Elevated levels of TNF\u2010\u03b1 have been observed in fluids from chronic wounds and have been shown to decrease over time during the healing process. Therapeutic antibodies such as infliximab can inhibit TNF\u2010\u03b1 activity. In this case series, we applied infliximab topically to eight patients with chronic ulcers of more than 4\u2010month durations. The ulcers had multifactorial aetiology, with chronic venous insufficiency being the most prominent factor. All the ulcers had failed to respond to any previous conventional treatment. Infliximab was applied repeatedly to ulcers either as a 10 mg\/ml solution and covered with an adhesive sheet or as a gel formulation (0\u00b745, 1, or 4\u00b75 mg\/g) under a hydrofiber dressing\/adhesive sheet. Improvement was assessed by measuring the percentage of change in the ulcer surface area. Seven of the eight patients (12 of 14 ulcers) responded to treatment with infliximab. After 4 weeks of treatment, surface area was reduced by more than 50% in 6 of the 14 treated ulcers. Within 8 weeks, five ulcers completely healed, while another four were reduced by more than 75% in size. Chronic, therapy\u2010resistant leg ulcers responded well to repeated topical administration of a solution or a gel containing the TNF\u2010\u03b1 antibody, infliximab. Randomised controlled studies should be conducted to further evaluate the effect of topical infliximab on chronic wound healing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1742-481x.2006.00233.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,9,19]],"date-time":"2006-09-19T15:05:55Z","timestamp":1158678355000},"page":"171-179","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":99,"title":["Topical
