Most evident was that both the magnitude and duration of candidate gene expression were greater within the nonresponsive genotype, which is indicative of an intense physiological response to the induction treatment that may be antagonistic to SE induction.
An open-label study (20) showed that in 5-ASA allergic or nonresponsive UC patients, VSL#3 was able to colonize the intestine and suggested that the product may be useful in maintaining remission (15 out of 20 patients remained in remission during the 1-year study).
