Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of AIN457 in Moderate to Severe Active Crohn's Disease (NCT NCT00584740)

NCT ID: NCT00584740

Last Updated: 2015-03-31

Results Overview

The Crohns Disease Activity Index or CDAI is a research tool used to quantify the symptoms of patients with Crohns disease. Participants were asked to record on a paper diary the frequency of stools, abdominal pain and general well-being on a daily basis. In addition to the diary data, the investigator assessed the following for the calculation of CDAI score: arthritis/arthralgia, iritis/uveitis, erythema nodosum/pyoderma gangrenousum/aphthous stomatitis, anal fissure/fistula/abscess, other fistula; fever; use of antidiarrheal; abdominal mass; hematocrit; body weight. The CDAI score is the sum of the products of each item multiplied by its weighting factor. CDAI ranges from 0 to \>=600, where remission of Crohn's disease is defined as CDAI \< 150, and severe disease is defined as CDAI \> 450. A negative change in mean score indicates improvement.

CDAI ranges from 0 to \>=600, where remission of Crohn's disease is defined as CDAI \< 150, and severe disease is defined as CDAI \> 450. An area under the CDAI response curve analysis was performed with a starting point from week 4.
