Brief Summary

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

Approximately 3 million people in the United States are living with inflammatory bowel disease, which includes Crohn's Disease (CD). There are limited treatment options approved for use in children and adults with Crohn's disease. Physicians need better ways to inform decisions on treatment.

The main reason for this research study is to determine if a computer program that calculates an individualized dose based on a patient's blood testing results (precision dosing) can better achieve the best possible response to infliximab compared to standard dosing (conventional dosing).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an open-label, cluster randomized clinical trial to test whether precision infliximab dosing with a targeted concentration intervention is superior in achieving deep remission (endoscopic healing and clinical remission) compared to patients receiving conventional infliximab dosing.

With recognition that CD patients who achieve the "target" of deep remission with anti-TNF dose optimizations following pharmacodynamic monitoring had a significant reduction in CD-related adverse events, our central hypothesis is precision dosing with infliximab during induction and maintenance will achieve superior rates of deep remission vs. conventional care (control arm)

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Conventional dosing

Induction Phase: 5-7.5 mg/kg at 0, 2, and 6 weeks. Maintenance Phase : 5-10 mg/kg at every 4-8 weeks based on results of drug concentration monitoring for a flat target of 5-10 μg/mL.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Infliximab

Intervention Type DRUG

Conventional dosing. Induction: 5-7.5 mg/kg at 0, 2, and 6 weeks. Maintenance: 5-10 mg/kg at every 4-8 weeks based on results of drug concentration monitoring for a flat target of 5-10 μg/mL.

Precision dosing. Induction: 5-12.5 mg/kg at 0, 2, and 6 weeks to target a week6 concentration of 18-24 μg/mL with dosing support provided by the RoadMABTM clinical decision support tool. Maintenance: 5-15 mg/kg every 4-8 weeks to achieve apriori pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic targets (CRP, disease activity scores and fecal calprotectin) with dosing support provided by the RoadMABTM clinical decision support tool.
