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, prebaseline 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 in selected countries or sites (12 to 17) with a body
weight ≥ 45 kg.
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.
2. 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.
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 systemic CD treatments:
corticosteroids, immunomodulators, biologic therapies (eg,
ustekinumab, TNFα antagonists, or vedolizumab)
7. If the subject is taking the following background therapies for CD, a
stable dose must be maintained throughout the study 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/per 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. Highly 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. |
