BACKGROUND: Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease, with infliximab (IFX) commonly used for treatment. However, no clinically applicable model currently exists to predict the response of patients with CD to IFX therapy. Given th...

OBJECTIVES: While higher infliximab (IFX) trough concentrations (TCs) are associated with better outcomes in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), they could pose a risk for adverse events (AEs), including IFX-induced skin lesions. Therefor...

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...
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) can be damaged during the aseptic compounding process, with aggregation being the most prevalent form of degradation. Protein aggregates represent one of several risk factors for undesired immunogenicity of mAbs, which ca...
Infliximab (IFX) is an effective medication for ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. However, one-third of UC patients show primary non-response (PNR) to IFX. Our study analyzed three Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets and used the RobustRankAggreg ...
Recombinant DNA technology has, in the last decades, contributed to a vast expansion of the use of protein drugs as pharmaceutical agents. However, such biological drugs can lead to the formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) that may result in adve...

OBJECTIVE: Accurate prediction of treatment responses in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients can provide valuable information on effective drug selection. Anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) drugs are an important second-line treatment after methotr...
Up to 50% of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) experience a loss of response (LOR) to infliximab after an initial response to the drug. Granulocyte/monocyte apheresis (GMA) with the Adacolumn depletes the activated myeloid...
