About this study

Official title: Precise Infliximab Exposure and Pharmacodynamic Control to Achieve Deep Remission in Pediatric Crohn's Disease

Approximately 3 million people in the United States are living with inflammatory bowel disease, which includes Crohn's Disease (CD). There are limited treatment options approved for use in children and adults with Crohn's disease. Physicians need better ways to inform decisions on treatment.

The main reason for this research study is to determine if a computer program that calculates an individualized dose based on a patient's blood testing results (precision dosing) can better achieve the best possible response to infliximab compared to standard dosing (conventional dosing).

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, cluster randomized clinical trial to test whether precision infliximab dosing with a targeted concentration intervention is superior in achieving deep remission (endoscopic healing and clinical remission) compared to patients receiving conventional infliximab dosing.

With recognition that CD patients who achieve the "target" of deep remission with anti-TNF dose optimizations following pharmacodynamic monitoring had a significant reduction in CD-related adverse events, our central hypothesis is precision dosing with infliximab during induction and maintenance will achieve superior rates of deep remission vs. conventional care (control arm)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RoadMABDevice

    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.

  • InfliximabDrug

    Also called Avsola, Inflectra, Ixifi, Remicade

    Conventional dosing. Induction: 5-7.5 mg/kg at 0, 2, and 6 weeks. Maintenance: 5-10 mg/kg at every 4-8 weeks based on results of drug concentration monitoring for a flat target of 5-10 μg/mL.

    Precision dosing. Induction: 5-12.5 mg/kg at 0, 2, and 6 weeks to target a week6 concentration of 18-24 μg/mL with dosing support provided by the RoadMABTM clinical decision support tool. Maintenance: 5-15 mg/kg every 4-8 weeks to achieve apriori pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic targets (CRP, disease activity scores and fecal calprotectin) with dosing support provided by the RoadMABTM clinical decision support tool.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing RoadMAB and Infliximab in people with Crohn Disease, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati at 11 sites 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 9 inclusion and 18 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Phillip Minar, MD, MS (513-636-4415, phillip.minar@cchmc.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of Deep Remission (time frame: Week 52). 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 NCT05660746, 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 5 May 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 3 Nov 2026.
