About this study

Official title: A Cross Sectional Study To Determine The Relationship Between Serum Infliximab Concentration And Efficacy In Patients With Luminal Crohn's Disease

To assess the relationship between the change in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) scores and trough serum infliximab concentration in subjects who are scheduled to receive infliximab infusions at an interval of 8 weeks.

Read the detailed description

This cross sectional study will evaluate a sample of 360 subjects with luminal Crohn's disease who are receiving infliximab in 15-20 Canadian infusion centres. The sample will be stratified by disease activity [mild = CDAI <150, moderate/severe = CDAI ≥150] and whether or not subjects are on concomitant immunosuppressive therapy. Thus 4 strata will be created consisting of 90 subjects each. Consent will be obtained prior to or at Visit 1, subjects will retrospectively complete a CDAI diary card for the preceding 7 days and blood work will be drawn prior to infliximab infusion. Four weeks thereafter at Visit 2, subjects will provide an additional blood sample to measure serum infliximab concentrations and CRP levels. Between Visits 1 and 3, subjects will complete daily CDAI diary entries. Visit 3 will take place at the next scheduled infusion, 8 weeks after Visit 1 (+/- 7 days ).

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00676988, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jun 2012.
