Cure8 trial brief
Why This Matters
This trial studies adalimumab safety and pediatric dosing in children with moderate–severe Crohn's disease, which is directly relevant to families and clinicians considering anti-TNF therapy for pediatric IBD.
Who Should Pay Attention
Pediatric patients with Crohn's disease and their caregivers, pediatric gastroenterologists, and researchers studying pediatric IBD treatments and drug safety.
Study Snapshot
What To Know
A Phase 4 interventional trial is recruiting in China to evaluate Taibowei® (adalimumab) injections in children aged 6–17 with moderate to severe Crohn's disease. The study plans to enroll about 30 pediatric patients and focuses on safety outcomes (AEs, ADRs, AESIs, and serious ADRs) at 12, 26, and 52 weeks after treatment.
Dosing follows weight-based pediatric regimens (loading doses then maintenance every 2 weeks) with the option to increase frequency to weekly based on therapeutic drug monitoring and/or clinical response. The protocol requires prior prescription of adalimumab by the treating physician and excludes recent live-vaccine recipients and those in other trials.
The trial is listed as Phase 4 and recruiting at Guangzhou Medical University (Women and Children's Medical Center), China. This record is a trial registry entry describing planned safety monitoring and dosing; it does not report trial results.
Keep In Mind
This is a registry entry (Phase 4, interventional) describing a planned study and safety outcomes; it does not present efficacy or safety results. The study is small (planned n=30) and located in China. Therapeutic drug monitoring is mentioned as a reason to escalate dosing frequency, but the record itself is a protocol, not an analysis of outcomes.
