EPANOVA in Crohn's Disease, Study 1 (EPIC-1)
A One Year, Multi-center, Randomised, Double-blind Placebo-controlled Parallel-groups Assessment of the Tolerability, Safety and Efficacy of Epanova Soft Gelatin Capsules 4g/Day for Maintenance of Remission of Crohn's Disease.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the ability of EpanovaTM Soft Gelatin Capsules at a total daily dose of 4g (4x 1g capsules) to maintain remission (Crohn's Disease Activity Index CDAI < 150) in CD patients in whom remission, stable for at least three months and no longer than one year, has been induced by corticosteroids, azathioprine/6-MP, methotrexate, 5-ASA or antibiotics.
Secondary objectives are to assess the:
efficacy of Epanova versus placebo by Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI), Investigator and Subject Global Ratings, employment status and use of CD related medical visits in subjects with CD in remission
safety and tolerability of Epanova
ability of Epanova to maintain the quality of life of CD patients in remission
