Subcutaneous infliximab in Crohn's disease patients with previous immunogenic failure of intravenous infliximab.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeImmunogenicity is a major reason for secondary loss of response to infliximab (IFX). Recent work suggested potentially lower immunogenicity of subcutaneous (SC) compared to intravenous (IV) IFX. However, it is unknown whether re-exposure to IFX SC after secondary loss of response and immunogenicity to its intravenous formulation is safe and effective.
methodsIn a retrospective cohort study conducted at two medical centers, patients with clinically (Harvey-Bradshaw Index ≥ 5) and/or biochemically (fecal calprotectin > 250 µg/g) active Crohn's disease (CD) and previous immunogenic failure of IFX IV underwent exposure to IFX SC. Harvey-Bradshaw Index, fecal calprotectin, IFX serum concentration, and anti-drug antibodies were assessed until month 12.
resultsTwenty CD patients were included. The majority of patients (90%) had previous treatment with three or more biologics. Fifteen (75%) and ten (50%) of 20 patients continued IFX SC treatment until months 6 and 12, respectively. No immediate hypersensitivity reactions were observed. Two patients discontinued IFX SC treatment because of delayed hypersensitivity at week 2 and week 4. IFX serum concentrations increased from baseline to month 12, while anti-drug antibody levels decreased. Combined clinical and biochemical remission at month 12 was observed in seven of 20 patients (35%).
conclusionSubcutaneous infliximab treatment of Crohn's disease patients with previous immunogenic failure of intravenous infliximab was well tolerated and effective in a cohort of patients with refractory Crohn's disease.
