; p=0.010). A receiver operation characteristic curve analysis revealed the optimal week 8 partial Mayo score to be 2.5, therefore a partial Mayo score of ≤2 was a positive predictor for the continuation of ADA. No malignancy or death occurred during this study.
