About this study
Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Risankizumab Subcutaneous Induction Treatment in Subjects With Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease
Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting disease that causes severe inflammation (redness, swelling), in the digestive tract, most often affecting the bowels. It can cause many different symptoms including abdominal pain, diarrhea, tiredness, and weight loss. This study will assess how safe and effective risankizumab subcutaneous (SC) induction treatment is in treating moderately to severely active CD in adult participants.
Risankizumab is an approved drug for adults with CD. This study comprises of a Period A, a Period B, and a Period C. In Period A, participants are placed in 1 of 2 groups to receive either risankizumab SC Dose A or Placebo. In Period B, based on response, participants will receive risankizumab SC Dose B or Placebo. Participants who do not have improvement in CD symptoms at Week 12 will receive risankizumab SC Dose C and participants with worsening CD symptoms in period B will receive risankizumab SC. In Period C, eligible participants will receive open-label risankizumab SC Dose D. Approximately 276 adult participants with a diagnosis of moderately to severely active CD will be enrolled in approximately 250 sites globally.
Participants will receive SC induction treatment of risankizumab or matching placebo for up to 24 weeks in Period A and B followed by an open-label risankizumab extension in Period C for 52 weeks. The duration of the study will be approximately 93 weeks.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants With Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Clinical Remission (CDAI < 150)
The CDAI consists of 8 components; 7 are based on participant diary entries, participant interviews, physical examinations, measurement of body weight and height and 1 is based on laboratory analysis. CDAI clinical remission of Crohn's disease is defined as CDAI < 150
Measured: Week 12
Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Response
The Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) assesses endoscopic disease severity by evidence of active intestinal mucosal inflammation. Endoscopic response is defined as a decrease in SES-CD > 50% from Baseline (or for participants with isolated ileal disease and a Baseline SES-CD of 4, at least a 2-point reduction from Baseline)
Measured: Week 12
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
Measured: Up to approximately 96 weeks
Secondary outcomes (5)
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission
Clinical remission is defined as using the average daily Stool Frequency (SF) ≤ 2.8 and not worse than Baseline AND average daily Abdominal Pain (AP) score ≤ 1 and not worse than Baseline.
Measured: Week 12
Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Remission
Endoscopic remission: SES-CD ≤ 4 and at least a 2 point reduction versus baseline and no subscore greater than 1 in any individual variable
Measured: Week 12
Percentage of Participants With Ulcer-Free Endoscopy
Ulcer-free endoscopy: SES-CD ulcerated surface subscore of 0 in participants with SES-CD ulcerated surface subscore ≥ 1 at Baseline
Measured: Week 12
Change From Baseline of Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue
The FACIT-Fatigue scale is a 13-item tool that measures an individual's level of fatigue during their usual daily activities over the past 7 days. Each of the fatigue and impact of fatigue items are measured on a 5-point Likert scale. The FACIT Fatigue Scale is the sum of the individual 13 scores and ranges from 0 to 52 where higher scores indicate better the quality of life. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement.
Measured: Week 12
Percentage of Participants with a CR-100 Clinical Response
CR-100 defined as at least a 100-point reduction from Baseline in CDAI
Measured: Week 4

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting disease that causes severe inflammation (redness, swelling), in the digestive tract, most often affecting the bowels. It can cause many different symptoms including abdominal pain, diarrhea, tiredness, and weight loss. This study will assess how safe and effective risankizumab subcutaneous (SC) induction treatment is in treating moderately to severely active CD in adult participants.
Risankizumab is an approved drug for adults with CD. This study comprises of a Period A, a Period B, and a Period C. In Period A, participants are placed in 1 of 2 groups to receive either risankizumab SC Dose A or Placebo. In Period B, based on response, participants will receive risankizumab SC Dose B or Placebo. Participants who do not have improvement in CD symptoms at Week 12 will receive risankizumab SC Dose C and participants with worsening CD symptoms in period B will receive risankizumab SC. In Period C, eligible participants will receive open-label risankizumab SC Dose D. Approximately 276 adult participants with a diagnosis of moderately to severely active CD will be enrolled in approximately 250 sites globally.
Participants will receive SC induction treatment of risankizumab or matching placebo for up to 24 weeks in Period A and B followed by an open-label risankizumab extension in Period C for 52 weeks. The duration of the study will be approximately 93 weeks.

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants With Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Clinical Remission (CDAI < 150)
Time frame: Week 12
The CDAI consists of 8 components; 7 are based on participant diary entries, participant interviews, physical examinations, measurement of body weight and height and 1 is based on laboratory analysis. CDAI clinical remission of Crohn's disease is defined as CDAI < 150
Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Response
Time frame: Week 12
The Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) assesses endoscopic disease severity by evidence of active intestinal mucosal inflammation. Endoscopic response is defined as a decrease in SES-CD > 50% from Baseline (or for participants with isolated ileal disease and a Baseline SES-CD of 4, at least a 2-point reduction from Baseline)
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events
Time frame: Up to approximately 96 weeks
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
