Background:To assess infliximab pharmacokinetics in pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC).Methods:This phase 3, randomized, open-label multicenter study enrolled 60 children (6-17 yr) with moderate-to-severely active UC (Mayo score, 6-12; endoscopic subscore, 2), despite conventional therapy. Patients received infliximab 5-mg/kg induction infusions at weeks 0, 2, and 6. Week 8 clinical responders (n = 45) were randomized to infliximab 5 mg/kg given every 8 weeks (q8w) through week 46 or every 12 weeks (q12w) through week 42. Patients losing response during maintenance infliximab were eligible to increase the dose (510 mg/kg) and/or shorten the dosing interval (q12wq8w). Blood samples were collected for infliximab concentration and pharmacokinetic determinations.Results:Infliximab pharmacokinetics were not influenced by age (6-11 yr versus 12-17 yr), baseline immunomodulator use, or the extent of UC. At week 8, higher serum infliximab concentrations (41.1 g/mL) were associated with greater proportions of patients achieving efficacy endpoints (clinical response, 92.9%; mucosal healing, 92.9%; and clinical remission, 64.3%) versus those with lower serum concentrations (
