Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Moderate-to-severe active Crohn`s disease.
MedDRA version: 9.1 Level: LLT Classification code 10011398 Term: Crohn's
Intervention(s)

Trade Name: REMICADE
Pharmaceutical Form: Powder and solvent for solution for infusion
INN or Proposed INN: INFLIXIMAB
Concentration unit: mg milligram(s)
Concentration type: equal
Concentration number: 100-

Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: The proportion of patients with both clinical remission and intestinal mucosa healing (as documented by endoscopy and histology) at the end of the induction phase, as well as at the end of maintaining remission phase
Secondary Objective: the mean changes in clinical and laboratory indexes of disease activity, the mean change in anthropometric parameters, the safety profile and the costs of the two
treatment regimens, and finally, changes in the intestinal mucosa expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Primary end point(s): The study aims at comparing the efficacy of nutritional therapy alone (a polymeric formula given orally,
without adding any drug) with biological therapy (intravenous infusions of a chimeric monoclonal antibody anti-TNFalpha) in inducing and maintaining remission in children with moderate-to-severe active Crohn`s
disease (CD).
