What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Achieving Endoscopic Remission at Month 12
Endoscopic remission was based on Simplified Endoscopic Score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD). The SES-CD assessed the size of mucosal ulcers, the ulcerated surface, the endoscopic extension and the presence of stenosis. SES-CD was based on endoscopic findings in 5 bowel segments (Ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon/sigmoid, and rectum). Each item was scored 0 to 3 per segment. The sum of the scores for each endoscopic variable ranged from 0 to 15, except for stenosis, where it varied between 0 and 11; total score ranged from 0 to 56. A lower score indicated better outcome. Endoscopic remission was defined as SES-CD ≤4 and at least two-point reduction versus Baseline of Study M13-740 and no subscore >1 in any individual variable.
Measured: Month 12
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission at Month 12
Clinical remission was defined as average daily stool frequency ≤1.5 and not worse than Baseline and average daily abdominal pain score ≤1.0 and not worse than baseline in Study M13-740. Abdominal pain was assessed using the CDAI component "abdominal pain" rated as none [0], mild [1], moderate [2], and severe [3]) (cumulative total over the past 7 days) as per the CDAI to calculate abdominal pain score; total score range from 0 to 105.
Measured: Month 12

CDAI is a measure of clinical response and remission that includes 8 variables encompassing both participant-reported (symptoms, general well-being) and objective (medication usage, laboratory variables, presence of abdominal mass or complications, and weight) variables. For symptoms scores, participants kept a diary card and the daily symptom scores were summed for the week. Each item in the CDAI was assigned a pre-specified factor to calculate the subtotals, and the subtotals of the items were totaled to produce the CDAI. Higher CDAI scores indicated greater disease activity, with a lower limit of 0 and no set upper limit. Total score range: 0 to 600. CDAI remission was defined as CDAI score <150.

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants Achieving Endoscopic Remission at Month 12
Time frame: Month 12
Endoscopic remission was based on Simplified Endoscopic Score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD). The SES-CD assessed the size of mucosal ulcers, the ulcerated surface, the endoscopic extension and the presence of stenosis. SES-CD was based on endoscopic findings in 5 bowel segments (Ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon/sigmoid, and rectum). Each item was scored 0 to 3 per segment. The sum of the scores for each endoscopic variable ranged from 0 to 15, except for stenosis, where it varied between 0 and 11; total score ranged from 0 to 56. A lower score indicated better outcome. Endoscopic remission was defined as SES-CD ≤4 and at least two-point reduction versus Baseline of Study M13-740 and no subscore >1 in any individual variable.
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission at Month 12
Time frame: Month 12
Clinical remission was defined as average daily stool frequency ≤1.5 and not worse than Baseline and average daily abdominal pain score ≤1.0 and not worse than baseline in Study M13-740. Abdominal pain was assessed using the CDAI component "abdominal pain" rated as none [0], mild [1], moderate [2], and severe [3]) (cumulative total over the past 7 days) as per the CDAI to calculate abdominal pain score; total score range from 0 to 105.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing ABT-494 in people with Crohn's Disease (CD), run by AbbVie at 61 sites in 18 countries.
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 2 inclusion and 3 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 13 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 61 sites in United States, Canada, France, Germany, Israel and 13 more countries. 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. 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 13 Aug 2026). 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?
Percentage of Participants Achieving Endoscopic Remission at Month 12 (time frame: Month 12). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02782663, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 13 Aug 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
