Background: Antibodies to infliximab (ATIs) are associated with secondary loss of response (LOR) and can constitute a risk for drug reactions. Limited studies have associated ATIs with increased infliximab clearance. We aimed to assess the impact of ATIs on infliximab clearance and LoR during the first year of therapy in a real-world Crohn disease (CD) cohort. Methods: This multicenter prospective cohort collected peak and trough serum infliximab/ATI concentrations during the first year of infliximab therapy. Clinical remission (CR) was defined as a weighted Pediatric CD Activity Index (wPCDAI) <12.5 without corticosteroids. LoR was defined as wPCDAI =12.5 for =2 infusions when previously in CR. Infliximab clearance was estimated using data from 660 infusions and compared between pre-ATI, during ATI, and following ATI resolution by MANOVA. Optimal cut off for ATI resolution was determined by receiver operating characteristic curves. Results: ATIs were detected in 68% (53/78) patients (range of 23-1828 ng/mL), with 26% (14/53) ATI >200 ng/mL. Median clearance in ATI+ was 0.0111 L/h compared to 0.0094 L/h with absent ATI (p<0.001). Among ATI+ patients, those with LoR had accelerated CL compared to patients without LoR (0.0145L/h vs. 0.0100L/h; p<0.001). A maximum ATI level of =99 ng/mL predicted ATI resolution (AUROC 0.80 [95% CI 0.64-0.96]; sensitivity 75%; specificity 70%). Conclusions: In this real-world cohort, ATIs as low as 23 ng/mL were shown to impact drug clearance. These data support active management for even low-level ATI to improve infliximab clearance and prevent LOR.
