Switching from IV to under-the-skin infliximab after dose increase
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests if switching from a high-dose infliximab IV infusion to a daily or weekly injection under the skin works just as well. It is for people with inflammatory bowel disease who are already stable on IV infliximab.

This trial tests whether people with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis who are currently well-controlled can safely use less-frequent anti-TNF medicine. It may help reduce treatment intensity while keeping inflammation under control.
This study measures how infliximab (a medicine that calms immune inflammation) moves through the body in children with Crohn’s disease. It mainly helps doctors understand dosing and drug levels, especially when treatment is newly starting.
This study looks at how well a subcutaneous (under-the-skin) form of infliximab works for people with acute severe ulcerative colitis, after they've had initial treatment with the intravenous (IV) form. It may help doctors understand if switching to injections is a good option.
This study compares intravenous (IV) and under-the-skin (subcutaneous) biologic drugs for people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It helps doctors understand if switching from the IV form to a shot is as effective and well-tolerated.
This trial tests a more precise way to start infliximab (a Crohn’s medicine) and adjust dosing based on how your body responds. It aims to better control Crohn’s inflammation early and keep it under control.
This study tests whether adjusting the dose of infliximab (a biologic medicine given by IV) based on drug levels in your blood works better for treating draining fistulas caused by Crohn's disease. It is for people who have not tried other biologics and whose fistulas have not healed with usual treatments.
