Randomised clinical trial: individualised vs. weight-based dosing of azathioprine in Crohn's disease

Abstract

Azathioprine (AZA), a pro-drug metabolized to the active metabolites 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6TGN), is a steroid-sparing therapy for Crohn’s disease (CD). This trial investigated whether AZA therapy is optimized by individualized dosing based on thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) activity and 6TGN concentrations
