Switching from originator to biosimilar infliximab (IFX) is effective and safe. However, data on multiple switching are scarce. The Edinburgh IBD unit has undertaken three switch programmes: (1) Remicade to CT-P13 (2016), (2) CT-P13 to SB2 (2020), and (3) SB2 to CT-P13 (2021)…

Background: Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is one of the most predominant causes of chronic esophageal symptoms in children. Pathological changes of the esophageal epithelium in EoE are characterized by basal cell hyperplasia (BCH), infiltration of eosinophils and elevated levels of cytokines (e.g…
