Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a blistering disease in which TNF-α has a role in the pathogenesis. The objective was to evaluate the safety of infliximab (IFX) with prednisone compared to prednisone alone in the treatment of PV. In addition, treatment response was assessed and mechanistic studies were performed. PV subjects who had ongoing disease activity while maintained on prednisone were randomized to receive either IFX or placebo in addition to prednisone. Response status and IgG anti-DSG1 and DSG3 antibodies were assessed at 18 and 26 weeks. . 10 subjects were randomized to each group. There were no safety signals during the course of the study. At week 18, 1 subject in each group had responded. At week 26, 3 IFX treated subjects vs. none in the placebo group had responded (p =0 .21). At weeks 18 and 26, the median IgG anti-DSG1 and anti-DSG3 levels were lower in the IFX treated-patients (IgG anti DSG-1: week 18 p =0.035, week 26 p = 0.022; IgG anti-DSG3; week 18 p=0.035, week 26 p = 0.05)). This study is limited by the relative small sample size. There was no significant difference between study arms in the proportion of subjects with treatment-related Adverse Events > Grade 3. IFX therapy was not shown to be effective for the treatment of patients with PV in this randomized, placebo-controlled trial, although IFX treatment may be associated with a decrease in anti-DSG1 and DSG3 antibodies.
