The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether the early introduction of biological treatment with a TNF-alpha inhibitor (infliximab) in addition to corticosteroids for severe ir-colitis/diarrhoea will reduce the time to grade ≤ 1 ir-colitis/diarrhoea compared to corticosteroids alone in patients scheduled for ICI treatment for solid tumors and untreated mCTCAE grade 2-4 diarrhoea or colitis. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can an early introduction of biological treatment with a TNF-alpha inhibitor (infliximab) in addition to corticosteroids reduce the time to grade ≤ 1 ir-colitis/diarrhoea compared to corticosteroids alone. Participants will be randomised 1:1: Arm A: All patients will receive same dose of methylprednisolone i.v. daily. Arm B: Patients allocated to Arm B will in addition receive infliximab i.v. day 1 or 2. Study patients are evaluated with blood samples, faecal samples and by sigmoidoscopy. Procedures are performed before randomisation and as part of follow up.
