SpesolimabDrug
Also called BI 655130
Spesolimab
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Spesolimab | Experimental | During the maintenance treatment period 300 milligram (mg) Spesolimab was given by subcutaneous injection at Week 0 and then every 4 weeks for a total duration of 89 weeks.
Patient with a confirmed fistula relapse received a single intravenous infusion of 1200 mg Spesolimab followed by an intensified subcutaneous spesolimab maintenance dosing of 600 mg Spesolimab every 4 weeks. Receives: Drug: Spesolimab |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Exposure Adjusted Rate of Patients Reporting a Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) During Maintenance Treatment
Exposure adjusted rate of patients reporting a treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) during maintenance treatment. The incidence rate was calculated as Incidence rate = 100 * number of patients with TEAE / Total TEAE-specific time at risk. Where the Time at risk (for patients who experienced a TEAE) was calculated as Time at Risk (in subject years) = ((date of onset of AE - study drug start date) +1 day) / 365.25 and Time at risk (for patients who did not experience a TEAE) Time at Risk (in subject years) = ((date of the end of time at risk - study drug start date) +1 day) / 365.25.
Measured: First dose of Spesolimab in this trial through to the last dose of spesolimab + 16 weeks, approximately 104 weeks.
Secondary outcomes (2)
Proportion of Patients With Perianal Fistula Remission
Proportion of patients with perianal fistula remission at weeks 48 and 96. Perianal fistula remission was defined as closure of all external openings, i.e. no drainage and discharge despite gentle finger compression, that were open and draining at baseline of the parent trial and closure of all external openings that were newly emerged during the parent trial or this trial.
Measured: Baseline, week 48 and 96 of treatment.
Proportion of Patients With Perianal Fistula Response
Proportion of patients with perianal fistula response at weeks 48 and 96. Perianal fistula response was defined as closure and no drainage and discharge despite gentle finger compression of at least 50% in number of external openings regardless of the onset time, compared with the number of open and drainage fistulas at baseline of the parent trial.
Measured: Baseline, week 48 and 96 of treatment.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Spesolimab in people with Crohn Disease, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 7 sites in 5 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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 sites in Belgium, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, South Korea. 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 5 Nov 2024). 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?
Exposure Adjusted Rate of Patients Reporting a Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) During Maintenance Treatment (time frame: First dose of Spesolimab in this trial through to the last dose of spesolimab + 16 weeks, approximately 104 weeks.). 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 24 Feb 2025.
