Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates 2 therapeutic strategies (increase infliximab dose or add an immunosuppressant) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease in loss of response to infliximab. Addition of an immunosuppressant may be more efficient at long term and is less expensive.
