discontinuation of prohibited medications
3. A diagnosis of Crohn’s disease for > 4 months duration with small bowel and/or
colonic involvement
4. Confirmation of Crohn’s disease established by visualisation of the gastrointestinal
tract within the 12 months prior to screening or by screening endoscopy at study
entry. Acceptable methods for gastrointestinal tract visualisation include, but are not
limited to endoscopy, capsule endoscopy, MRI or barium X-ray. Subjects without
visualisation of the gastrointestinal tract within 12 months of screening must be
willing to undergo endoscopy within the screening period
5. History of inadequate response and/or intolerance/adverse event leading to
discontinuation of at least one of the following treatments for Crohn’s disease:
corticosteroids, immunosuppressants
6. Current evidence of moderately-to-severely active disease characterised by a CDAI
score of ≥220 to ≤450 at Baseline (Week 0) [Criterion for Randomisation]
7. Confirmation of current active Crohn’s disease by either of the following [Criterion for Randomisation]:
a. Luminal ulceration visualised by Screening endoscopy and as adjudicated by central endoscopy reader, or
b. Elevated CRP (≥ 3 mg/L, the upper limit of normal (ULN) for the highly sensitive CRP test) plus elevated faecal calprotectin (> 200 μg/g stool) at Screening
8. Stable doses of permitted concomitant medications or having previously received, but are not currently receiving, medications for Crohn’s disease. Please refer to Section 5.5.1 Permitted Medications and Non Drug Therapies.
9. Demonstrated ability to comply with Crohn’s disease symptom recording using the IVRS; to be eligible for randomisation subject must complete recording of symptoms for at least 8 consecutive days prior to the randomisation/baseline visit (Week 0).
10. Females of child-bearing potential (FCBP) must be sexually inactive or commit to use of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% per year when used consistently and correctly and, when applicable, in accordance with the product label, for the duration of this study as defined by the following:
Contraceptive Methods with a Failure Rate of < 1%
• Abstinence from penile-vaginal intercourse, when this is the female’s preferred and usual lifestyle
• Oral contraceptive, either combined or progestogen alone
• Injectable progestogen
• Implants of etonogestrel or levonorgestrel
• Estrogenic vaginal ring
• Percutaneous contraceptive patches
• Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) that meets the <1% failure rate as stated in the product label
• Male partner sterilization prior to the female subject's entry into the study, and this male is the sole partner for that subject. The information on the male sterility can come from the site personnel’s: review of subject’s medical records; medical examination of the subject and/or semen analysis; or interview with the subject on his medical history.
• Male condom combined with a vaginal spermicide (foam, gel, film, cream, or suppository)
• Male condom combined with a female diaphragm, either with or without a vaginal spermicide (foam, gel, film, cream, or suppository)
These allowed methods of contraception are only effective when used consistently, correctly and in accordance with the product label. The Investigator is responsible for ensuring subjects understand how to properly use these methods of contraception. This list does not apply to FCBP with same sex partners, when this is their preferred and usual lifestyle.
Female subjects should not be enrolled if they are pregnant or lactating or if they plan to become pregnant during the time of study participation. A serum pregnancy test is required of all FCBP at Screening. In addition, a urine pregnancy test will be performed
at the Randomisation visit (Week 0) and at Weeks 4, 8, 12 and at the Early Withdrawal or Follow-up visits if applicable.
Country specific inclusion criterion for subjects in France: A subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if either affiliated to or a beneficiary of a social security category. |
