Perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease increases infliximab clearance and causes low infliximab exposure (ATLANTIC).
Journal of Crohn's & colitis

Perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease increases infliximab clearance and causes low infliximab exposure (ATLANTIC).

If you have Crohn’s disease with perianal fistulas and are treated with infliximab, this study suggests the drug is cleared faster and trough levels are often lower after standard dosing — which may mean you need higher...

Long-term comparative effectiveness of first-line infliximab vs corticosteroids in ulcerative colitis: Remission and colectomy risk

The study suggests that using infliximab as first-line therapy (rather than IV corticosteroids) may produce more durable remission and reduce long-term colectomy risk in moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis.
