Phase 3 โ Testing in thousands of people, comparing the treatment against what doctors currently use. This is the last big step before approval.
This study is testing a medication called infliximab, given as a subcutaneous injection (under the skin), for people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease. Researchers want to see whether the medication works better when you take it by itself, or when you combine it with other immunosuppressive medications. The trial will measure success by checking whether patients achieve remission (symptom relief) and healing of the bowel lining.
Crohn's disease is a serious condition that causes inflammation in the digestive tract, and some patients don't respond well to currently available treatments or cannot tolerate them. This trial is exploring whether combining this medication with other drugs might be more effective than using it alone, and whether the subcutaneous (under-the-skin) form of delivery works well for newly diagnosed or treatment-resistant patients.

Over 26 weeks (about 6 months), you will receive regular subcutaneous injections of the medication at your study visits. Depending on which group you are randomly assigned to, you will receive either the medication alone, or the medication combined with oral immunosuppressive drugs. You will be asked to taper off certain steroids after the first two weeks of treatment. Throughout the study, your doctors will monitor your symptoms, blood work, and bowel healing using imaging and endoscopy (a camera test), and you may need to visit the clinic multiple times to receive injections and have tests done.
