a

Includes: 1) Patients who were in clinical response to ustekinumab IV induction dosing, were randomized and received placebo SC on entry into this maintenance study, and did not meet loss of response criteria from Week 8 through Week 32; 2) Patients who were in clinical response to placebo IV induction dosing and received placebo SC on entry into this maintenance study.

b

Includes: 1) Patients who were in clinical response to ustekinumab IV induction dosing, were randomized and received ustekinumab 90 mg SC q12w, and did not meet loss of response criteria from Week 8 through Week 32; 2)Patients who were not in clinical response to placebo IV induction dosing, received ustekinumab 130 mg IV at Week 0, achieved clinical response at Week 8, and initiated ustekinumab 90 mg SC q12w.

c

Includes: 1)Patients who were in clinical response to ustekinumab IV induction dosing, were randomized on entry into this maintenance study, received ustekinumab 90 mg SC q8w, or met loss of response criteria from Week 8 through Week 32 and received ustekinumab 90 mg SC q8w thereafter; 2)Patients who were not in clinical response to ustekinumab IV induction dosing, received ustekinumab 90 mg SC at Week 0, achieved clinical response at Week 8, and initiated ustekinumab 90 mg SC q8w.

d

Infections as assessed by the investigator.

e

Confidence intervals based on an exact method, assuming that the observed number of events follows a Poisson distribution.

f

Includes: Patient who were in clinical response to ustekinumab IV induction dosing and were randomized to receive study drug on entry to the maintenance study.

g

Includes data up to the time of meeting loss of response criteria for dose adjustment (occurred from Week 8 through Week 32).

h
