Studies depicting effects of infliximab in treatment of RAS.

STUDY SUBJECTS TREATMENT EFFECTS
Ryu HJ et al., (2014) [4] Four patients with recurrent oral ulcers resistant to conventional treatments. A single dose of infliximab was given to the patients; an additional dose was administered in one patient on demand. A good response was noted in all patients. The effects of infliximab diminished after a few weeks. However, the ulcers were tolerable and an increase steroids or addition of another medication was not required for about 1 year.
Travis S et al., (2001) [40] Two women with orogenital ulceration associated with Behcet’s disease For one patient, Infliximab 3mg/kg was given because of an episode of recent sepsis, while in the other 5mg/kg was administered. Ulcers healed within 10 days.
Almoznino G et al., (2007) [41] 48-year-old woman who had recurrent oral ulcers due to Behcet’s syndrome and was unresponsive to many other medications. A single dose of Infliximab was given. Complete remission in the mouth aphthae within 7 days.
