Phase 4: testing TNFa Antagonist - Infliximab for Crohn Disease

There are currently three classes of biologic treatments approved in Canada for the management of moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease: anti-tumor necrosis factor \[TNF\] alpha, anti-integrin, and anti-interleukin \[IL\]-23 targeted agents. The purpose of this trial is to determine which of these three classes of biologics results in the highest percentage of patients with small bowel (ileal) Crohn's disease entering into endoscopic remission without needing corticosteroids at 1 year.

Official registry: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05928039 · University of Calgary · enrollment listed as 210

What this phase means

Phase 4: the treatment is already approved. This study asks new questions — longer-term effects, other diseases, or how it compares in everyday care.

Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.

What the registry says happens

If you join, the listed intervention(s) are TNFa Antagonist - Infliximab, TNFa Antagonist - Adalimumab, or Anti-IL12/23 or anti-IL23 - Ustekinumab. The registry lists allocation as randomized. There are currently three classes of biologic treatments approved in Canada for the management of moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease: anti-tumor necrosis factor \[TNF\] alpha, anti-integrin, and anti-interleukin \[IL\]-23 targeted agents.

They plan to enroll about 210 people at 23 sites. Taking part typically means an infusion or injection of a biologic plus check-ins.
