Celltrion presents 2-year post-hoc analysis findings for subcutaneous infliximab
South Korea-based biosimilar drug developer Celltrion (Kosdaq: 068270) today announced two-year results of subcutaneous infliximab (CT-P13 SC) dose escalation therapy at United European Gastroenterology (UEG) Week 2024 in Vienna, Austria.
The post-hoc analysis from the LIBERTY-CD (Crohn’s disease) and LIBERTY-UC (ulcerative colitis) studies suggest that dose escalation of CT-P13 SC following intravenous (IV) induction in patients who initially respond but subsequently lose response, showed clinical efficacy over an extended period of 102 weeks.
In the study, patients showed improvement in clinical remission at Week 102 [70.3% (26/37) in CD and 35.2% (25/71) in UC] or endoscopic response [40.5% (15/37) in CD] after dose escalation. Compared to the first dose escalation visit, patients who escalated the dose had a statistically significant reduction in mean modified Mayo score in UC (5.9 vs 2.1, P<0.0001) and mean CDAI score in CD (270.58 vs 76.31, P<0.0001) at Week 102.
