E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Efficacy Objectives
Induction Phase (IP)
• To independently evaluate the efficacy of etrolizumab dose regimens compared with placebo in inducing clinical remission and endoscopic improvement at the end of the Induction Phase (Week 14)
Maintenance Phase (MP)
• To independently evaluate the efficacy of etrolizumab compared with placebo in achieving clinical remission and endoscopic improvement at 1 year of maintenance treatment (Week 66), for patients who achieved a Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI) 70 response (defined as a decrease of at least 70 points from baseline CDAI) at Week 14
Safety Objectives
• To evaluate the overall safety and tolerability of etrolizumab compared with placebo during Induction and Maintenance Phases of therapy
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Evaluate in IP the efficacy of etrolizumab compared with placebo:
•in achieving clinical remission at Week 6
•in achieving an SES-CD ≤4, with no segment having a subcategory score that is >1, at Week 14
• in achieving a reduction of CD signs and symptoms
Evaluate in MP the efficacy of etrolizumab compared with placebo:
•in maintaining clinical remission at Week 66 for patients who achieved clinical remission at Week 14
•in achieving corticosteroid-free clinical remission at Week 66
•in maintaining endoscopic improvement at Week 66 for patients who achieved endoscopic improvement at Week 14
•in achieving a SES CD ≤4, with no segment having a subcategory score that is >1, at Week 66
•in achieving durable clinical remission during 1 year of maintenance therapy
•in change of CD signs and symptoms from baseline to Week 66
•corticosteroid-free clinical remission at Week 66 in patients who were receiving corticosteroids at baseline |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
The main protocol contains all details of the sub-study. There are no separate documents (with title, date and version) for the substudy. The objective of the substudy is to determine the relationship between etrolizumab exposure and receptor occupancy in peripheral blood in patients with CD. To achieve this objective, it is planned to enroll approximately 150 patients in the substudy. Blood sampling for the PK/PD substudy will continue in the Maintenance Phase. Patients in all cohorts will provide blood samples for population PK analysis and PD characterization. |
|
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |

|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
