Effect of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring vs Standard Therapy During Maintenance Infliximab Therapy on Disease Control in Patients With Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases

Abstract

Key PointsQuestionAmong patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases undergoing maintenance therapy with infliximab, is proactive therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) more effective than standard therapy to sustain disease control without disease worsening? FindingsIn this randomized clinical trial that included 458 patients, the proportion of patients with sustained disease control without disease worsening during 52 weeks of follow-up was 74% in the TDM group and 56% in the standard therapy group, a statistically significant difference. MeaningProactive TDM compared with treatment without TDM during maintenance infliximab therapy was more likely to lead to sustained disease control over 52 weeks for patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.
