Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The standard group: Infliximab (RemsimaTM) is intravenously administered at a dose of 5 mg/kg at week 0, 2, 6, 14, 22, 30, 38, and 46. Therapeutic dose monitoring (TDM, checking trough levels of infliximab) is performed at week 14, 22, 30, 38, and 46, but TDM results are not reflected in determining doses of infliximab.
The co-primary endpoints of the study will be 1) Clinical remission (both week 50 and week 54), 2) Changes of MAGNIFI-CD (Magnetic Resonance Novel Index for Fistula Imaging in Crohn's Disease) score compared with the baseline score (week 54)

Study Groups

TDM-based group
At week 0,2, and 6, infliximab (CT-P13, RemsimaTM) is intravenously administered at a dose of 5 mg/kg. From week 14 to 46 (at week 14, 22, 30, 38, and 46), infliximab dose can be increased to 10 mg/kg, targeting trough level (TL) of infliximab 10 mcg/mL or over (If TL is 10 mcg/mL or over under treatment with 5 mg/kg infliximab, 5 mg/kg of infliximab is continued. If TL is lower than 10 mcg/mL, infliximab dose is increased to 10 mg/kg). Once infliximab dose was increased to 10 mg/kg, the next doses are fixed to 10 mg/kg.
TDM-based infliximab intravenous therapy
Infliximab (CT-P13, RemsimaTM) is intravenously given as an induction therapy at a dose of 5 mg/kg at week 0, 2, and 6. From week 14 to 46 (at week 14, 22, 30, 38, and 46), infliximab dose can be increased to 10 mg/kg, targeting trough level (TL) of infliximab 10 mcg/mL or over (If TL is 10 mcg/mL or over under treatment with 5 mg/kg infliximab, 5 mg/kg of infliximab is continued. If TL is lower than 10 mcg/mL, infliximab dose is increased to 10 mg/kg). Once infliximab dose was increased to 10 mg/kg, the next doses are fixed to 10 mg/kg.
Standard group
Infliximab (CT-P13, RemsimaTM) is intravenously administered at a dose of 5 mg/kg at week 0, 2, 6, 14, 22, 30, 38, and 46. Therapeutic dose monitoring (TDM, checking trough levels of infliximab) is performed at week 14, 22, 30, 38, and 46, but TDM results are not reflected in determining doses of infliximab.
Standard infliximab intravenous therapy
Infliximab (CT-P13, RemsimaTM) is intravenously administered at a dose of 5 mg/kg at week 0, 2, 6, 14, 22, 30, 38, and 46. Therapeutic dose monitoring (TDM, checking trough levels of infliximab) is performed at week 14, 22, 30, 38, and 46, but TDM results are not reflected in determining doses of infliximab.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Subjects diagnosed with perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease based on clinical, endoscopic, histological, and radiologic findings, etc.
3. Subjects naive to both biological drugs (anti-TNFs, anti-integrin, anti-IL12/23, etc.) and investigational new drugs
4. Subjects with at least one draining perianal fistula
5. Subjects not responding to two or more conventional treatments (antibiotics, drainage, immunosuppressants, etc.)
6. Women with a childbearing potential: Those who agree to follow contraception during study drug administration and for at least 6 months from the last dosing of the study medication
Exclusion Criteria
2. Subject with a probability of receiving bowel surgery within 12 weeks after baseline, decided by investigators
3. Subjects with temporary or permanent stoma
4. Subjects with short bowel syndrome
5. Subjects not eligible due to significant bowel strictures or intra-abdominal abscesses

9. Subjects with a history of hypersensitivity to monoclonal antibody
10. Subjects requiring corticosteroid therapy. However, if oral corticosteroid dose lower or equivalent to prednisolone 20 mg/day before baseline is given and tapering of oral corticoseroid from baseline is planned, that subjects can be included in the study. Oral corticoseroid is tapered at a schedule of prednisolone 5 mg/7 days (example: if the subject was on oral prednisolone 20 mg/day before baseline, oral prednisolone is tapered as follows: 15 mg/day x 7 days -\> 10 mg/day x 7 days -\> 5 mg/day x 7 days -\> stopping of prednisolone)
11. Subjects with active tuberculosis. However, if the subject has a history of tuberculosis, which was cured with standard anti-tuberculosis therapy according to the standard anti-tuberculosis treatment guidelines, that subject can be included
12. Subjects with latent tuberculosis: Subjects determined to be positive for latent tuberculosis by the pulmonology specialist after history taking, physical examination, chest X-ray, and interferon gamma release assay during the screening period. However, even if positive for latent tuberculosis, if 4 week-treatment for latent tuberculosis is completed and if further treatment for latent tuberculosis is planned to be completed, that subject can be included
13. Subjects positive for HBsAg. In cases of HBsAg (-), but with IgG Anti-HBc (+), real time quantitative PCR for HBV DNA is required. If HBV DNA is 10 IU/mL or over, that subject should be excluded
14. Subjects positive for anti-HCV antibody
15. Subjects with a history of infection with HIV or subject positive for HIV Ag
16. Subjects positive for Clostridioides difficile toxin assay or Clostridioides difficile culture assay
17. Subjects with a heart disease of NYHA Class III/IV
18. Subjects with current or previous demyelinating disease
19. Subject with a history of malignancy (excluding skin basal cell carcinoma, skin squamous cell carcinoma, and uterine cervix cancer) within 5 years or with a history of dysplasia of colon or small bowel within 5 years.
20. Subjects with symptoms or signs of active infection or with a history of treatment for infection within 8 weeks
21. Subjects with a history of organ transplantation
22. Pregnant or lactating women
