Abstract
Targeting patients' infliximab TCs to 3-7 μg/mL results in a more efficient use of the drug. After dose optimization, continued concentration-based dosing was not superior to clinically based dosing for achieving remission after 1 year, but was associated with fewer flares during the course of treatment. ClinicalTrialsRegister.eu number: 2011-002061-38.
