Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the influence of early therapeutic drug monitoring and dose optimization on disease outcome in Crohn's patients treated with Adalimumab.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an investigator initiated randomized open label study. This study is designed to compare whether increasing the dose of adalimumab based on the level the drug in the blood to a target level early in the treatment course would lead to better outcomes for patients as compared to the standard doses.

Some of the participants, care providers and investigators will eventually, in the course of the study, have knowledge of the arm they were assigned.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard clinical care

Adalimumab induction as per standard clinical care:

* Week 0: 160 mg SC
* Week 2: 80 mg SC
* Followed by 40 mg SC every 2 weeks' maintenance therapy

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Adalimumab

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Active optimization

Same as Standard clinical care Arm, except:

* If ADAL trough ≤15 μg/ml, dose escalation with 80 mg SC at week 6 followed by 40 mg SC every week
* If ADAL trough \>15 μg/ml, no dose escalation and continued standard of care dosing
