The effect of early trough level of infliximab on subsequent disease course in patients with Crohn disease: A prospective cohort study

Decreased trough level of infliximab (TLI) is associated with diminished efficacy in patients with Crohn disease (CD). We examined whether TLI at 14 weeks subsequent to the start of infliximab (IFX) treatment would impact long-term clinical course.Serum IFX levels and antibodies to IFX (ATI) at 14 a...

Zusammenfassung:Decreased trough level of infliximab (TLI) is associated with diminished efficacy in patients with Crohn disease (CD). We examined whether TLI at 14 weeks subsequent to the start of infliximab (IFX) treatment would impact long-term clinical course.Serum IFX levels and antibodies to IFX (ATI) at 14 and 54 weeks after IFX administration were measured in 12 patients with mild to moderate CD. We examined patient background, clinical severity, blood test values, and the relationship between ATI and TLI up to 108 weeks.We compared the group with TLI
