Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the IFX exposure (AUC), effectiveness, presence of ADAbs and treatment burden before and after switching from IV to SC IFX maintenance treatment in a real-world cohort of IBD patients with quiescent disease on IFX monotherapy and combination therapy of IFX and an immunomodulator. Methods: this is a prospective, single centre, open-label cohort study, conducted in Zuyderland Medical Centre in which 36 adult IBD patients in remission on stable IV IFX therapy are switched to SC CT-P13 of which 18 patients use an immunomodulator in addition to IFX (cohort 2). After the switch to SC CT-P13, patients are followed for 24 weeks. The study is subdivided into two phases: the IV IFX treatment phase before switching and the SC CT-P13 treatment phase after the switch. After enrolment, the subject receives a final dose of IV IFX according to their own maintenance schedule. Primary endpoints are the Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) at steady state (1) before and after the switch to SC CT-P13 and (2) with or without concomitant immunomodulator during SC therapy. AUCs will be estimated using pharmacokinetic modelling in MwPharm. Besides IFX trough level, treatment related time expenditure, quality-of-life and patient satisfaction will be assessed before and after the switch.
This study will compare the efficacy and safety of TDM (therapeutic drug monitoring)-based infliximab (CT-P13, RemsimaTM) intravenous therapy compared with the standard infliximab (RemsimaTM) intravenous therapy for patients with active perianal fistulzing Crohn's disease.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic non-specific inflammatory disease of the intestine. Infliximab (IFX) is a kind of one of the anti-tumor necrosis factor agents (anti-TNF) and is the main clinical treatment drug for Crohn's disease, but approximately 30-50% of patients develop a secondary non-response to respond within one year. The main cause of secondary non-response failure is the formation of anti-IFX anti-drug antibodies (ADA). The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene is a complex allele that has been associated with susceptibility to a variety of diseases. Studies have shown that HLADQA1*05 allele carriage significantly increases the immunogenicity of anti-tumor necrosis factor agents (anti-TNF) and the risk of ADA formation, resulting in a significant reduction in the efficacy of IFX. Our previous retrospective study found an increased risk of ADA, IFX failure to respond and discontinuation in patients with HLADQA1*05 variants, and that IFX in combination with immunosuppression improved clinical outcomes in wild-type genotype patients, whereas combination therapy in patients with variant genotype did not optimize clinical outcomes significantly. Therefore, we believe that the impact of HLADQA1*05 on the efficacy of IFX in the Chinese population is unclear, and the combination of immunosuppressants in patients with variant HLADQA1*05 genotype remains to be validated due to insufficient sample size. We hypothesized that HLADQA1*05 wild-type CD patients would have better clinical remission when treated with IFX than HLADQA1*05 variant patients and that the combination of immunosuppressants would improve the outcome in wild-type patients but not in variant patients. By advancing this project, we hope to provide high quality evidence on the clinical use of IFX in Crohn's disease in the Chinese population and help physicians to be more selective in the use of IFX alone or in combination with azathioprine, or to switch treatment in a timely manner.
This is a randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy and safety of infliximab and immunosuppressives therapy alone or in combination for pediatric Crohn's disease.
Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis (UC) patients with moderate to severe disease activity at high risk of colectomy. Early use of biologic agents will likely be more effective. But there were no studies identified that compared a strategy of upfront biologic-based therapy versus gradual step-up therapy. In our study, newly diagnosed moderate to severe pediatric UC patients (6-18 years old) will be randomly divided into infliximab (IFX) treatment group (Top down group, TD) and corticosteroids (CS) treatment group (Step-up group, SU). Mucosal healing rate at week 12 will be compared between the two groups. The relapse rates and sustained durations of remission within one year will also be evaluated.
prospectively compared Exclusive Enteral Nutrition with Infliximab in the clinical outcomes, mucosal healing, nutrition improvements, adverse effects and gastrointestinal microbiota changes on Chinese Children With active Crohn's Disease
This project is designed to test the hypothesis that infliximab is clinically useful for patients with refractory childhood uveitis.
To evaluate the predictive value of clinical, functional (HAQ), laboratory and US variables in relation to disease activity and radiographic outcome in patients with RA who start treatment with Remicade at 24 weeks.
