Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether trough serum infliximab concentrations at the time of loss of clinical response will identify pediatric participants with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who would benefit (regain clinical response) from dose escalation above the currently approved dose [5 milligram (mg)/kilogram (kg) every 8 weeks (q8wk)] and the safety of that dose escalation.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 4

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter (when more than one hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study), prospective (study following participants forward in time), open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention) study of infliximab in pediatric participants with inflammatory bowel disease. The study consists of 3 Phases: screening Phase (up to 4 weeks), open-label treatment Phase (56 weeks) and follow up safety Phase (8 weeks). The duration of participation in the study for each participant is approximately up to 68 weeks (including screening period). Participants' efficacy and safety outcomes will be monitored throughout the study.

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Clinical Response at Week 16 After Dose Escalation as Evaluated by Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index (PCDAI) in Crohn's Disease (CD) Participants [Week 16]

      Clinical response was defined as Crohn's disease (CD) participants with decrease from baseline in PCDAI of greater than or equal to (>=) 15 points with total score of less than or equal to (<=) 30 points. PCDAI includes three history items (abdominal pain, number of liquid stools, general wellbeing), five physical examination items (abdominal examination, perirectal disease, extraintestinal manifestations, weight, height), and three laboratory tests (hematocrit, albumin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate). Items are scored on a three-point scale (zero, 5, or 10 points) except for hematocrit and erythrocyte sedimentation rate which are scored as zero, 2.5 or 5 points. PCDAI scores can range from zero to 125 with higher scores indicating more active disease. Data for this OM was planned to be analyzed for Dose escalation (DE) group only.

    2. Clinical Response at Week 16 After Dose Escalation as Evaluated by Mayo Score in Ulcerative Colitis (UC) Participants [Week 16]

      Clinical Response as per Mayo score was defined as decrease from baseline in partial Mayo score of >= 2 points and >= 30 percent (%) and decrease in rectal bleeding sub-score by >= 1 point or achievement of an absolute sub-score of less than or equal to (<=) 1 point (for UC participants). A Partial Mayo Score which is Mayo score without endoscopy ranges from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 9 (severe disease) and calculated as the sum of 3 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding and physician's global assessment [PGA]) with each ranging from 0 to 3 (0=normal, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe). Data for this OM was planned to be analyzed for the DE group only.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Sustained Clinical Response Through 56 Weeks After Dose Escalation [Up to Week 56]

      Sustained clinical response at Week 56 was defined as achieving clinical response per the primary OM definitions at Week 16 and maintaining clinical response at 1 year after dose escalation (Week 56). Clinical response was defined as a decrease from baseline in PCDAI of >= 15 points with total score of =< 30 points (for CD participants) and a decrease from baseline in partial Mayo score of >=2 points and >=30% and a decrease in rectal bleeding sub-score by >= 1 point or achievement of an absolute sub-score of =< point (for UC participants). Data for this OM was planned to be analyzed for the DE group only.

    2. Change From Baseline in Abdominal Pain and Loose/Watery Stool Frequency Sub-scores of the PCDAI at Week 16 and Week 56 in CD Participants [Baseline, Week 16 and Week 56]

      Abdominal and loose/watery stool frequency was evaluated by using the relevant sub-scores of the PCDAI. PCDAI includes three history items (abdominal pain, number of liquid stools, general wellbeing), five physical examination items (abdominal examination, perirectal disease, extraintestinal manifestations, weight, height), and three laboratory tests (hematocrit, albumin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate). Items are scored on a three-point scale (zero, 5, or 10 points) except for hematocrit and erythrocyte sedimentation rate which are scored as zero, 2.5 or 5 points. PCDAI scores can range from zero to 125 with higher scores indicating more active disease. Data for this OM was planned to be analyzed for the DE group only.

