Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Adalimumab for the Induction of Clinical Remission in Japanese Subjects With Crohn's Disease (NCT NCT00445939)

NCT ID: NCT00445939

Last Updated: 2011-06-27

Results Overview

CDAI is used to quantify the symptoms of patients with Crohn's Disease. A score below 150 indicates remission and a score above 450 indicates severe disease. Comparison of the number of subjects with a clinical remission (CDAI \< 150) in the adalimumab 160 mg (Week 0)/ 80 mg (Week 2) and adalimumab 80 mg (Week 0)/ 40 mg (Week 2) groups at Week 4.

Participant Flow

Subjects with moderate to severe Crohn's Disease (Crohn's Disease Activity Index \[CDAI\] \>= 220 and \<= 450) were enrolled into study. The period from the first dose of study drug to the evaluation at Week 4 is Period A. The period from the study drug injection at Week 4 to the evaluation at Week 8 is Period B.

All subjects were evaluated at Week 4. If responders (CDAI decrease \>= 70 points compared to Baseline), rolled over to a maintenance study. If non-responders (CDAI decrease of \< 70 points compared to Baseline), continued in study and received: adalimumab 160/80 mg + 40/40 mg, or adalimumab 80/40 mg + 40/40 mg or placebo + adalimumab 160/80 mg.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 Weeks

Population: The primary analysis will be performed on the full analysis set (randomized subjects who received at least one dose of study drug) using the non-responder imputation for missing remission observations.

CDAI is used to quantify the symptoms of patients with Crohn's Disease. A score below 150 indicates remission and a score above 450 indicates severe disease. Comparison of the number of subjects with a clinical remission (CDAI \< 150) in the adalimumab 160 mg (Week 0)/ 80 mg (Week 2) and adalimumab 80 mg (Week 0)/ 40 mg (Week 2) groups at Week 4.
