Trial Outcomes & Findings for Cimzia Versus Mesalamine for Crohn's Recurrence (NCT NCT01696942)

NCT ID: NCT01696942

Last Updated: 2018-01-12

Results Overview

To evaluate the difference in clinical recurrence rates between certolizumab and mesalamine after 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months of use following ileocolectomy for Crohn's disease using the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI). CDAI scores of 150 or greater are considered a recurrence.

Measure
Cimzia Treatment Arm
Beginning at 4 weeks after surgery, patients would be randomly assigned using a pulled card method to receive certolizumab at a dose of 400 mg subcutaneously at weeks 4, 6, and 8 after surgery, and then every 4 weeks thereafter up to 12 months after enrollment. Cimzia: 400 mg subcutaneously at weeks 4, 6, and 8 after surgery, and then every 4 weeks
Mesalamine Treatment Arm
Beginning at 4 weeks after surgery, patients would be randomly assigned to receive mesalamine 800 mg orally three times daily for twelve months following enrollment. Mesalamine: mesalamine 800 mg orally three times daily

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months

Population: Subjects who received CDAI questionnaire. Number of participants fluctuates due to withdrawals and missed appointments.

To evaluate the difference in clinical recurrence rates between certolizumab and mesalamine after 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months of use following ileocolectomy for Crohn's disease using the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI). CDAI scores of 150 or greater are considered a recurrence.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: One year following enrollment

Population: Subjects available for colonoscopy at 12 month visit. This visit was sometimes separated from the overall 12-month visit so only 1 (cimzia) and 2 (mesalamine) patients respectively had the colonoscopy performed.

To compare the endoscopic recurrence rates at one year following surgery between patients treated with certolizumab and mesalamine.
