Official Title
Infliximab for Kawasaki Disease Patients Resistant to Intravenous Immunoglobulin : a Multicentre, Prospective, Randomised Trial
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of infliximab to the children who don't respond to the first dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) (2g/kg) in Kawasaki disease.
Detailed Description
Kawasaki disease(KD), the most common cause of acquired heart disease in developed countries, is a self-limited vasculitis that is treated with high doses of intravenous immunoglobulin. Resistance to intravenous immunoglobulin in Kawasaki disease which is defined as a temperature of 38.0°C or higher at 36 hours to 7 days after completion of the infusion of intravenous immunoglobulin increases the risk of coronary artery lesions. We will conduct a multicenter, randomized, prospective trial to determine whether the use of infliximab to the children who don't respond to the first dose of IVIG(2g/kg) reduces the risk of coronary artery diseases. The IVIG-resistant children will be randomly assigned to either the infliximab or IVIG group in a 1:1 ratio and receive either infliximab (5 mg/kg at 1 mg/mL intravenously over 2 h) or IVIG (2g/kg). The level of leukocyte (WBC)counts, C-reactive protein, alanine transaminase,interleukin- 1( IL-1), interleukin- 6(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-a(TNF-a), soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor-1(STNFR-I), soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor-2(STNFR-2), the fever days,and the cost of hospital stay will be analyzed between these two groups.The final outcome is the incidence of coronary artery lesions.
