About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Multicenter Study of Higher Versus Standard Adalimumab Dosing Regimens for Induction and Maintenance Therapy in Subjects With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis

To evaluate safety and efficacy of two adalimumab dosing regimens for induction and maintenance (standard and higher dosing) in achieving clinical remission in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.

Being tested
Adalimumab, Placebo
Keywords
Ulcerative Colitis
Medical subject headings
Colitis, Ulcerative

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02065622
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Induction (Main Study + Japan Sub-study): I-SDExperimentalInduction Standard Dose: Double-blind adalimumab regimen of 160 mg at Week 0 followed by 80 mg at Week 2, 40 mg at Week 4, and 40 mg at Week 6.
Receives: Drug: Adalimumab; Other: Placebo
Induction (Main Study + Japan Sub-study): I-HDExperimentalInduction Higher Dose: Double-blind adalimumab regimen of 160 mg at Weeks 0, 1, 2, and 3 followed by 40 mg at Week 4, and 40 mg at Week 6.
Receives: Drug: Adalimumab
Maintenance (Main Study + Japan Sub-study): M-SDExperimentalMaintenance Standard Dose: Double-blind adalimumab 40 mg every other week (eow), for 44 weeks.
Receives: Drug: Adalimumab; Other: Placebo
Maintenance (Main Study + Japan Sub-study): M-HDExperimentalMaintenance Higher Dose: Double-blind adalimumab 40 mg every week (ew) for 44 weeks.
Receives: Drug: Adalimumab
Maintenance (Main Study): TDM RegimenExperimentalDouble-blind adalimumab 40 mg eow at Week 8 and Week 10, with possible dose adjustments at Weeks 12, 24, and 37 based on criteria assessing blinded adalimumab serum concentration and rectal bleeding subscore (RBS) assessments.
Receives: Drug: Adalimumab; Other: Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Induction Period Primary Endpoint: Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission Per Full Mayo Score (FMS) at Week 8

    The Mayo score is a tool designed to measure disease activity for ulcerative colitis. The FMS ranges from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 12 (severe disease) and is calculated as the sum of 4 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopy [confirmed by a central reader], and physician's global assessment), each of which ranges from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe disease). Negative changes indicate improvement. Clinical remission per FMS is defined as Mayo Score ≤ 2 and no individual subscore > 1.

    Measured: Week 8

  2. Maintenance Period Primary Endpoint: Percentage of Week 8 Responders (Per FMS) With Clinical Remission (Per FMS) at Week 52

    The Mayo score is a tool designed to measure disease activity for ulcerative colitis. The FMS ranges from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 12 (severe disease) and is calculated as the sum of 4 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopy [confirmed by a central reader], and physician's global assessment), each of which ranges from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe disease). Negative changes indicate improvement. Week 8 responders (per FMS) are defined as participants with a decrease in Full Mayo score of ≥ 3 points and ≥ 30% from Baseline plus a decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore (RBS) ≥ 1 or an absolute RBS ≤ 1. Clinical remission per FMS is defined as Mayo Score ≤ 2 and no individual subscore > 1.

    Measured: Week 52

Secondary outcomes (21)
  1. Induction Period Ranked Secondary Endpoint 1: Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Improvement at Week 8

    The Mayo score is a tool designed to measure disease activity for ulcerative colitis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Adalimumab in people with Ulcerative Colitis (UC), run by AbbVie at 173 sites in 20 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 23 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 173 sites in United States, Japan, Poland, Germany, France and 15 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. 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 8 Oct 2020). 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?

Induction Period Primary Endpoint: Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission Per Full Mayo Score (FMS) at Week 8 (time frame: Week 8). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02065622, 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 23 Nov 2020.
