Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical benefit and tolerability of adalimumab a fully human monoclonal antibody to tumor necrosis factor α TNF- α in patients with ulcerative colitis UC naive to treatment with biologics
Detailed Description: Ulcerative colitis UC is one of the two primary forms of idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease IBD Recent studies have shown that TNF- α may play a major role in the etiopathogenesis of UC justifying the use of anti-TNF-α therapies Adalimumab is an immunoglobulin G1 that specifically binds to TNF-α and neutralizes its function it also modulates the biological response induced and regulated by TNF-α

Conventional UC therapy quite commonly does not bring satisfactory results therefore interest in new treatment methods has been growing recently Biological therapy is a highly promising prospect since it enables to discontinue the use of glucocorticosteroids and immunosuppressives or their dose reduction shortens the hospitalization period allows to avoid surgical treatment extends the clinical response the remission period and improves the patients quality of life

Thus the present study assesses the clinical response of active ulcerative colitis to adalimumab treatment
