E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Males and females aged ≥18 and ≤80 years who have a diagnosis of moderate to severely active CD, confirmed by endoscopy or radiologic evaluation, for more than 4 months with evidence of mucosal ulceration. Patients must have all of the following:
a. CDAI score of ≥220 and ≤450
b. A diagnosis of CD confirmed by ileocolonoscopy during Screening
c. Endoscopic documentation of ulceration at Screening corresponding to a score of 2 or 3 in at least one of the five segments of the colon on the Ulcerated Surface subscore of the SES-CD
2. Anti-TNF naïve patients or previously treated with infliximab or any other anti TNF agent (except adalimumab) who had initially responded and who meet one of the following criteria:
a. Responded and developed secondary resistance due confirmed anti-infliximab ADA formation, which caused infliximab depletion
b. Responded and became intolerant
3. Willing to undergo up to 3 endoscopies
4. For participants of reproductive potential, a reliable means of contraception has to be used throughout trial participation.
5. Signed and dated written informed consent.
|

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Ulcerative colitis or indeterminate colitis
2. Symptomatic known obstructive strictures
3. Surgical bowel resection performed within 6 months prior to Screening or planned resection at any time while in the trial
4. Ostomy or ileoanal pouch
5. Short bowel syndrome

|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Efficacy:
• Proportion of patients in each treatment group with a clinical response (CDAI decrease of ≥70 compared with baseline)
• Proportion of patients in each treatment group in clinical remission (CDAI <150)
Safety:
• Proportion of patients with AEs, SAEs, and AESIs (e.g., serious infections, allergic reactions, abscesses, fistula, strictures)
• Proportion of patients with infections/serious infections (seriousness of infection defined as requirement of i.v. antibiotics for treatment and/or meeting seriousness criteria to be qualified as an SAE)
• Proportion of patients who experience hypersensitivity reactions
• Proportion of patients who experience DILI
• Proportion of patients with injection-site reactions
|
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Efficacy
• CDAI decrease of ≥70 compared with baseline at Week 24
• CDAI <150 at Week 24
Safety:
- AEs collected from time of informed consent. AEs continuing at EoT Visit must be followed to resolution of follow-up as agreed by the investigator and medical monitor. New adverse events will be collected until end of 10 week safety follow-up period. |
