Summary

This trial will help researchers understand the long-term effects of ustekinumab, a medication used to treat autoimmune diseases.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pediatric patients who have completed a primary ustekinumab study for Crohn's Disease, Psoriatic Arthritis, or Ulcerative Colitis. They must show benefits from previous treatment and agree to lifestyle restrictions. Girls must not be pregnant and all participants should not plan on becoming parents soon.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the long-term safety of ustekinumab, an injectable medication given under the skin (subcutaneous), in children who have shown improvement with this drug during a prior study.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, long-term safety data collection suggests monitoring for any adverse reactions due to prolonged use of ustekinumab in young patients.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: UstekinumabExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will have continued access to ustekinumab for primary study (CNTO1275CRD1001, CNTO1275PUC3001, CNTO1275CRD3004, CNTO1275JPA3001) participants who in the opinion of the investigator will continue to benefit from ustekinumab therapy. All blinded participants who enroll in the long-term extension (LTE) from blinded primary studies with both every 8 weeks (q8w) and every 12 weeks (q12w) dosing groups just prior to the end of the primary study will be assigned to the q8w dosing regimen. Participants enrolling in the LTE from an unblinded primary study will remain on the final dosing regimen that they were receiving in the primary study. Participants enrolling from the Exposure Optimization Substudy may be eligible to remain on the every 4 weeks (q4w) dosing regimen.
