E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To induce clinical response (CDAI decrease from baseline ≥ 100 points) and/or remission (CDAI <150) following 12 weeks of treatment with one of two active doses of GSK1605786A for qualification of subjects for enrolment into a follow-on 52-week maintenance study (CCX114157). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
In subjects with moderately-to-severely active Crohn’s disease:
• To assess induction of response with two doses of GSK1605786A over 12 weeks.
• To assess induction of remission with two doses of GSK1605786A over 12 weeks.
• To evaluate the safety of GSK1605786A over a 12-week treatment period.
• To investigate the effect of GSK1605786A on biomarkers of inflammation [C-reactive protein (CRP) and faecal calprotectin].
• To explore the dose relationships between GSK1605786A plasma concentration and clinical response endpoints.
• To explore potential relationships between genetic variants and GSK1605786A efficacy and safety endpoints. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Subjects eligible for enrolment in the study must meet all of the following criteria:
1. Male or female subjects aged ≥18 years
2. Written informed consent prior to any of the screening procedures including discontinuation of prohibited medications
3. Crohn’s disease for >4 months duration, which has been confirmed by diagnosis prior to study entry, with small bowel and/or colonic involvement
4. Current evidence of moderately-to-severely active disease defined by a CDAI score of ≥220–≤450 at baseline (Week 0)
5. Confirmation of active disease by i. Elevated CRP (≥3mg/L, the upper limit of normal (ULN) for the highly sensitive CRP test) at screening or ii. Elevated levels of faecal calprotectin (>200μg/g stool) at Screening or iii. Ileocolonoscopy with documentation of a minimum of 3 nonanastomotic ulcerations+ (each > 5mm in diameter) consistent with CD, within 3 months prior to Screening
6. 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 or immunosuppressants
7. Stable doses of permitted concomitant medications +++ or having previously received, but are not currently receiving, medications for Crohn’s disease. The number of subjects who have received treatment in the past with an anti-TNF for Crohn’s disease and discontinued due to loss or lack of efficacy will be limited to ~50% of those randomised.
8. Demonstrated ability to comply with Crohn’s disease symptom recording using the IVRS.
9. Female subjects of child-bearing potential (FCBP) are eligible if she is:
a) Not pregnant or nursing
b) Committed 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 and, if applicable, the follow-on maintenance study, CCX114157, 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 sterilisation prior to the female subject's entry into the study, and this male is the sole partner for that subject.
• 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.
+ Aphthous ulcerations are not sufficient for confirmation of disease activity. Ileocolonoscopy must be prior to study entry and is not included as a study-related procedure.
++Based on the subject’s medical history, the investigator will make the determination of the reason for discontinuation and will record this information in the eCRF.
+++Refer to Section 5.6.1 Concomitant Medications and Non-Drug Therapies for detailed information on permitted therapies.
French 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. |
