NCT03765450
Brief Summary:
This is an open-label, prospective, observational study with the primary objective to characterize the pharmacokinetics of infliximab in patients with Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis.
Detailed Description:
In Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis (ASUC), drug exposure may be affected by intestinal protein loss leading to hypoalbuminemia and rapid clearance of infliximab (IFX). Importantly, 2 studies have associated the loss of IFX in stool with poor outcomes. Multiple observational studies have identified that patients with faster IFX clearance have worse clinical outcomes and higher rates of antidrug antibody formation. To better understand optimal dosing of IFX in ASUC, the pharmacokinetics of IFX in association with outcomes must be better defined in this setting.
