What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    An adverse event was any untoward or unintended symptoms (including abnormal laboratory findings), condition or illness, which are not always related to Humira. Please see Adverse Event section below for more details.

    Measured: From first dose of Humira up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Score Over Time

    The Change in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) is used to evaluate the activity of Crohn's disease. The CDAI is calculated on the basis of a one-week evaluation of 8 items and ranges from 0 to about 600. The 8 items are frequency of liquid or very soft stool, abdominal pain, complications of Crohn's disease (e.g., uveitis, arthritis, fistula, and abscess), abdominal mass, hematocrit, body weight, use of antidiarrheals, and general condition. Low scores indicate low activity of Crohn's disease. In general, CDAI scores below 150 represent remission and scores over 450 represent very severe Crohn's disease. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: From first dose of Humira up to 3 years

  2. Change In Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI): Crohn's Disease (CD) Absenteeism Over Time

    WPAI: CD is a questionnaire used to evaluate lost productivity due to CD; scores are presented as percentages (multiplying the scores by 100), with 0% representing no impact on productivity and 100% representing complete impact on productivity. Absenteeism (percentage of work time missed due to CD) is calculated as the number of hours of work missed due to CD / (number of hours of work missed due to CD + number of hours worked) * 100. WPAI outcomes are expressed as impairment percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity.

    Measured: From first dose of Humira up to 3 years

  3. Change in WPAI: CD Presenteeism Over Time

    WPAI: CD is a questionnaire used to evaluate lost productivity due to CD; scores are presented as percentages (multiplying the scores by 100), with 0% representing no impact on productivity and 100% representing complete impact on productivity. Presenteeism (percentage of impairment while working due to CD ) is calculated as the patient's rating of how much CD affected productivity while working (0 = no effect; 10 = completely prevented from working) / 10 * 100. WPAI outcomes are expressed as impairment percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity.

    Measured: From first dose of Humira up to 3 years

  4. Change in WPAI: CD Overall Work Impairment Over Time

    WPAI: CD is a questionnaire used to evaluate lost productivity due to CD ; scores are presented as percentages (multiplying the scores by 100), with 0% representing no impact on productivity and 100% representing complete impact on productivity. Total work productivity impairment takes into account both hours missed due to CD symptoms and the patient's assessment of the degree to which CD affected their productivity while working (overall work impairment [OWI]). WPAI outcomes are expressed as impairment percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity.

    Measured: From first dose of Humira up to 3 years

  5. Change in WPAI: CD Activity Impairment Over Time

    WPAI: CD is a questionnaire used to evaluate lost productivity due to CD ; scores are presented as percentages (multiplying the scores by 100), with 0% representing no impact on productivity and 100% representing complete impact on productivity. Activity impairment (percentage of activity impairment due to CD ) is calculated as the patient's rating of how much CD affected their ability to do regular daily activities, other than working at a job (0 = no effect; 10 = completely prevented from working) / 10 * 100. WPAI outcomes are expressed as impairment percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity.

    Measured: From first dose of Humira up to 3 years

  6. Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Remission Over Time by Intestine Segment (Large Intestine, Small Intestine, and Both Large and Small Intestine)

    Endoscopic remission per endoscopy sub score.

    Measured: From first dose of Humira up to 3 years

  7. Change in C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Levels Over Time

    CRP values were measured as an inflammatory parameter. Low CRP values mean less inflammation.

    Measured: From first dose of Humira up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Crohn's Disease, run by AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott).

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 20 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 May 2019). 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 Participants With Adverse Events (time frame: From first dose of Humira up to 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 May 2019.
