About this study
Official title: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Multicenter, Multiregional, One Year Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Twice Daily Oral Rifaximin Delayed Release Tablets for Induction of Clinical Remission With Endoscopic Response at 16 Weeks Followed by Clinical and Endoscopic Remission at 52 Weeks in Subjects With Active Moderate Crohn's Disease
The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of rifaximin DR also referred to as Extended Intestinal Release (EIR) tablets vs. placebo for the induction of clinical remission and endoscopic response following 16 weeks of treatment in participants presenting with active moderate Crohn's disease. A key secondary objective is to evaluate clinical and endoscopic remission following an additional 36 weeks of treatment.
Read the detailed description
RECD3126 is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter, multiregional, 52-week study to assess the efficacy and safety of rifaximin DR tablets for the induction of clinical remission and endoscopic response at 16 weeks followed by clinical and endoscopic remission after 52 weeks of continuous therapy in participants with active moderate Crohn's disease.
Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 allocation to rifaximin or placebo at the beginning of the treatment period and will maintain treatment assignment throughout the duration of the study. Ileocolonoscopy will be performed on all participants at baseline, between Weeks 16 and 17 (end of the Induction Phase), and following completion of the 36-week Long Term Treatment Phase (Week 52).

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Symptom Remission (From CDAI Item 1) at Week 16
Clinical symptom remission defined by (1) the total number of liquid/very soft stools for the 7 days prior to the Week 16 visit being less than or equal to (≤) 10 (from CDAI Item 1). CDAI score is a weighted, composite index of 8 items (stool frequency, severity of abdominal pain, degree of general well-being, presence or absence of extraintestinal manifestations including fistula, use or non-use of antidiarrheal agents, presence or absence of abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight). Scores range from 0 to approximately 600 with higher scores indicating greater disease severity.
Measured: Week 16
Number of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Symptom Remission (From CDAI Item 2) at Week 16
Clinical Symptom Remission defined by (2) an abdominal pain (graded from 0 [less severe]-3 [more severe]) rating of ≤ 1 (from CDAI Item 2) on each day for the 7 days prior to the Week 16 visit. CDAI score is a weighted, composite index of 8 items (stool frequency, severity of abdominal pain, degree of general well-being, presence or absence of extraintestinal manifestations including fistula, use or non-use of antidiarrheal agents, presence or absence of abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight). Scores range from 0 to approximately 600 with higher scores indicating greater disease severity.
Measured: Week 16
Number of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Symptom Remission (From CDAI Item 1 and 2 Both) at Week 16
Clinical Symptom Remission defined by (1) the total number of liquid/very soft stools for the 7 days prior to the Week 16 visit being ≤ 10 (from CDAI Item 1); and (2) an abdominal pain (graded from 0 [less severe]-3 [more severe]) rating of ≤ 1 (from CDAI Item 2) on each day for the 7 days prior to the Week 16 visit. CDAI score is a weighted, composite index of 8 items (stool frequency, severity of abdominal pain, degree of general well-being, presence or absence of extraintestinal manifestations including fistula, use or non-use of antidiarrheal agents, presence or absence of abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight). Scores range from 0 to approximately 600 with higher scores indicating greater disease severity.
Measured: Week 16
Number of Participants With Endoscopic Response Between Week 16 and 17
Endoscopic response defined as a ≥ 3-point decrease in the SES-CD from baseline to the SES-CD score obtained between Week 16 and Week 17. SES-CD scores were calculated from centrally-read digital video of ileocolonoscopies performed at baseline and between Week 16 and Week 17. SES-CD is a validated instrument reflecting an endoscopist's global appraisal of mucosal lesions in Crohn's disease. SES-CD grades lesions by location (5 bowel segments: ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum) using 4 endoscopic variables: ulcer size, extent of ulcerated surface, extent of affected surface, and presence/type of narrowing. The total SES-CD was calculated as the sum of the 4 variables for the 5 bowel segments: rectum, left colon, transverse colon, right colon, and ileum. Scores range from 0 to 60, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.
Measured: Baseline, Week 16 to 17
Number of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Symptom Remission (From CDAI Item 1) at Week 52
Clinical symptom remission defined by (1) the total number of liquid/very soft stools for the 7 days prior to the Week 52 visit being ≤ 10 (from CDAI Item 1). CDAI score is a weighted, composite index of 8 items (stool frequency, severity of abdominal pain, degree of general well-being, presence or absence of extraintestinal manifestations including fistula, use or non-use of antidiarrheal agents, presence or absence of abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight). Scores range from 0 to approximately 600 with higher scores indicating greater disease severity.
Measured: Week 52
Number of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Symptom Remission (From CDAI Item 2) at Week 52
Clinical Symptom Remission defined by (2) an abdominal pain (graded from 0 [less severe]-3 [more severe]) rating of ≤ 1 (from CDAI Item 2) on each day for the 7 days prior to the Week 52 visit. CDAI score is a weighted, composite index of 8 items (stool frequency, severity of abdominal pain, degree of general well-being, presence or absence of extraintestinal manifestations including fistula, use or non-use of antidiarrheal agents, presence or absence of abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight). Scores range from 0 to approximately 600 with higher scores indicating greater disease severity.
Measured: Week 52

Secondary outcomes (3)
Number of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Remission (Defined as CDAI Score of <150) at Week 16
Clinical remission was defined as a CDAI score of less than 150 points at Week 16.

Who may be eligible to take part?
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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 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. 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 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 10 Sep 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 Who Achieved Clinical Symptom Remission (From CDAI Item 1) at Week 16 (time frame: Week 16). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Sep 2019.
