Could a 30-Minute infusion be as safe as an hour for kids with IBD?
NCT ID NCT06839820
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares giving the drug infliximab over 30 minutes versus the standard 60 minutes in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The goal is to see if the shorter infusion causes just as few allergic reactions and improves patient and nurse satisfaction. Sixty children aged 1-17 who have already had at least 5 infliximab infusions will each receive 8 infusions, alternating between the two speeds.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- infliximab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could allow children with IBD to receive infliximab infusions in half the usual time, reducing clinic visits and improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants. Faster infusions may still cause more allergic reactions, and results may not apply to all patients.
