E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of PRV-6527 for 12 weeks in the treatment of moderately to severely active CD, as measured by the Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives are to evaluate the effect of PRV-6527 for 12 weeks on:
Clinical
• Colonic and ileal mucosa, based upon the Simple Endoscopic Score for CD (SES-CD)
• Clinical symptoms, based upon the frequency of diarrheal stools and abdominal pain
• Clinical symptoms, based upon the PRO-2 portion of CDAI
Safety
• Safety and tolerability of PRV-6527 in subjects with active CD
Pharmacokinetics (PK)
• Trough plasma concentrations of PRV-6527 and its active metabolites, M2 and M7 and their sum, in subjects with active CD
Pharmacodynamics (PD)
• PD effects measured by fecal calprotectin (FC) and ultrasensitive C-reactive protein (CRP) |

Male subjects must meet the following criterion: A man who is sexually active with a woman of childbearing potential and has not had a vasectomy or otherwise surgically sterile must agree to highly effective birth control for their female partner as outlined above and must use condoms with spermicide during sexual intercourse, and this must continue for 3 months after receiving the last dose of study drug. All men must also not donate sperm during the study and for 3 months after receiving the last dose of study drug.
