Abstract

The COVID‐19 pandemic emphasized the utility of subcutaneous (SC) biologics for pressured healthcare systems. The first SC form of infliximab, CT‐P13 SC, provided safe and effective treatment for ankylosing spondylitis in our case series, with increased convenience relative to intravenous treatment benefitting patients both during the pandemic and beyond.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case series, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
