Mucosal gene signatures to predict response to infliximab in patients with ulcerative colitis
20 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Infliximab is an effective treatment for ulcerative colitis with over 60% of patients responding to treatment and up to 30% reaching remission. The mechanism of resistance to anti-tumour necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNFalpha) is unknown. This study used colonic mucosal gene expression to provide a predictive response signature for infliximab treatment in ulcerative colitis. METHODS: Two...
