Brief Summary
The goal of this prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled, non-inferiority trial is to test efficacy and safety of formulation switching between subcutaneous (SC) infliximab and intravenous (IV) infliximab in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). The primary endpoint of this study is deep remission at week 54. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Question-1) Is maintenance therapy with SC infliximab (120mg every 2 weeks) non-inferior to IV infliximab (5mg/kg every 8 weeks) in terms of deep remission at week 54? Question-2) Is maintenance therapy with SC infliximab (120mg every 2 weeks) non-inferior to IV infliximab (10mg/kg every 8 weeks) in terms of deep remission at week 54?

Active tuberculosis. However, the following patients can be included: Patients who were diagnosed with tuberculosis, but were properly treated with anti-tuberculosis therapy according to the standard guidelines and who were confirmed to be cured. 5. Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI): Patients confirmed as having latent tuberculosis through medical history, physical examination, chest X-ray, PPD (Purified Protein Derivative) skin test or interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) by a pulmonology specialist. However, patients with LTBI who finished proper treatment for LTBI for 4 weks and who are going to complete LTBI treatment. 6. HBsAg (Hepatitis B virus surface antigen)-positivity. Patients with negative HBsAg, but positive IgG anti-HBc (Immunoglobulin G anti-Hepatitis B core antibody) should be tested for HBV (hepatitis B virus) DNA real time quantitative PCR (polymerase chain reaction). If HBV DNA real time quantitative PCR ≥10 IU/mL should be excluded. 7. Anti-HCV (hepatitis C virus) antibody-positivity 8.

Patients who are decided to be not proper to be enrolled into the study by investigators.
