BACKGROUND: We aimed to clarify the efficacy, safety, and factors associated with remission on dose escalation in patients with Crohn's disease showing loss of response (LOR) to infliximab treatment of 5 mg/kg at 8-week intervals in a clinical trial.
METHODS: Thirty-nine patients with LOR to 5 mg/kg infliximab therapy started treatment with 10 mg/kg per 8 weeks. LOR was defined as both a Crohn's Disease Activity Index of ≥175 at 8 weeks after infusion of 5 mg/kg infliximab and a Crohn's Disease Activity Index increase of ≥50 from 4 to 8 weeks after infusion.
RESULTS: At week 8 after the first infusion of 10 mg/kg, median (95% confidence interval) reduction in Crohn's Disease Activity Index of 33 patients evaluated was 95.0 (70.0-134.0), meeting the primary endpoint. Remission rate at week 40 was 41% (16 of 39), with correlation noted between remission achievement and serum infliximab level (P = 0.036). Univariate analysis revealed that "infliximab trough level ≥1 µg/mL," "interleukin 6 level ≤2.41 pg/mL," and "albumin level ≥3.8 g/dL" before dose escalation were significantly associated with remission at week 40 (P = 0.017, P = 0.011, and P = 0.019, respectively), and these variables were correlated with each other (all: P < 0.001). The cutoff infliximab level for remission was 0.42 µg/mL in receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. No adverse events related to dose escalation were observed.
CONCLUSIONS: Doubling the infliximab dose safely led to remission in patients with Crohn's disease with LOR to 5 mg/kg treatment. Remission was associated with pre-escalation levels of infliximab, interleukin 6, and albumin. Our findings suggest that dose escalation while maintaining a certain level of infliximab is important in achieving remission.
