Ustekinumab (UST) is a monoclonal antibody targeting the p40 subunit shared by interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-23. Following induction therapy, patients transition to maintenance therapy with subcutaneous UST administered every 8 or 12 weeks, beginning 8 weeks after the initial intravenous infusion. Because the clinical remission rate at week 8 was less than 20% in the phase III trial, most patients in routine clinical practice initially receive maintenance therapy every 8 weeks, with extension to every 12 weeks considered after stable disease control has been achieved. However, evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of extending the UST dosing interval, as well as predictors of successful interval extension, remains limited in patients with ulcerative colitis.
The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of extending the UST maintenance dosing interval from every 8 weeks to every 12 weeks in patients with ulcerative colitis. In addition, the study will investigate the success rate of dosing interval extension and identify predictors associated with successful interval extension.

Treatment
| Medicine |
The maintenance dosing interval of UST 90 mg per dose subcutaneous injection will be extended from every 8 weeks to every 12 weeks.
UST 90 mg per dose subcutaneous injection will be continued every 8 weeks as maintenance therapy.
| 20 | years-old | <= |
| Not applicable |
Male and Female
Patients with ulcerative colitis UC receiving maintenance therapy with subcutaneous UST 90 mg every 8 weeks will be included. Eligible patients must achieve clinical remission and mucosal healing one year after initiation of UST therapy. Mucosal healing is defined as endoscopic Mayo score 0 or 1 and fecal calprotectin level <=240 ug/g.
Patients younger than 20 years of age will be excluded.
