About this study

Official title: GIANT - A Multicenter, Prospective, Observational Study of Real-world Anti-TNFa Treatment Regimens of Hyrimoz™ (Adalimumab Biosimilar) or Zessly™ (Infliximab Biosimilar) in Patients With Crohn's Disease

Hyrimoz™ was developed as a biosimilar to HumiraTM (INN: adalimumab) and Zessly™ was developed as a biosimilar to RemicadeTM (INN: infliximab). Within the Biosimilar Development Program of Hyrimoz™ and Zessly™, two clinical confirmatory efficacy and safety studies were conducted: Hyrimoz™ in plaque psoriasis and Zessly™ in rheumatoid arthritis. Both confirmatory Phase III studies demonstrated equivalent efficacy and similar safety and immunogenicity of Hyrimoz™ to HumiraTM and Zessly™ to RemicadeTM, respectively.

The current study is designed to provide a systematic and consistent overview of the real-world data in biologic-naïve patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease (CD). The data collected in this observational trial will be used to increase the knowledge of the effectiveness of Hyrimoz™ and Zessly™ in clinical routine care in patients with moderate-to-severe CD.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT03890445
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Adalimumab Biosimilar (Hyrimoz)Patients with moderate-to-severe CD receiving Hyrimoz™ treatment according to the Hyrimoz™ label at the discretion of the investigator
Infliximab Biosimilar (Zessly)Patients with moderate-to-severe CD receiving Zessly™ treatment according to the Zessly™ label at the discretion of the investigator

What is being measured

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

  1. The proportion of patients in corticosteroid-free remission defined as HBI (Harvey-Bradshow Index) ≤ 4 at Week 52

    This is a prospective, observational study that does not impose a therapy protocol, diagnostic or therapeutic procedure, or a visit schedule. Patients will be treated according to the local prescribing information, and routine medical practice in terms of visit frequency and types of assessments performed; only these data will be collected as part of the study.

    Measured: week 52

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Time to progression of a composite endpoint

    Composite endpoint defined as the occurrence of one of the following events :

    • Disease-related surgery, or
    • Disease-related hospital admission for > 3 days (including treatment-related side effects), or
    • Serious disease-related complications

    Measured: 6 years

  2. Incidence of adverse events

    • Incidence of Adverse Events (AE) in patients receiving Hyrimoz™ or Zessly™

    Measured: 6 years

  3. Measurement of the Inflamatory Bowel Disease (IBD) index over an observation period

    Measured: 4 years

  4. Assessing correlation of the diagnostic and treatment-monitoring procedures (imaging procedures and disease-related laboratory parameters) in patients receiving Hyrimoz™ or Zessly™ over an observation period

    Measured: 4 years

  5. Assessing QoL (Quality of Life scale) of patients receiving Hyrimoz™ or Zessly™ over an observation period

    Measured: 4 years

  6. Therapy persistence and treatment adherence (measured by the number of dose interruptions of Hyrimoz™ or Zessly™ without drug holidays more than 4 months).

    Observational study

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Crohn´s Disease, run by Sandoz at 18 sites in 5 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 6 inclusion and 5 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 18 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in Germany, Austria, Poland, Spain, Sweden. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The proportion of patients in corticosteroid-free remission defined as HBI (Harvey-Bradshow Index) ≤ 4 at Week 52 (time frame: week 52). 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 18 Jun 2021.
