Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Certolizumab Pegol for Induction of Remission in Patients With Crohn's Disease (NCT NCT00552058)

NCT ID: NCT00552058

Last Updated: 2018-08-09

Results Overview

The percentage of subjects in clinical remission at Week 6 (clinical remission is defined as a total Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of 150 points or less). CDAI is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's disease. A score of 150 points or below indicates clinical remission and a score above 450 points indicates extremely severe disease.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 6

Population: Of the 223 (Certolizumab Pegol 400 mg) and 216 (Placebo) subjects randomized, 215 and 209 subjects are included in the Intent-to-treat (ITT) population, respectively. ITT population: subjects who received at least one dose of study drug, and who had at least one efficacy measurement after first dose.

The percentage of subjects in clinical remission at Week 6 (clinical remission is defined as a total Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of 150 points or less). CDAI is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's disease. A score of 150 points or below indicates clinical remission and a score above 450 points indicates extremely severe disease.

The percentage of subjects achieving a clinical response at Week 6 (clinical response is defined as at least a 100-point decrease from the Week 0 Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score). CDAI is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's disease. A score of 150 or below indicates clinical remission and a score above 450 points indicates extremely severe disease.
