About this study
Approximately 3 million people in the United States are living with inflammatory bowel disease, which includes Crohn's Disease, with many of those being young children and adolescents. Physicians need better ways to inform decisions on treatment.
The main reason for this research study is to determine if a computer program that formulates a dose based on a patient's blood testing results can better achieve the optimal drug level as compared to standard dosing.
Read the detailed description
This is a Pilot study to evaluate safety, feasibility and efficacy of utilizing pharmacokinetic modeling to provide an individualized infliximab induction regimen in children and young adults with moderate to severe Crohn's disease. This clinical study is designed with the hypothesis that treatment regimens that account for individual (patient) drug clearance (pharmacokinetic modeling) will not only be safe and cost-effective, but also more effective in reducing intestinal inflammation than as-labeled dosing (ALD) regimens.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
RoadMAB precision dashboardDevice
The RoadMAB Dashboard is a real-time decision support system that incorporates PK model-informed Bayesian estimation to provide precision dosing at the point of care.
Infliximab precision dosingDrug
The trial is testing whether precision dosing can more reliably achieve the targeted trough concentrations compared to standard dosing
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Interventional arm with precision dosing | Experimental | The intervention includes utilizing Clinical and Patient Decision Support Software (RoadMABTM) that will guide the selection of the first infliximab dose followed by subsequent infliximab dose and dosing interval during the maintenance phase. During induction, three infusions will occur at 0, 2 and 6 weeks, respectively. The RoadMABTM dashboard will utilize PK modeling software to provide an infliximab starting dose recommendation (range of 5-12 mg/kg) based on the patients biochemical profile. As noted, dosing frequency (weeks) during induction will not be altered during this study. Following the first three doses, the clinician will be informed of their patients PK profile within the RoadMABTM program and with a shared document (paper). RoadMABTM will provide additional dosing recommendations after each infusion (based on the latest drug concentration measures and blood biomarkers) with the final dose and interval selected by the treating physician.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing RoadMAB precision dashboard and Infliximab precision dosing in people with Crohn Disease, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati at 1 site in United States.
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 10 inclusion and 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 combined phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Mar 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Obtain Safety Data for Optimal Dosing Strategy and Sample Size Estimation (time frame: 10 months). The study lists 7 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?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Mar 2026.
