Who might be able to join this trial:
- You are between 14 and 80 years old.
- You have been formally diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) based on thorough testing, including blood tests, imaging, scopes, and tissue samples, with other causes of bowel inflammation ruled out.
- Your Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis is rated as moderate to severe, based on specific scoring tools used by your doctor (the exact score required depends on your age and condition type — confirm with trial site).
- You are not currently taking immunosuppressant medicines (such as azathioprine) and do not plan to start any within the next two months.
- You are currently taking a low dose of steroid medication (no more than 10 tablets) and have a clear plan to gradually stop taking steroids completely within the next two months.
- You are due to receive your first dose of infliximab (a biologic medicine) within the next two weeks.
Who may not be able to join:
- Your doctor believes your condition is severe enough that you may need a change or increase in biologic treatment, or surgery, within the next two months — for example, if you have significant narrowing, tearing, or tunnelling of the bowel causing blockage, bleeding, or infection.
- You have a history of a reaction during an infusion (drip) of any biologic medicine, or you have had allergic reactions to medicines such as penicillin, certain antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkillers, or contrast dye used in scans.
- You have a known food allergy, or a past history of asthma or hives (urticaria).
- You regularly take daily antihistamine (anti-allergy) medicines such as loratadine, cetirizine, or similar drugs.
- You have certain conditions that make biologic medicines less safe, such as active tuberculosis (TB), a strongly positive TB skin or blood test, or a history of heart attack, heart failure, or certain nerve diseases in the past 5 years (confirm with trial site).
- You have certain conditions that make steroid medicines less safe, such as active TB, serious infection, or stomach/gut ulcers.
- You currently have or have previously had certain cancers, including solid tumours, lymphoma, or melanoma, or you are currently receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
- You have serious complications such as heavy gut bleeding, severe liver or kidney problems, active bacterial or viral infection, shock, uncontrollable vomiting, or severe difficulty absorbing nutrients.
- You have a psychiatric condition or difficulty understanding the study information fully.
- You are currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Your condition is rapidly worsening, in a final stage, or your vital signs (such as blood pressure and heart rate) are seriously unstable.
