Background summary
Crohn*s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition involving the
gastrointestinal tract. In Europe the prevalence of Crohn*s disease is
estimated up to 214 cases per 100,000 persons. Approximately 80% of patients
with Crohn*s disease will require at least one surgery related to the disease
at some point in time. Newer treatments for Crohn*s disease, such as anti-TNF
antibodies, have improved standard of care for patients however there remains a
significant unmet medical need for patients who do not respond well to these.
This clinical study with ABT-494 is for patients who are unable to tolerate
antiTNF therapies and/or have had an insufficient response to treatment with an
antiTMF therapy. These patients currently have limited options for treatment,
and may be subjected to repeated courses of corticosteroids, which are
associated with a wide range of toxic effects affecting multiple organs.
Study objective
The objectives of this study are to determine the efficacy and safety of
multiple doses of ABT-494 versus placebo and to assess the pharmacokinetics
(PK) of ABT-494 following oral administration in subjects with moderately to
severely active Crohn's Disease with a history of inadequate response to or
intolerance to Immunomodulators or anti-TNF therapy.
Study design
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled
study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and PK of ABT-494 as induction
therapy in subjects with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease with a
history of inadequate response to or intolerance to anti-TNF therapy. The study
will allow enrollment of up to 35% of subjects with primary non-response to
prior anti-TNF treatment. Approximately 210 adult subjects with moderately to
severely active Crohn's disease, with evidence of mucosal inflammation, defined
by:
• SES-CD >= 6, (or SES-CD >= 4 for patients with disease limited to the ileum),
and
• CDAI >= 220 and <= 450, and
• Average daily liquid/soft stool frequency >= 2.5 or average daily abdominal
pain score >= 2.0.
Will be enrolled at approximately 125 sites worldwide. SES-CD score will be
confirmed by a central reader. Subjects who meet all of the inclusion criteria
and none of the exclusion criteria will be enrolled into the study.
Intervention
Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1:1:1:1 ratio to receive one of the six
treatment groups (double-blind ABT-494 induction doses or matching placebo).
Double-Blind Induction Doses (week 1-16, see protocol figure 1 study design
schemetic):
Group 1: ABT-494 3 mg BID
Group 2: ABT-494 6 mg BID
Group 3: ABT-494 12 mg BID
Group 4: ABT-494 24 mg BID
Group 5: ABT-494 24 mg QD
Group 6: Placebo
Double-Blind Extension Period Doses (re-randomization, Week 16- 52, see
protocol figure 1 study design schemetic):
Group 1: ABT-494 3 mg BID
Group 2: ABT-494 12 mg BID
Group 3: ABT-494 24 mg QD
Subjects who are considered by the investigator to have not achieved meaningful
symptomatic relief and meet the criteria for inadequate response at or after
Week 20 will be eligible to receive the open-label therapy
Open-Label Extension Period Doses (Week 20-52, see protocol figure 2 study
design schemetic for OLE):
Group 1: ABT-494 24 mg QD
Group 2: ABT-494 24 mg BID
Mode of Administration: Oral
Study burden and risks
Patients may or may not receive any direct medical benefit from being in this
study. Their condition may get better, it may get worse, or it may stay the
same. Information learned from this study may help in the future to better
treat patients
