About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study of Adalimumab for the Induction of Clinical Remission in Japanese Subjects With Crohn's Disease

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of adalimumab for the induction of clinical remission in Japanese subjects with Crohn's disease.

Conditions: Crohn's Disease
Being tested: adalimumab, placebo
Medical subject headings: Crohn Disease

What is being measured

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

The Number of Subjects With a Clinical Remission (Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CDAI] < 150) at Week 4
CDAI is used to quantify the symptoms of patients with Crohn's Disease. A score below 150 indicates remission and a score above 450 indicates severe disease. Comparison of the number of subjects with a clinical remission (CDAI < 150) in the adalimumab 160 mg (Week 0)/ 80 mg (Week 2) and adalimumab 80 mg (Week 0)/ 40 mg (Week 2) groups at Week 4.
Measured: 4 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)

Clinical Remission (CDAI < 150) at Week 2
Number of subjects in each treatment group in clinical remission (CDAI < 150) in Full Analysis Set (FAS) using non-responder Imputation (NRI) at Week 2.
Measured: Week 2
Clinical Response (CR-70 and CR-100) in Period A
The number of subjects in each treatment group with a clinical response 70 (CDAI decrease of >=70 compared to Baseline) and 100 (CDAI decrease of >=100 compared to Baseline) at Week 2 and Week 4.
Measured: Weeks 2 and Week 4
Clinical Response (CR-70 and CR-100) in Period B
The Number of subjects in each treatment group with a CR-70 (CDAI decrease of >= 70 compared to Baseline) and 100 (CDAI decrease of >= 100 compared to Baseline) in subjects who were non-responders at Week 4 at Week 6 and Week 8.
Measured: Week 6 and Week 8
Clinical Remission (CDAI <150) at Week 6 and Week 8
The number of subjects with clinical remission (CDAI < 150) in the subjects who were non-responders at Week 4 calculated with non-responder imputation (NRI) at Week 6 and Week 8
Measured: Week 6 and Week 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing adalimumab in people with Crohn's Disease, run by Abbott at 18 sites in Japan.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 27 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in Japan. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 23 Mar 2009). 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?

The Number of Subjects With a Clinical Remission (Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CDAI] < 150) at Week 4 (time frame: 4 Weeks). 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 NCT00445939, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Jun 2011; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
