A Study of the Effectiveness and Safety of Infliximab for Pediatric Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether serum infliximab concentrations measured at the time of loss of clinical response will identify pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who would benefit (regain clinical response) from dose escalation above the currently approved dose.

  • Must have negative stool results for enteric pathogens. Stool studies must include a stool culture and Clostridium difficile toxin assay.

  • Must be up to date with all immunizations in agreement with current local immunization guidelines for immunosuppressed participants prior to Screening
  • Must not have discontinued infliximab therapy

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Must not require, or must not have required, within the 2 months prior to Screening, surgery for active gastrointestinal bleeding, peritonitis, intestinal obstruction, or intraabdominal or pancreatic abscess requiring surgical drainage, or other conditions possibly confounding the evaluation of benefit from infliximab treatment
  • Must not have presence or history of colonic or small bowel obstruction within 6 months prior to Screening, confirmed by objective radiographic or endoscopic evidence of a stricture with resulting obstruction (example, dilation of the colon or small bowel proximal to the stricture on barium radiograph or an inability to traverse the stricture at endoscopy)
  • Must not have local manifestations of CD, such as fistulae, strictures, abscesses, or other disease complications for which surgery might be indicated. Enterocutaneuous fistulae for which surgery is not indicated, are allowed
  • Must not have presence of a stoma
  • Must not have documented short bowel syndrome (more than 100 centimeter in total of small bowel resected)
  • Serpopositive for antibodieis to Hepatitis C. Virus
  • Any immunosuppressant biologic drug (approved or investigational ) within 4 weeks prior to first administration of infliximab or within 5 half lives of the investigational agent, whichever is longer, or is currently enrolled in an interventional study
