>>Erik, have you compared Remicade(JNJ) to Antegren for Crohn's ? >>

No, I haven't. It is not really possible to do so yet, as we don't have the clinical results for Antegren. We don't know if the drug will be approved for Crohn's, what the label in such a case would look like etc.

As the two drugs have completely different modes of action there is actually a distinct possibility that they may complement each other. I suppose you know that there is already a small combination trial on its way. (Evidently without any support from J&J as they are not named as sponsors).

clinicaltrials.gov

Since I visited the site last time the mode has actually switched to

"This study is no longer recruiting patients."

status. It was only 60 patients and I suppose it should have been quite attractive to become enrolled.
