Brief Summary

Endocopic remission rates of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis are low. Biologics including Vedolizumab, infliximab, and adalimumab are effective in induction and maintainence of ulcerative colitis. The role of 5-ASA in promoting a higher rate of endocsopic remission is unclear. We aim to evaluate the efficacy of combination of 5-ASA and biologics in treating ulcerative colitis.
