Coverage Guidance

Infliximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) and blocks its activity.

What is Infliximab used for?

Infliximab is a genetically engineered chimeric human/mouse monoclonal antibody (cA2) against tumor necrosis factor alfa (TNF-alfa), a key mediator of mucosal inflammation. Increased levels of TNF-alfa are found in the intestinal mucosa and stool of patients with active Crohn's disease and in the joints of rheumatoid arthritis patients. Elevated TNF-alfa concentrations are also involved in ulcerative colitis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and plaque psoriasis. TNF-alfa activity is neutralized by cA2 antibody binding to the soluble and transmembrane forms which blocks the binding of TNF-alfa with its receptors. Activities inhibited by anti-TNF-alfa antibodies include induction of interleukins, enhancement of leukocyte migration, and expression of adhesion molecules. In vitro studies have demonstrated that cells expressing transmembrane TNF-alfa bound by infliximab are lysed by complement or effector cells. In animal models, antibodies to TNF-alfa were shown to prevent or reduce inflammation.1

Does Medicare cover Remicade?

Is Infliximab a placebo?

The safety and efficacy of infliximab was assessed in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies in 728 patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) with an inadequate response to conventional oral therapies.1 ,28 Concomitant treatment with stable doses of aminosalicylates, corticosteroids and/or immunomodulatory agents was permitted. Corticosteroid taper was permitted after week 8. In both studies, patients were randomized to receive either placebo, 5 mg/kg infliximab or 10 mg/kg infliximab at weeks 0, 2, 6, 14, and 22.

Is infliximab safe for Crohn's disease?

The safety and efficacy of infliximab in Crohn's disease was assessed in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose ranging study of 108 patients with moderate to severe active Crohn's disease.9 All patients had experienced an inadequate response to prior conventional therapies, including corticosteroids, 5-aminosalicylates (5-ASA) and/or 6-mercaptopurine/azathioprine (6-MP/AZA). Concurrent use of stable dose regimens of corticosteroids, 5-ASA, 6-MP and or AZA was permitted during the study. Initially, patients were randomized to receive a single intravenous dose of placebo, or 5, 10, or 20 mg/kg of infliximab. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who experienced a clinical response, defined as a decrease in Crohn's disease Activity Index (CDAI) by > 70 points from baseline at the 4-week evaluation without an increase in Crohn's disease medications or surgery. Patients who responded at week 4 were followed to week 12. Secondary endpoints included the proportion of patients who were in clinical remission at week 4, and clinical response over time. At week 4, four of twenty-five (17%) of the placebo patients achieved a clinical response vs. twenty-two of twenty-seven (81%) of the patients receiving 5 mg/kg infliximab (p<0.001). One of twenty-five (4%) placebo patients and thirteen of twenty-seven (48%) patients receiving 5 mg/kg infliximab achieved a CDAI < 150 (scores below 150 indicate remission) at week 4 (p<0.001). The proportion of patients responding gradually diminished over the 12 weeks of the evaluation period. There was no evidence of a dose response; doses higher than 5 mg/kg did not result in a greater proportion of responders. During the 12-week period following infusion, patients treated with infliximab compared to placebo demonstrated improvement in outcomes measured by the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (32 vs. 5, p=0.001). In the second phase, 29 patients who did not respond to the single dose of 5, 10, or 20 mg/kg of infliximab and 19 patients who initially received placebo entered the open label phase. All patients received a single 10 mg/kg dose of infliximab 4 weeks after the initial dose. Ten of twenty-nine (34%) patients who received infliximab initially vs. 11 of 19 (58%) who received placebo initially experienced a response 4 weeks after receiving open label infliximab (p=0.014).

Is infliximab safe with methotrexate?

The safety and efficacy of infliximab when given in conjunction with methotrexate (MTX) were assess ed in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 428 patients with active rheumatoid arthritis despite treatment with MTX.29 All patients received MTX for greater than or equal to 6 months and were on a stable dose of at least 12.5 mg/week for 4 weeks prior to study entry. All patients continued their stable dose of MTX and folic acid. Patients were randomized to received placebo, 3 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg of infliximab by intravenous infusion at weeks 0, 2 and 6 followed by additional infusions every four or eight weeks thereafter. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients at week 54 who attained an improvement in signs and symptoms as measured by the American College of Rheumatology criteria, (ACR 20). At week 54, 42/86 (49%) of patients treated every 8 weeks with 3 mg/kg of infliximab plus MTX attained an ACR 20 compared with 17/88 (19%) of patients treated with placebo plus MTX
