Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

IBD patients in need of intensified adalimumab treatment will be randomized to receive 40mg sc weekly or 80mg sc every two weeks, and after 6 weeks of treatment each of the groups will be allocated to the other dosing regime. Adalimumab blood levels and other features such as specific drug antibodies and disease activity parameters will be compared between both groups.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adalimumab trough level
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Drug levels will be measured during 12 weeks of treatment
12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Antibodies to Adalimumab (ADA)
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Antibodies to Adalimumab will be tested for 12 weeks of treatment
12 weeks
Clinical response for Ulcerative Colitis
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI) (for UC) refers to disease symptoms during the previous week. It is composed of six domains. After recording, the clinician-based SCCAI is able to categorize two types of patients: patients with inactive disease (SCCAI<5) and patients with active disease (SCCAI≥5).
12 weeks
Clinical response for Ulcerative colitis
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Truelove Index (for UC), is composed of 6 variables. Clinical remission was defined as 1 or 2 stools per day without blood, absence of fever or tachycardia, a normal hemoglobin or "returning towards normal," a normal ESR or "returning towards normal," and gaining weight.
12 weeks
Clinical response for Crohn´s Disease
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Harvey-Bradshaw Index (for CD) considers five parameters. For each parameter a specific score is assigned. A score below 5 is considered as clinical remission. A reduction of 3 points is considered as relevant to define clinical response.
12 weeks
Fecal calprotectin
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Fecal calprotectin levels will be tested during the study
12 weeks
Blood acute phase reactants
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Blood acute phase reactants will be tested during the study
12 weeks
QOL
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Quality of life will be analysed using the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
