Keywords: steroid-free clinical remission; ustekinumab; very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease.

Plain language summary

We observed efficacy and safety of ustekinumab in very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease, which has not been previously reported. Clinical remission at 52% was 75%, often persisting beyond 2 years. Further studies including larger numbers of cases are needed to confirm this observation.
