Recent cutaneous and perianal abscesses are not exclusionary if drained and adequately treated at least 3 weeks prior to baseline, or 8 weeks prior to baseline for intra-abdominal abscesses, provided that there is no anticipated need for any further surgery. Participants with active fistulas may be included if there is no anticipation of a need for surgery and there are currently no abscesses identified

About this study
Official title: An Interventional, Open-label, Single Arm, Multicenter Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Infliximab in Subject With Moderate-to-Severe Refractory Intestinal Behcet's Disease
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of infliximab in induction regimen by assessing the mean decrease in Disease Activity Index for intestinal Behcet's disease (DAIBD) score of 20 or more in participants with active intestinal Behcet's disease who are refractory to conventional therapies.
Read the detailed description
This is an open-label (all participants know the identity of the intervention), single arm, multicenter (when more than one hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study) study of Infliximab in participant with Moderate-to-Severe Refractory Intestinal Behcet's Disease. The study consists of 3 Phases: Screening Phase (4 weeks), induction Phase for 8 weeks, and maintenance Phase for 24 weeks extending from Week 0 (baseline), and a safety Follow up visit (Week 36 or approximately 6 weeks after the last administration of study drug). The duration of participation in the study for each participant is approximately 40 weeks. The mean decrease in Disease Activity Index for intestinal Behcet's disease (DAIBD) score of 20 or more will be evaluated primarily. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Infliximab | Experimental | Participants will receive infliximab 5 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) infusion at Week 0, Week 2, and Week 6 and will be evaluated for the induction phase at Week 8.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The Mean Decrease in Disease Activity Index for Intestinal Behcet's Disease (DAIBD) Score of 20 or More From Baseline at Week 8
The DAIBD will be assessed by collecting information on 8 different intestinal BD-related variables. These 8 variables are: fever, abdominal mass, abdominal tenderness, intestinal complications, extraintestinal manifestations, general well-being, abdominal pain, and total number of liquid stools. The last 3 variables are scored over 7 days by the participant on a diary card. Abdominal pain will be measured using the 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) to standardize the evaluation of pain and the result of 11-point NRS will be divided into 4 grades (none, mild, moderate, severe) to fill out the DAIBD. where, None indicate 0; Mild indicate 1-3; Moderate indicate 4-6; Severe indicate 7-10.
Measured: Baseline and Week 8
Secondary outcomes (9)

The DAIBD will be assessed by collecting information on 8 different intestinal BD-related variables. These 8 variables are: fever, abdominal mass, abdominal tenderness, intestinal complications, extraintestinal manifestations, general well-being, abdominal pain, and total number of liquid stools. The last 3 variables are scored over 7 days by the participant on a diary card. Abdominal pain will be measured using the 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) to standardize the evaluation of pain and the result of 11-point NRS will be divided into 4 grades (none, mild, moderate, severe) to fill out the DAIBD. where, None indicate 0; Mild indicate 1-3; Moderate indicate 4-6; Severe indicate 7-10.
Measured: At Week 8 and 32
Percentage of Participant With Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) 70 Response at Week 8 and 32
The CDAI will be assessed by collecting information on 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables. These 8 variables are: extraintestinal manifestations, abdominal mass, weight, hematocrit, use of antidiarrheal drug(s) and/or opiates, total number of liquid stools, abdominal pain/cramping, and general well-being. The last 3 variables are scored over 7 days by the participant on a diary card. The CDAI 70-response is defined as a reduction from baseline in the CDAI score of greater than or equal to (>=) 70 points.
Measured: At Week 8 and 32
Change in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Score From Baseline at Week 8 and 32
The CDAI will be assessed by collecting information on 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables.

Period Needed to Reach Clinical Remission From Baseline at Week 32
The duration for participants required to reach clinical remission will be analysed.
Measured: Up to Week 32
Percentage of Participants With Mucosal Healing at Week 32
Mucosal healing will be assessed using endoscopy (ileocolonoscopy) in consenting participants. A video ileocolonoscopic examination will be performed according to the study reference manual provided to each site, at Screening and Week 32. Investigators will measure the longest diameter (none, >= 1 centimeter [cm] to less than [<] 2 cm, >= 2 cm to < 3, >= 3 cm) of ileum and/or colon largest open ulcer and assess mucosal healing in 4 grades compared to the baseline according to the following; Grade 0: Mucosal healing; Grade 1: marked improvement (reduction to <= 1/4); Grade 2: improvement (reduction to <= 1/2 - > 1/4); Grade 3: no change or worse (reduction less than 1/2 or expansion).
Measured: Week 32

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Infliximab in people with Behcet Disease, run by Janssen Korea, Ltd., Korea at 5 sites in South Korea.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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.
What does the primary outcome measure?
The Mean Decrease in Disease Activity Index for Intestinal Behcet's Disease (DAIBD) Score of 20 or More From Baseline at Week 8 (time frame: Baseline and Week 8). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02505568, 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 17 Oct 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
