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 |
A twenty-four (24)-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring substudy will be conducted on a total of approximately 75 adult subjects (~50 active and ~25 placebo subjects) at selected sites, with assessments at 24 hours pre-baseline (ie, between Screening and before Day 1) and 24 hours post-dose on Day 8. At these participating sites, monitoring will be hourly during the day and every two hours at night. Heart rate will also be assessed throughout the 24 hour period at both time points (ie, pre-baseline and day 8). Paper diary will be used to collect information on all subjects during the 24 hour period for symptoms associated with changes in blood pressure. |
|
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male or female subjects aged 12 to 75 years (at Screening), inclusive with adolescents (12 to 17) with a body weight ≥ 45 kg
2. Note: Countries or sites with local restrictions that prohibit enrollment of adolescents (aged 12 to 17 years) will only enroll subjects who are 18 years of age or older. Enrollment of adolescent subjects will begin only after the applicable regulatory requirements for enrolling subjects in that age group have been satisfied and the necessary health authority agreements have been granted. Where national or regional guidelines for the definition of adolescence differ from the definition stated above, the national or regional guidelines may be used to determine eligibility.
Subjects should not have any constraints under local regulations and must provide written informed consent prior to any study-related procedures, and have the ability to comply with the Table of Events. For adolescents, a parent/legal guardian of the adolescent must sign the informed consent form. In addition, adolescent subjects must also agree to participate in the study by signing an assent form. A parent or guardian must be willing to supervise adherence to the protocol requirements. Adolescent subjects who reach the legal age of consent while participating in the study will be asked to sign an ICF themselves to acknowledge their willingness to continue in the study
3. Subject has signs and symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of CD for at least 3 months (prior to first IP administration). The diagnosis should be confirmed by clinical and endoscopic evidence and corroborated by a histology report. (Note: endoscopy and histopathology confirmation may be obtained during Screening if no prior report is readily available).
4. Subject has met each of the following 2 criteria:
a CDAI score ≥ 220 and ≤ 450
an average daily stool frequency ≥ 4 points and/or an abdominal pain of ≥ 2 points
5. Subject has a SES-CD score of ≥ 6 (or SES-CD ≥ 4 in subjects with isolated ileal disease).
6. Subject has an inadequate response or loss of response to or is intolerant of at least 1 of
the following CD treatments: corticosteroids, immunomodulators, biologic therapy (eg, ustekinumab, TNFα antagonists, or vedolizumab)
7. If the subject is taking the following background therapies for CD, a
stable dose must be maintained as indicated below:
oral aminosalicylates (eg, mesalamine, sulfasalazine, olsalazine, balsalazide) with a stable dose for at least 3 weeks prior to Screening endoscopy
prednisone (doses ≤ 20 mg per day) or equivalent with a stable dose for at least 2 weeks prior to Screening endoscopy
budesonide therapy (doses ≤ 9 mg per day) or beclomethasone doses ≤ 5 mg/day at a stable dose for at least 2 weeks prior to the Screening endoscopy
8. Subject at high risk (ie, family history, CD duration) for colonic malignancy has documented evidence of having had a surveillance colonoscopy within the last 2 years or according to local and national medical guidelines to evaluate for polyps, dysplasia, or malignancy. If there is no recent history of surveillance colonoscopy, this can be done as part of the colonoscopy performed during Screening. Any visualized adenomatous polyps must be removed and any suspicious lesion confirmed free of cancer and/or dysplasia prior to randomization.
9. Female subjects of childbearing potential (FCPB):
Note: For the purposes of this study, a female patient is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is ≥ 12 years of age or has reached menarche, whichever occurred first, and 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy (the surgical removal of the uterus) or bilateral oophorectomy (the surgical removal of both ovaries) or 2) has not been postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (that is, has had menses at any time during the preceding 24 consecutive months).
Must agree to practice a highly effective method of contraception throughout the study until completion of the 90-day Safety Follow-Up Visit. Examples of effective methods of contraception are those that alone or in combination result in a failure rate of a Pearl Index of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly.
Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods), withdrawal (coitus interruptus), spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhoea method are not acceptable methods of contraception. Counseling about pregnancy precautions and the potential risks of fetal exposure must be conducted for female subjects of childbearing potential. The Investigator will educate all FCBP about the different options of contraceptive methods or abstinence at Screening and Day 1, as appropriate. The FCBP’s chosen form of contraception must be effective by the time she is randomized into the study.
10. Subjects must have documentation of positive varicella zoster virus (VZV) immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody status or complete VZV vaccination at least 30 days prior to randomization. |
