Abstract

Infliximab (REMICADE®, Centocor), a chimeric anti-TNFα monoclonal antibody, has been used in the management of patients with steroid-refractory acute GVHD. Though preliminary results using infliximab have been encouraging, the pharmacokinetics (Pk) of infliximab in this clinical setting have yet to be defined. A prospective trial examining the Pk of infliximab in pediatric patients with gastrointestinal (GI) GVHD was undertaken. Five subjects (median 11 yrs, range 9 mo–17 yrs) with GI GVHD were enrolled.
