What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • adalimumabBiological

    Also called ABT-D2E7, Humira

    At Baseline (Week 0), subjects received an OL dose of 160 mg adalimumab SC followed by an OL dose of 80 mg adalimumab SC at Week 2 (induction dose). At Week 4, subjects were randomized to either adalimumab 40 mg SC eow or placebo SC eow. Adalimumab 40 mg eow dosing through blinded portion of study, which continued through Week 52. While all subjects began blinded study drug (placebo or adalimumab), subjects could have switched to an OL dose of adalimumab upon disease flare or non-response at or after Week 8.

  • placeboBiological

In the Open-Label arm, interventions were either adalimumab 40 mg SC eow or adalimumab 40 mg SC weekly. There was no placebo intervention post Week 52.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Subjects Without Mucosal Ulceration at Week 12

    Subjects were to have undergone up to 4 endoscopies to evaluate the presence or absence of mucosal ulceration: at Screening, at Week 12 (subjects who moved to open label (OL) drug between Week 8 and Week 12 because of disease flare or non-response were evaluated by endoscopy prior to receiving OL dosing), at the time of switch from blinded study drug to OL adalimumab at any time after Week 12, and at Week 52 or Early Termination. Subjects who remained blinded for the entire 52-week trial or switched to OL adalimumab between Week 8 and Week 12 were to have undergone 3 endoscopies.

    Measured: Week 12

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Subjects With Clinical Remission Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) < 150 at Week 12

    Clinical remission is defined as a CDAI less than 150. A lower score correlates with less severe Crohn's disease activity. The CDAI range for this study was 0 to 961.

    Measured: Week 12

  2. Number of Subjects Without Mucosal Ulceration at Week 52

    The number of subjects receiving blinded study drug in each treatment group who were without mucosal ulceration at Week 52.

    Measured: Week 52

  3. Number of Subjects With Clinical Remission (CDAI < 150) at Week 52

    Clinical remission is defined as a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) less than 150. A lower score correlates with less severe Crohn's disease activity. The CDAI range for this study was 0 to 961.

    Measured: Week 52

  4. Number of Subjects Without Mucosal Ulceration at Both Week 12 and Week 52

    The number of subjects receiving blinded study drug in each treatment group who were without mucosal ulceration at both Week 12 and Week 52.

    Measured: Weeks 12 and 52

  5. Number of Subjects With Clinical Remission (CDAI < 150) at Both Week 12 and Week 52

    Clinical remission is defined as a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) less than 150. A lower score correlates with less severe Crohn's disease activity. The CDAI range for this study was 0 to 961.

    Measured: Weeks 12 and 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing adalimumab in people with Crohn's Disease, run by Abbott at 21 sites in 8 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in United States, Canada, Belgium, Germany, Austria and 3 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Feb 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Subjects Without Mucosal Ulceration at Week 12 (time frame: Week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00348283, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Apr 2011.
