Trial Outcomes & Findings for One Year Study of Rifaximin Delayed Release (DR) Tablets in Crohn's Disease (NCT NCT02240121)

NCT ID: NCT02240121

Last Updated: 2019-09-10

Results Overview

Clinical symptom remission defined by (1) the total number of liquid/very soft stools for the 7 days prior to the Week 52 visit being ≤ 10 (from CDAI Item 1). CDAI score is a weighted, composite index of 8 items (stool frequency, severity of abdominal pain, degree of general well-being, presence or absence of extraintestinal manifestations including fistula, use or non-use of antidiarrheal agents, presence or absence of abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight). Scores range from 0 to approximately 600 with higher scores indicating greater disease severity.

Participant Flow

A total of 80 participants were enrolled and randomized in this study.

Participants were randomized in a 1:1 allocation to Rifaximin EIR 800 mg or Placebo at the beginning of the treatment period and were maintained on that treatment assignment for 16 weeks, followed by an open-label long-term active treatment extension of an additional 36 weeks.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 16

Population: ITT population included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug.

Clinical symptom remission defined by (1) the total number of liquid/very soft stools for the 7 days prior to the Week 16 visit being ≤ 10 (from CDAI Item 1). CDAI score is a weighted, composite index of 8 items (stool frequency, severity of abdominal pain, degree of general well-being, presence or absence of extraintestinal manifestations including fistula, use or non-use of antidiarrheal agents, presence or absence of abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight). Scores range from 0 to approximately 600 with higher scores indicating greater disease severity.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 16 to 17

Population: ITT population included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug.

Endoscopic response defined as a ≥ 3-point decrease in the SES-CD from baseline to the SES-CD score obtained between Week 16 and Week 17. SES-CD scores were calculated from centrally-read digital video of ileocolonoscopies performed at baseline and between Week 16 and Week 17. SES-CD is a validated instrument reflecting an endoscopist's global appraisal of mucosal lesions in Crohn's disease. SES-CD grades lesions by location (5 bowel segments: ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum) using 4 endoscopic variables: ulcer size, extent of ulcerated surface, extent of affected surface, and presence/type of narrowing. The total SES-CD was calculated as the sum of the 4 variables for the 5 bowel segments: rectum, left colon, transverse colon, right colon, and ileum. Scores range from 0 to 60, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.
