Infliximab is an anti-tumour necrosis factor-alpha chimeric monoclonal antibody which is highly effective in psoriasis, as well as in other indications. In clinical practice, some patients may require dose escalation to overcome a reduction of the extent and/or duration of response during regular maintenance treatment, possibly due to the loss of stable serum concentrations of the drug. Common strategies of dose escalation are the increase of dose per infusion and the decrease of interval between infusions. Here we report the results of re-induction therapy with infliximab used as a dose escalation strategy in 9 patients whose psoriasis relapsed during maintenance treatment with infliximab 5 mg/kg every 8 weeks. Re-induction was well tolerated and capable of restoring response in 8 of these patients.
