What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Response (Clinical Response or Remission) at Week 6

    CDAI Response is presented as the percentage of subjects with clinical response at Week 6 or remission at Week 6. Clinical response is defined as at least a 100-point decrease from the Week 0 CDAI score, where change = (CDAI score at Week 6) - (CDAI score at Week 0). Remission is defined as a CDAI of <= 150 at Week 6.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 6

Secondary outcomes (26)
  1. Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Score at Week 2

    The Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's Disease. The CDAI score can range from 0-600 (600 indicating the worst disease). It is the sum of 8 subscores, only the summary score is used here. A CDAI score of 150 or less is considered as remission and a score above 450 indicates extremely severe disease. A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity.

    Measured: Week 2

  2. Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Score at Week 4

    The Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's Disease. The CDAI score can range from 0-600 (600 indicating the worst disease). It is the sum of 8 subscores, only the summary score is used here. A CDAI score of 150 or less is considered as remission and a score above 450 indicates extremely severe disease. A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity.

    Measured: Week 4

  3. Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Score at Week 6

    The Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's Disease. The CDAI score can range from 0-600 (600 indicating the worst disease). It is the sum of 8 subscores, only the summary score is used here. A CDAI score of 150 or less is considered as remission and a score above 450 indicates extremely severe disease. A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity.

    Measured: Week 6

  4. Percentage of Subjects Who Achieve CDAI Response at Week 2

    CDAI Response at Week 2 is defined as clinical response at Week 2 or remission at Week 2. Clinical response is defined as at least a 100-point decrease from the Week 0 CDAI score, where change = (CDAI score at Week 2) - (CDAI score at Week 0). Remission is defined as a CDAI score of <= 150 points.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2

  5. Percentage of Subjects Who Achieve CDAI Response at Week 4

    CDAI Response at Week 4 is defined as clinical response at Week 4 or remission at Week 4. Clinical response is defined as at least a 100-point decrease from the Week 0 CDAI score, where change = (CDAI score at Week 4) - (CDAI score at Week 0). Remission is defined as a CDAI score of <= 150 points.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4

  6. Percentage of Subjects Who Achieve a Reduction in CDAI Scores of at Least 70 Points at Week 2

    The Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's Disease. A score of 150 or below indicates disease remission and a score above 450 indicates extremely severe disease. A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2

  7. Percentage of Subjects Who Achieve a Reduction in CDAI Scores of at Least 70 Points at Week 4

    The Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's Disease. A score of 150 or below indicates disease remission and a score above 450 indicates extremely severe disease. A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4

  8. Percentage of Subjects Who Achieve a Reduction in CDAI Scores of at Least 70 Points at Week 6

    The Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's Disease. A score of 150 or below indicates disease remission and a score above 450 indicates extremely severe disease. A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 6

  9. Percentage of Subjects Who Achieve Remission (CDAI <= 150) at Week 2

    Remission at Week 2 is defined as a CDAI score <= 150 points at Week 2.

    Measured: Week 2

  10. Percentage of Subjects Who Achieve Remission (CDAI <= 150) at Week 4

    Remission at Week 6 is defined as a CDAI score <= 150 points at Week 6.

    Measured: Week 6

  12. Percentage of Subjects Who Achieve Clinical Response (Reduction in CDAI Scores of at Least 100 Points) at Week 2

    Clinical response is defined as at least a 100-point decrease from the Week 0 CDAI score, where change = (CDAI score at Week 2) - (CDAI score at Week 0).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2

  13. Percentage of Subjects Who Achieve Clinical Response (Reduction in CDAI Scores of at Least 100 Points) at Week 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Certolizumab Pegol in people with Crohn's Disease, run by UCB Pharma at 22 sites in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Aug 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Response (Clinical Response or Remission) at Week 6 (time frame: Baseline, Week 6). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Aug 2020.
