E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the clinical efficacy of certolizumab pegol 400mg in patients suffering from Crohn's disease administered subcutaneously at Weeks 0, 2 and 4 in two different settings (either at hospital or at-home) evaluated by clinical response at week 6 |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess : • the clinical efficacy of certolizumab pegol in patients suffering from Crohn's disease administered in two different settings (either at hospital or at-home) evaluated by clinical response at week 14. • the impact of the self-administration in each setting (either at the hospital or at home) on the clinical efficacy in patients suffereing from Crohn's disease evaluated by the clinical response at Week 14 • the clinical efficacy of certolizumab pegol in patients suffering from Crohn's disease administered in two different settings (either at hospital or at-home) evaluated by clinical remission at week 6 and 14. • the overall clinical safety and tolerability of certolizumab pegol in patients suffering from Crohn's disease administered in two different settings (either at hospital or at-home) • the impact of the self administration on the safety in patients suffering from Crohn's disease in each setting (either at the hospital or at home) |
