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.

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
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission At Week 48
Time Frame: At Week 48
Clinical remission is defined as less than (<) 150-point reduction in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score. The CDAI is a validated multi-item measure of severity of illness derived as a weighted sum of 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables. The CDAI score was assessed by collecting information on 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables: extra-intestinal manifestations, abdominal mass, weight, hematocrit, total number of liquid stools, abdominal pain/cramping, use of antidiarrheal drug(s), and/or opiates, and general well-being. In general, CDAI score ranges from 0 to approximately 600; higher score indicates higher disease activities.
At Week 48

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
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Response At Weeks 12, 24 and 48
Time Frame: At Weeks 12, 24 and 48
Clinical response is defined as greater than or equal to (>=) 100-point reduction from baseline in CDAI score. The CDAI is a validated multi-item measure of severity of illness derived as a weighted sum of 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables. The CDAI score was assessed by collecting information on 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables: extra-intestinal manifestations, abdominal mass, weight, hematocrit, total number of liquid stools, abdominal pain/cramping, use of antidiarrheal drug(s), and/or opiates, and general well-being. In general, CDAI score ranges from 0 to approximately 600; higher score indicates higher disease activities.
At Weeks 12, 24 and 48
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission At Weeks 12 and 24
Time Frame: At Weeks 12 and 24
Clinical remission is defined as < 150-point reduction in CDAI score. The CDAI is a validated multi-item measure of severity of illness derived as a weighted sum of 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables. The CDAI score was assessed by collecting information on 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables: extra-intestinal manifestations, abdominal mass, weight, hematocrit, total number of liquid stools, abdominal pain/cramping, use of antidiarrheal drug(s), and/or opiates, and general well-being. In general, CDAI score ranges from 0 to approximately 600; higher score indicates higher disease activities.
At Weeks 12 and 24
Percentage of Participants Achieving Endoscopic Response
Time Frame: At Weeks 24 and 48
Endoscopic response is defined as >= 50% improvement from baseline in Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) score. The SES-CD is based on the evaluation of 4 variables: (ulcers - scored according to size, proportion of the surface covered by ulcers according to extent, proportion of affected surface with any other lesions according to extent, stenosis [single or multiple, and whether the colonoscopy could pass through the narrow lumen]), each considered in 5 segments of the bowel (the ileum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and rectum). An overall total SES-CD score is derived from the sum of all the component scores and can range from 0 to 60. Higher scores indicating severe disease.
At Weeks 24 and 48
Percentage of Participants Achieving Endoscopic Remission
Time Frame: At Weeks 24 and 48
Endoscopic remission is defined as SES-CD less than or equal to (<=) 2 in any individual component. The SES-CD is based on the evaluation of 4 variables: (ulcers - scored according to size, proportion of the surface covered by ulcers according to extent, proportion of affected surface with any other lesions according to extent, stenosis [single or multiple, and whether the colonoscopy could pass through the narrow lumen]), each considered in 5 segments of the bowel (the ileum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and rectum). An overall total SES-CD score is derived from the sum of all the component scores and can range from 0 to 60. Higher scores indicating severe disease.
