About this study
Official title: A Multicenter Open-label Study of the Human Anti-TNF Monoclonal Antibody Adalimumab to Investigate Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics After Dose Escalation in Japanese Subjects With Crohn's Disease
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics after dose escalation in Japanese subjects with Crohn's Disease.
Read the detailed description
Subjects who are confirmed to meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria during screening period (≤ 21 days) will be given subcutaneous injections of open-label adalimumab 80 mg eow from Week 0 to Week 50. If a subject has an inadequate response at or after Week 8, the subject may be withdrawn from the study. Self-injection of study drug is permitted for the subjects who are willing to perform self-injection, if the investigator decided as appropriate. Disease activity will be evaluated by Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI) at Screening, Week 0 and every 4 weeks until Week 52. Follow-up will be performed at 70 days after the last dose of study drug by visit or telephone.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Response 50 (CR50; Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CDAI] Decrease ≥ 50 From Week 0) at Week 8
CDAI is used to quantify the signs and symptoms of patients with Crohn's Disease. A score below 150 indicates remission and a score above 450 indicates severe disease. Non-responder imputation (NRI) for missing CDAI observations was used.
Measured: Week 8
Secondary outcomes (12)
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Remission (CDAI < 150) Every 4 Weeks up to Week 52
CDAI is used to quantify the signs and symptoms of patients with Crohn's Disease. A score below 150 indicates remission and a score above 450 indicates severe disease. Non-responder imputation (NRI) for missing CDAI observations was used.

Measured: Weeks 4, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, and 52
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Response 70 (CR70; Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CDAI] Decrease ≥ 70 From Week 0) Every 4 Weeks up to Week 52
CDAI is used to quantify the signs and symptoms of patients with Crohn's Disease. A score below 150 indicates remission and a score above 450 indicates severe disease. Non-responder imputation (NRI) for missing CDAI observations was used.
Measured: Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, and 52
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Response 100 (CR100; Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CDAI] Decrease of 100 From Week 0) Every 4 Weeks up to Week 52
CDAI is used to quantify the signs and symptoms of patients with Crohn's Disease. A score below 150 indicates remission and a score above 450 indicates severe disease. Non-responder imputation (NRI) for missing CDAI observations was used.
Measured: Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, and 52
C-reactive Protein (CRP): Mean Change From Baseline (Week 0) to Week 52
C-reactive protein (CRP) was measured from blood samples as a marker for inflammation. Higher levels are indicative of more inflammation. Normal concentration in healthy human serum is usually lower than 0.3 mg/dL, slightly increasing with age. Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) was used for missing data.
Measured: Baseline (Week 0) and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, and 52
Number of Participants With Potentially Significant Hematology Parameters
Blood was collected for analysis at designated study visits; hematology results were provided by each site laboratory. The number of participants with an abnormal laboratory result (higher than upper limit of normal [ULN] or lower than lower limit of normal [LLN]) meeting Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) of Grade 3 or higher is summarized. Increase is signified by ↑. n=the number of participants with CTC Grade <3 at baseline and a post-baseline value.
Measured: 52 weeks
Number of Participants With Potentially Significant Clinical Chemistry Parameters
Blood was collected for analysis at designated study visits; chemistry results were provided by a central laboratory. The number of participants with an abnormal laboratory result (higher than upper limit of normal [ULN] or lower than lower limit of normal [LLN]) meeting Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) of Grade 3 or higher is summarized. n=the number of participants with CTC Grade <3 at baseline and a post-baseline value for each parameter.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A serious AE (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent events (TEAEs or TESAE) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity after the first dose of study drug. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either Reasonable possibility or No reasonable possibility of being related to study drug.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Adalimumab in people with Crohn's Disease, run by AbbVie.
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 5 inclusion and 3 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 12 Apr 2016. 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.
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 12 Apr 2016). 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?
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Response 50 (CR50; Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CDAI] Decrease ≥ 50 From Week 0) at Week 8 (time frame: Week 8). 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 NCT01958827, 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 12 Apr 2016.
