Project title: Identifying optimal thresholds and personalized dosing regimens of infliximab to maximize endoscopic remission rates in patients with ulcerative colitis
Dr. Vande Casteele’s research project is all about determining the right drug for the right patient at the right time using the right dose. By studying optimal thresholds and personalized dosing regimens of infliximab, Dr. Vande Casteele will build the basis for exposure-based dosing regimens that can be applied to other anti-TNF antibodies and antibodies with other targets used in the treatment of patients with IBD, as well as other chronic inflammatory diseases and/or oncology. Dr. Vande Casteele’s goal is for his work to have a direct impact on patients by allowing us to achieve better treatment outcomes with minimal side effects.
