What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Interval Between Infliximab Infusions Within the Observation Period (Maintenance Therapy)

    Participants received infliximab infusions with or without induction therapy. The induction therapy consisted of three infliximab infusions at Weeks 0, 2 and 6. Maintenance therapy consisted of an additional 6 infusions (maximum) as prescribed by the treating physician (dose and infusion interval).

    Measured: up to 2 years

  2. Median Interval Between Infliximab Infusions Within the Observation Period (Maintenance Therapy)

    Participants received infliximab infusions with or without induction therapy. The induction therapy consisted of three infliximab infusions at Weeks 0, 2 and 6. Maintenance therapy consisted of an additional 6 infusions (maximum) as prescribed by the treating physician (dose and infusion interval).

    Measured: up to 2 years

  3. Average Dose of Infliximab Per Participant Within the Observation Period

    Participants received infliximab infusions with or without induction therapy. The induction therapy consisted of three infliximab infusions at Weeks 0, 2 and 6. Maintenance therapy consisted of an additional 6 infusions (maximum) as prescribed by the treating physician (dose and infusion interval).

    Measured: up to 2 years

  4. Median Dose of Infliximab Per Participant Within the Observation Period

    Participants received infliximab infusions with or without induction therapy. The induction therapy consisted of three infliximab infusions at Weeks 0, 2 and 6. Maintenance therapy consisted of an additional 6 infusions (maximum) as prescribed by the treating physician (dose and infusion interval).

    Measured: up to 2 years

  5. Total Dose of Infliximab Per Participant Within the Observation Period

    Participants received infliximab infusions with or without induction therapy. The induction therapy consisted of three infliximab infusions at Weeks 0, 2 and 6. Maintenance therapy consisted of an additional 6 infusions (maximum) as prescribed by the treating physician (dose and infusion interval).

    Measured: up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assessment of the Disease Activity Before Treatment and During Therapy With Remicade Via Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI) in an Extended Patient Group of 200 Patients.

    HBI consists of only clinical parameters (general well-being, abdominal pain, number of liquid stools per day, abdominal mass, and complications). HBI is a score on a scale; <5 (remission), 5-7 (mild disease), 8-16 (moderate disease), >16 (severe disease).

    Measured: 5 years

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Interval Between Infliximab Infusions Within the Observation Period (Maintenance Therapy) (time frame: up to 2 years). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?
