Subcutaneous infliximab in inflammatory bowel disease: from pharmacokinetic principles to clinical practice

Switching to subcutaneous infliximab could soon become standard care for inflammatory bowel disease, potentially improving symptom control with steadier drug levels.

INTRODUCTION: Subcutaneous infliximab (CT-P13 SC) was developed to address the pronounced peak-to-trough fluctuations of intravenous dosing and the immunogenicity driven by sub-therapeutic troughs. Within five years, fully subcutaneous pathways, immunomodulator de-escalation guided by steady-state levels, and dosing informed by individual clearance are expected to move from research questions to standard practice.
