Phase II Study of HMPL-004 in Subjects With Crohn's Disease

Double-blind, Randomized, Multicenter, Placebo-controlled Phase II Study of Efficacy and Safety of HMPL-004 in Subjects With Active Moderate Crohn's Disease

A double blind, randomized, multi-center, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMPL-004 in patients with active moderate Crohn's Disease.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Crohn's Disease
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: HMPL-004; Drug: Placebo

Detailed Description

This was a double-blind, randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of oral HMPL-004 in subjects with active moderate Crohn's disease (CD) - Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) 220 to 400 - on stable doses of CD medications who had not received anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNF-α) for at least 3 months prior to start of treatment. HMPL-004 (or placebo) was added to the subject's existing CD medications. Subjects were observed for an 8-week treatment period and a subsequent 4-week follow-up period.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
CDAI Clinical Response -100 at Week 8	Percentage of subjects with CDAI clinical response -100 at Week 8 based on ITT population using the WOCF method to impute missing CDAI scores at Week 8. Clinical response -100 was defined as CDAI score decrease of ≥100 points from baseline in subjects who had no change in concomitant medications for Crohn's disease except for steroids, which could be tapered after Week 8. The CDAI consists of eight variables, including Liquid or very soft stools, Abdominal pain, General well-being, Features of extra-intestinal disease, Oplates for diarrhea, Abdominal mass, Hematocrit and Body weight below standard, each weighted according to its ability to be predictive of disease activity. The total score ranges from 0 to over 600 with higher scores indicating higher disease activity or worse outcome.	8 weeks
