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

- In remission for at least 3 months, but no longer than 12 months; remission being defined as meeting both of the two conditions: (1) clinically in remission with a CDAI of less than 150 and (2) off steroids and/or immunosuppressants for at least 3 months, if remission had been induced with such medications
Exclusion Criteria:
- Intolerance of omega-3 fatty acids or known allergy to fish or fish products

- Chronic use of narcotics for pain control (opiates for diarrhoea are acceptable)
- Documented short bowel syndrome, ostomy
- Need for bowel surgery for CD, bowel obstruction or resection in past 3 months (a subject who had a bowel resection in the past must have had at least one relapse after the surgery)
- Malignancy and/or clinically significant impairment in cardiac, liver or renal function, CNS, pulmonary, hematological, immunological, vascular and gastrointestinal disease in addition to CD