    3. Change From Baseline in Abdominal Pain Using the Wong-Baker FACES Scale at Week 16 and Week 56 in CD Participants [Baseline, Week 16 and Week 56]

      Change from baseline in abdominal pain using the Wong-Baker FACES scale at Week 16 and Week 56 in CD participants was reported. The Wong-Baker FACES Pain Scale is a pain scale that combines pictures and numbers to allow pain to be rated by children over the age of 3. The scale shows a series of faces ranging from a happy face at 0, "No hurt" to a crying face at 10 "Hurts worst". The participant must choose the face that best describes how they are feeling. Data for this OM was planned to be analyzed for the DE group only.

    4. Change From Baseline in Absolute Stool Frequency Based on PCDAI Score at Week 16 and Week 56 in CD Participants [Baseline, Week 16 and Week 56]

      Change from baseline in Absolute stool frequency at Week 16 and Week 56 in CD participants were reported. PCDAI includes three history items (abdominal pain, number of liquid stools, general wellbeing), five physical examination items (abdominal examination, perirectal disease, extraintestinal manifestations, weight, height), and three laboratory tests (hematocrit, albumin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate). Items are scored on a three-point scale (zero, 5, or 10 points) except for hematocrit and erythrocyte sedimentation rate which are scored as zero, 2.5 or 5 points. PCDAI scores can range from zero to 125 with higher scores indicating more active disease. An absolute stool frequency subscore of =<1 point was indicative of mild disease. Data for this OM was planned to be analyzed for the DE group only.

    5. Change From Baseline in Stool Frequency Sub-Score of the Partial Mayo Score at Week 16 and Week 56 in UC Participants [Baseline, Week 16 and Week 56]

      Change from baseline in Stool frequency sub-score of the partial Mayo score at Week 16 and Week 56 in UC participants were reported. A Partial Mayo Score which is Mayo score without endoscopy ranges from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 9 (severe disease) and calculated as the sum of 3 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding and PGA) with each ranging from 0 to 3 (0=normal, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe). An absolute stool frequency subscore of <=1 point was indicative of mild disease. Higher scores indicate more severe disease. Data for this OM was planned to be analyzed for the DE group only.

    6. Change From Baseline in Rectal Bleeding Sub-Scores of the Partial Mayo Score at Week 16 and Week 56 in UC Participants [Baseline, Week 16 and Week 56]

      Change from baseline in absolute stool frequency at Week 16 and Week 56 in UC participants were reported. Data for this OM was planned to be analyzed for the DE group only.

    9. Correlation of Wong-Baker FACES Scale With Clinical Remission and Response at Week 16 [Week 16]

      The Wong-Baker FACES Pain Scale is a pain scale that combines pictures and numbers to allow pain to be rated by children over the age of 3. The scale shows a series of faces ranging from a happy face at 0, "No hurt" to a crying face at 10 "Hurts worst". Data for this OM was planned to be analyzed for the DE group only. Statistical test of the hypothesis (regression model) was not performed due to insufficient data being collected to permit analysis.

    10. Relationship Between Abdominal Pain PCDAI Sub-Score And the Wong-Baker Faces Scale For CD Participants [Week 16 and 56]

      PCDAI is validated clinical tool used to assess disease severity in pediatric CD participants. PCDAI collects information on disease-related variables:Total number of liquid stools, abdominal pain, and general well-being (scored by participants or participant's legal representative);Extra-intestinal manifestations;Physical examinations of abdominal mass, perirectal disease;Weight change, height change or, height velocity;Hematocrit;erythrocyte sedimentation rate; albumin. PCDAI score is calculated as sum of individual component scores and ranges from 0-100 points.

PCDAI includes three history items (abdominal pain, number of liquid stools, general wellbeing), five physical examination items (abdominal examination, perirectal disease, extraintestinal manifestations, weight, height), and three laboratory tests (hematocrit, albumin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate). Items are scored on a three-point scale (zero, 5, or 10 points) except for hematocrit and erythrocyte sedimentation rate which are scored as zero, 2.5 or 5 points. PCDAI scores can range from zero to 125 with higher scores indicating more active disease. An absolute stool frequency subscore of =<1 point was indicative of mild disease. Data for this OM was planned to be analyzed for the DE group only.
