Subcutaneous infliximab in Crohn's disease patients with previous immunogenic failure of intravenous infliximab.

Immunogenicity is a major reason for secondary loss of response to infliximab (IFX). Recent work suggested potentially lower immunogenicity of subcutaneous (SC) compared to intravenous (IV) IFX. Howev... In a retrospective cohort study conducted at two medical centers, patients with clinically (Harvey-Bradshaw Index ≥ 5) and/or biochemically (fecal calprotectin > 250 µg/g) active Crohn's disease (CD) ...

Early Infliximab Trough Levels Predict the Long-term Efficacy of Infliximab in a Randomized Controlled Trial in Patients with Active Crohn's Disease Comparing, between CT-P13 and Originator Infliximab.

The clinical efficacy and safety of CT-P13 are comparable to originator infliximab for Crohn's disease in CT-P13 3.4 study (NCT02096861). We performed a multivariate logistic analysis to demonstrate t... Early serum infliximab trough levels and anti-drug antibody (ADA) levels were compared between CT-P13 (n=100) and originator infliximab (n=98) groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis ... The median infliximab trough levels were not different between CT-P13 and originator infliximab groups at week 6, week 14, and in median ADA levels at week 14, respectively. ROC analysis found an infl... A threshold in serum infliximab trough level at week 6 and week 14 was highly predictive for long-term clinical outcomes.
