Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the rapidity of onset of clinical response to adalimumab therapy in patients with luminal Crohn's disease;Secondary Objective: ?To evaluate the improvement of health-related quality of life and fatigue to adalimumab therapy in patients with Crohn's disease ? To evaluate the improvement in analytic and fecal markers of inflammation in patients with Crohn's disease treated with adalimumab in the short term ? To evaluate the correlation of a rapid response at day 4 and week 1 with remission at week 12;Primary end point(s): Proportion of patients with clinical response at day 4. Clinical response is defined as a decrease of at least 3 points in the Harvey-Bradshaw Index, at day 4;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 4 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): ?Proportion of patients with clinical response at week 1. Clinical response is defined as a decrease of at least 3 points in the Harvey-Bradshaw Index, at week 1 ?Proportion of patients with clinical remission at weeks 2 and 4 (Harvey-Bradshaw Index <5) ?Change in Quality of Life, assessed with the EQ-5D and IBDQ36 questionnaires from baseline to week 12 ? Change in Fatigue, assessed through the Fatigue Impact Scale for Daily Use (D-FIS), from baseline to week 12 ?Change in analytic markers of inflammation from baseline to week 12: hemogram, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), fecal calprotectin and coagulation (including fibrinogen) ?Statistical analysis will be performed to evaluate the correlation between a clinical response at day 4 and week 1 with remission at week 12;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 1, 2, 4 and 12 | — |
