IBD Disease Course of Infliximab-naïve IBD Patients Treated With Subcutaneous Infliximab CT-P13 Remsima®

CURRENT STATE OF KNOWLEDGE IN VIEW OF THE RESEARCH About the condition under investigation Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are chronic diseases characterized by relapsing and remitting episodes. About comparator strategies/procedures Infliximab in its Intravenous (IV) form was the first biotherapy to be approved to treat IBD. Biosimilars of intravenous (IV) infliximab have been shown to be non-inferior to the reference product in patients with IBD, to induce and maintain clinical response Recently, the subcutaneous (SC) formulation of the infliximab biosimilar CT-P13 (CT-P13 SC) has been shown to be non-inferior on CT-P13 concentration at week 22 to the IV formulation of CT-P13 (CT-P13 IV). These results were based on 66 patients treated with CT-P13 SC, and larger studies are needed to better assess IBD disease course of patients treated with CT-P13 SC in real-life setting.
