What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response at Day 4

    Clinical response defined as a decrease of at least 3 points in Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI) score. The HBI consists of only clinical parameters (general well-being, abdominal pain, number of liquid stools per day, abdominal mass, and complications): The first 3 items are scored for the previous day. Patients with Crohn's disease who scored 3 or less on the HBI are very likely to be in remission. Patients with a score of 8 to 9 or higher are considered to have severe disease.

    Measured: Day 4

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response at Week 1

    Clinical response defined as a decrease of at least 3 points in HBI score. The HBI consists of only clinical parameters (general well-being, abdominal pain, number of liquid stools per day, abdominal mass, and complications): The first 3 items are scored for the previous day. Patients with Crohn's disease who scored 3 or less on the HBI are very likely to be in remission. Patients with a score of 8 to 9 or higher are considered to have severe disease.

    Measured: Week 1

  2. Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission at Weeks 2 and 4

    Clinical remission defined as HBI < 5. The HBI consists of only clinical parameters (general well-being, abdominal pain, number of liquid stools per day, abdominal mass, and complications): The first 3 items are scored for the previous day. Patients with Crohn's disease who scored 3 or less on the HBI are very likely to be in remission. Patients with a score of 8 to 9 or higher are considered to have severe disease.

    Measured: Weeks 2 and 4

  3. European Quality of Life (EuroQol) 5 Dimensions 3 Levels Questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L) Index Score: Change From Baseline to Week 12

    The EQ-5D-3L is a standardized instrument for use as a measure of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and consists of 2 components:

    1. The EQ-5D-3L Index Score has five dimensions of health (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) with 3 levels of severity for each dimension ('no problems', 'some problems', and 'extreme problems'). The level of severity reported on each of the EQ-5D-3L dimensions determines a unique health state. Health states are converted into a weighted health state index. These weights lie on a scale on which full health has a value of 1 and dead has a value of 0.
    2. The EQ-5D visual analog scale (VAS) is a 20-cm scale with endpoints labeled "best imaginable health" and "worst imaginable health" anchored at 100 and 0, respectively.

    A positive change represents an improvement in HRQoL. Mean Baseline and mean change from Baseline to Week 12 in the EQ-5D-3L Index Score are presented.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0) and Week 12

  4. European Quality of Life (EuroQol) 5 Dimensions 3 Levels Questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L) Visual Analog Scale (VAS): Change From Baseline to Week 12

    The EQ-5D-3L is a standardized instrument for use as a measure of HRQoL and consists of 2 components:

    1. The EQ-5D-3L Index Score has five dimensions of health (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) with 3 levels of severity for each dimension ('no problems', 'some problems', and 'extreme problems'). The level of severity reported on each of the EQ-5D-3L dimensions determines a unique health state. Health states are converted into a weighted health state index. These weights lie on a scale on which full health has a value of 1 and dead has a value of 0.
    2. The EQ-5D VAS is a 20-cm scale with endpoints labeled "best imaginable health" and "worst imaginable health" anchored at 100 and 0, respectively.

    A positive change represents an improvement in HRQoL. Mean Baseline and mean change from Baseline to Week 12 in the EQ-5D-3L VAS are presented.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0) and Week 12

  5. Inflammatory Bowel Disease Quality-36 (IBDQ-36) Questionnaire Overall Score: Change From Baseline to Week 12

    The IBDQ-36 is used to assess the HRQoL related to bowel symptoms. The IBDQ-36 overall score is calculated as the sum of thirty-six items, each scored on a 1 to 7 likert point scale, and ranges from 7 to 252. The highest score indicates the best HRQoL related to bowel symptoms. A positive change in IBDQ-36 overall score indicates an improvement in HRQoL due to inflammatory bowel disease. Mean Baseline and mean change from Baseline to Week 12 in the EQ-5D-3L VAS are presented.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0) and Week 12

  6. Fatigue Impact Scale for Daily Use (D-FIS): Change From Baseline to Week 12

    The D-FIS is used to measure the impact of fatigue on the daily lives of persons. The D-FIS overall score was calculated as the sum of eight items, each scored on a 0 to 4 point scale, and ranges from 0 to 32. A higher score indicates a higher impact of fatigue on daily life. A negative change in D-FIS Overall Score means an improvement in HRQoL due to fatigue. Mean Baseline and mean change from Baseline to Week 12 are presented.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0) and Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing adalimumab in people with Moderate to Severe 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 13 inclusion and 9 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 1 Mar 2018. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 29 Aug 2017). 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 With Clinical Response at Day 4 (time frame: Day 4). 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 1 Mar 2018.
