Subcutaneous infliximab in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease: Sustained remission, predictable pharmacokinetics, and real-world US implementation.
Journal of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition

Subcutaneous infliximab in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease: Sustained remission, predictable pharmacokinetics, and real-world US implementation.

Subcutaneous infliximab could offer children with IBD a more convenient dosing route with higher, steadier drug levels while maintaining remission. Insurance and labeling barriers affected access in this US cohort.

Proactive therapeutic drug monitoring of infliximab leads to treatment durability in paediatric Crohn's disease: A single‐centre Australian experience

Proactive TDM of infliximab was associated with high 1‑ and 2‑year durability in this pediatric Crohn's cohort, and the study flags clinical factors that may predict need to switch biologics. This could be relevant when...
