    Snippet: BACKGROUND: Granulocyte and monocyte adsorptive apheresis (GMA) has been used for therapy of steroid-dependent/refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of GMA in UC patients not receiving steroids. METHODS: We conducted a single-arm, open-label, and multicenter prospective clinical trial. UC patients who had insufficient responses to 5-aminosalicylic acid received GMA twice a week for 5 weeks. RESULTS: The response rate of all patients was 58

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of GMA in UC patients not receiving steroids. METHODS: We conducted a single-arm, open-label, and multicenter prospective clinical trial. UC patients who had insufficient responses to 5-aminosalicylic acid received GMA twice a week for 5 weeks. RESULTS: The response rate of all patients was 58.2% (39/67). Of the 39 patients who achieved a response, 74.4% achieved endoscopically confirmed mucosal healing. CONCLUSIONS: GMA shows effectiveness in inducing remission in UC patients not receiving steroid.
