A Study on the Safety of TAK-279 and Whether it Can Reduce Inflammation in the Bowel of Participants With Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease

August 25, 2026 updated by: Takeda

A Phase 2b, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind Induction, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Ranging Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral TAK-279 in Subjects With Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease

Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting condition causing inflammation that can affect any part of the gut. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAK-279 versus placebo in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). The main aim of this study is to learn if the 3 different doses of TAK-279 reduce bowel inflammation and ulcers in the bowel compared to the placebo after 12 weeks of treatment. Another aim is to compare any medical problems that participants have when they take TAK-279 or placebo and how well the participants tolerate medical problems. An endoscopy will be used to check the bowel for inflammation.

The participants will be treated with TAK-279 for 52 weeks (1 year).

During the study, participants will visit their study clinic 15 times.

Detailed Description

The drug being tested in this study is TAK-279. TAK-279 is being tested to treat participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. The study will look at the efficacy and safety of TAK-279.

The study will enroll approximately 268 participants. During the Induction Period participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following treatment groups in a ratio of 1:1:1:1 to receive TAK-279 or placebo which will remain undisclosed to the participant and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need):

  1. TAK-279 Dose 1
  2. TAK-279 Dose 2
  3. TAK-279 Dose 3
  4. Placebo

This multi-center trial will be conducted globally. The overall study duration is approximately 60 weeks including a 4-week safety follow-up period.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Response Based on Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
Endoscopic response is defined by decrease in SES-CD >50% from baseline (or for participants with isolated ileal disease, SES-CD <=4 or at least a 2-point reduction from baseline). SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables (the intestinal surface affected by ulcers, the intestinal surface affected by other inflammatory lesions, the presence of ulcers, and the presence of narrowing).
Week 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission Based on the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
Clinical remission is defined as a CDAI score of <150 points.
Week 12
Percentage of Participants With no Bowel Urgency at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
Bowel urgency is assessed using a 1-item daily patient diary that asks participants to indicate if they had an urgent bowel movement (when they felt the need to rush to the toilet to avoid an accident) in the past 24 hours. Response options, "Yes" or "No" will be coded as numeric values.
Week 12
Change from Baseline in Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) as per IBDQ Total Score at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12
The IBDQ is a 32-item questionnaire that measures 4 dimensions: bowel function, emotional status, systemic symptoms, and social function. Within dimensions, each question will be assessed on a 7-point Likert scale. Each domain score is the sum of 8 responses each ranging from 1 to 7, where 1 indicates worst function and 7 the best. The total score ranges from 32 to 224, with higher scores representing better quality of life.
Baseline to Week 12
Change from Baseline in Fatigue as per Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) Score at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12
FACIT-Fatigue questionnaire contains 13 fatigue-related questions. The responses to the 13 items on the FACIT-Fatigue questionnaire are each measured on a 5-point Likert scale, where 0=Not at all, 1=A little bit, 2=Somewhat, 3=Quite a bit and 4=Very much. The total score ranges from 0 to 52. High scores represent less fatigue.
Baseline to Week 12
Percentage of Participants With a Clinical Response Based on the CDAI at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
Clinical response is defined as >=100-point decrease from Baseline in CDAI score.
Week 12
Percentage of Participants Achieving Endoscopic Remission Based on SES-CD at Week 12.
Time Frame: Week 12
Endoscopic remission as per SES-CD is defined as SES-CD score <=4 or <=2 for ileal disease, no subscore >1.
Week 12
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission in 2-item Patient-reported Outcome Measure (PRO2) at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
Clinical remission based on PRO2 is defined as average daily liquid or very soft stool frequency (SF) score <=2.8 and not worse than baseline and average daily abdominal pain (AP) score <=1 and not worse than baseline.
Week 12
Percentage of Participants With a Clinical Response in PRO2 at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
Clinical response based on PRO2 is defined as >=30% decrease in average daily very soft or liquid stools and/ or >=30% decrease in average AP from baseline.
Week 12
Percentage of Participants With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) Total Score >=170 at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
The IBDQ is a 32-item questionnaire that measures 4 dimensions: bowel function, emotional status, systemic symptoms, and social function. Within dimensions, each question will be assessed on a 7-point Likert scale. Each domain score is the sum of 8 responses each ranging from 1 to 7, where 1 indicates worst function and 7 the best. The total score ranges from 32 to 224, with higher scores representing better quality of life.

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

YES

IPD Plan Description

Takeda provides access to the de-identified individual participant data (IPD) for eligible studies to aid qualified researchers in addressing legitimate scientific objectives (Takeda's data sharing commitment is available on https://clinicaltrials.takeda.com/takedas-commitment?commitment=5). These IPDs will be provided in a secure research environment following approval of a data sharing request, and under the terms of a data sharing agreement.

IPD Sharing Access Criteria

IPD from eligible studies will be shared with qualified researchers according to the criteria and process described on https://vivli.org/ourmember/takeda/. For approved requests, the researchers will be provided access to anonymized data (to respect patient privacy in line with applicable laws and regulations) and with information necessary to address the research objectives under the terms of a data sharing agreement.
