  • The inclusion criteria are adult individuals who are:
  • 1. Diagnosed to have BD by International Study Group (ISG) criteria or International Criteria for BD (ICBD);
  • 2. Have refractory disease as defined by the UK Centres of Excellence criteria (failure to respond to steroid and/or immunosuppressive therapy with significant or major organ-threatening disease) and therefore qualify for biologic therapy with either IFX or aIFN. A summary drugs pathway is attached as an appendix to the Protocol. Patients will have failed to respond to or have been intolerant of azathioprine at a dose of >2mg/kg (or comparable drug) and/or prednisolone at a dose of >40mg/day typically for more than three months, or with evidence of either organ threatening disease or unacceptable adverse events from immunosuppressive medication;
  • 3. Able to give informed consent;
  • 4. Have not previously received a biologic agent; and
  • 5. Aged over 18 years.
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range: 0
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
  • F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 100
  • F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
  • F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 0

排除标准

  • The principal exclusion criteria are adult individuals who;
  • 1. Have a contraindication to either IFX or aIFN (e.g., active infection, severe liver disease, neutropenia, previous malignancy);
  • 2. Are not likely to comply e.g., cannot attend for assessments because of excessive travel requirements;
  • 3. Express a strong preference for one of the two potential therapies.
  • 4. Have heart disease or severe heart failure.
  • 5. Have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
  • 6. Have evidence of infection with HIV.
  • 7. . a) WOCBP who are unwilling or unable to use an acceptable method to avoid pregnancy for the study duration plus 6 months.
  • b) Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • c) Sexually active fertile men not using effective birth control if their partners are WOCBP.
  • Reproductive Status of Trial Participants
  • Definition of Women of Child-Bearing Potential (WOCBP)
  • WOCBP comprises women who have experienced menarche and who have not undergone successful surgical sterilisation (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or who are not post-menopausal (see definition below).
  • Post-menopause is defined as:
  • Women who have had amenorrhea for ? 12 consecutive months (without another cause) and who have a documented serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level > 35 mIU/mL.
  • Women who have irregular menstrual periods and a documented serum FSH level > 35 mIU/mL.
  • Women who are taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
  • The following women are WOCBP:
  • Women using the following methods to prevent pregnancy: Oral contraceptives, other hormonal contraceptives (vaginal products, skin patches, or implanted or injectable products), or mechanical products such as intrauterine devices or barrier methods (diaphragm, condoms, spermicides).
  • Women who are practicing abstinence.
  • Women who have a partner who is sterile (e.g. due to vasectomy).
  • WOCBP entering the trial must:
  • Be using an acceptable method of contraception to avoid pregnancy throughout the study and for up to 6 months after the last dose of study drug in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimised. The decision about the appropriate methods to be used to prevent pregnancy should be determined by discussions with the study subject.
  • Have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test result (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG) within 0 to 72 hours before the first dose of study drug.
  • Must not be breast-feeding.
  • Sexually active fertile men entering the trial must:
  • Use effective birth control if their partners are WOCBP for the duration of the trial plus 6 months.
