Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of infliximab to the children who don't respond to the first dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) (2g/kg) in Kawasaki disease.

Detailed Description

Kawasaki disease(KD), the most common cause of acquired heart disease in developed countries, is a self-limited vasculitis that is treated with high doses of intravenous immunoglobulin. Resistance to intravenous immunoglobulin in Kawasaki disease which is defined as a temperature of 38.0°C or higher at 36 hours to 7 days after completion of the infusion of intravenous immunoglobulin increases the risk of coronary artery lesions. We will conduct a multicenter, randomized, prospective trial to determine whether the use of infliximab to the children who don't respond to the first dose of IVIG(2g/kg) reduces the risk of coronary artery diseases. The IVIG-resistant children will be randomly assigned to either the infliximab or IVIG group in a 1:1 ratio and receive either infliximab (5 mg/kg at 1 mg/mL intravenously over 2 h) or IVIG (2g/kg). The level of leukocyte (WBC)counts, C-reactive protein, alanine transaminase,interleukin- 1( IL-1), interleukin- 6(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-a(TNF-a), soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor-1(STNFR-I), soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor-2(STNFR-2), the fever days,and the cost of hospital stay will be analyzed between these two groups.The final outcome is the incidence of coronary artery lesions.

• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Infliximab

For one group of patients with resistance to intravenous immunoglobulin in Kawasaki disease , we will give them infliximab (5mg/kg) once.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Infliximab

Intervention Type: DRUG

The treatment-resistant children will be randomly assigned to either the infliximab or IVIG group in a 1:1 ratio and receive either infliximab (5 mg/kg at 1 mg/mL intravenously over 2 h) or IVIG (2g/kg). The primary outcome measure is change in absolute cell counts, concentrations of C-reactive protein, alanine transaminase,IL-1,IL-6,TNF-a,STNFR-I,STNFR-2; number of fever days (24 h period with a temperature of at least 38•0°C) from enrolment; duration and cost of hospital stay.The secondary 0utcome Measure is the incidence of coronary artery abnormalities

IVIG

For the other group of patients with resistance to intravenous immunoglobulin in Kawasaki disease , we will give them IVIG (2g/kg) once.

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

IVIG

Intervention Type: DRUG

The treatment-resistant children will be randomly assigned to either the infliximab or IVIG group in a 1:1 ratio and receive either infliximab (5 mg/kg at 1 mg/mL intravenously over 2 h) or IVIG (2g/kg). The primary outcome measure is change in absolute cell counts, concentrations of C-reactive protein, alanine transaminase,IL-1,IL-6,TNF-a,STNFR-I,STNFR-2; number of fever days (24 h period with a temperature of at least 38•0°C) from enrolment; duration and cost of hospital stay.The secondary 0utcome Measure is the incidence of coronary artery abnormalities
