About this study

The primary purpose of the project is to determine what is the best schedule for restarting infliximab in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) specifically ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, who have undergone infliximab infusions before. The primary endpoint would be the failure rate; the need to discontinue infliximab or change treatment. A secondary aim will be to determine if infliximab drug and antibody levels can predict clinical outcomes at 1 year. Other secondary outcomes include comparing short-term and long-term steroid free remission rate, and serum and fecal inflammatory markers in response to infliximab.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Infliximab at weeks 0,2, and 6Drug

  • Infliximab at weeks 0,4, and 8Drug

  • Infliximab at weeks 0 and 8Drug

    For physicians who do not feel comfortable enrolling patients in a randomized trial of infliximab re-induction they will have the option of enrolling their patients in an arm that resumes maintenance therapy only instead at 0 and 8 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Failure Rate

    Defined by the number of patients who discontinued or are adjusting their dosage of Infliximab.

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Short-term clinical response

    The physician will determine the presence or absence of IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) using his clinical judgement based on clinical disease indices and serum inflammatory biomarkers.

    Measured: One year

  2. Long-term clinical response

    The physician will determine the presence or absence of IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) using his clinical judgement based on clinical disease indices and serum inflammatory biomarkers.

    Measured: One year

  3. Short-term changes in patient Quality of Life

    This will be measured by the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ)

    Measured: One Year

  4. Long-term changes in patient Quality of Life

    This will be measured by the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ)

    Measured: One Year

  5. Fecal calprotectin measurements

    This will be measured by ELISA kits

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Infliximab at weeks 0,2, and 6, Infliximab at weeks 0,4, and 8 and Infliximab at weeks 0 and 8 in people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, run by NYU Langone Health.

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 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Failure Rate (time frame: One year). 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 30 Jun 2016.
