Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Antibodies to infliximab (ATIs) are associated with loss of response in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We aimed to describe the effectiveness of strategies for treatment modification following ATI development in pediatric IBD: (1) treatment escalation; and (2) switching to another anti-TNF agent.
