Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: 1. To assess the safety and tolerability of PRA023 following 12-weeks of induction therapy 2. To compare the efficacy of PRA023 vs placebo for induction of clinical remission at Week 12 ;Secondary Objective: Compare the efficacy of PRA023 vs placebo for induction of: - endoscopic improvement - clinical response - symptomatic remission - histologic remission - histologic-endoscopic mucosal improvement - mucosal healing Compare the efficacy of PRA023 vs placebo for change in IBDQ Compare the efficacy of PRA023 vs placebo in subjects who are companion diagnostic positive (CDx+) for induction of: - clinical remission - endoscopic improvement - clinical response - histologic remission - histologic-endoscopic mucosal improvement - mucosal healing Compare the efficacy of PRA023 vs placebo in subjects who are CDx + per alternative alternative algorithm for induction of clinical remission at Week 12 Compare the efficacy of PRA023 in CDx + vs CDx negative (CD x - ) subjects for induction of clinical remission at Week 12 Compare the efficacy of PRA023 vs placebo in CDx + subjects for change in IBDQ at Week 12;Primary end point(s): 1. The proportion of subjects reporting adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), AEs leading to discontinuation, and markedly abnormal laboratory values. 2. The proportion of subjects in clinical remission at Week 12. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 12

Secondary

MeasureTime frame

The proportion of CDx+ subjects in clinical response at Week 12. 9. The proportion of subjects with symptomatic remission treated with PRA023 compared to CDx + placebo-treated subjects at Week 12. 10. The proportion of CDx + subjects with histologic remission at Week 12. 11. The proportion of CDx+ subjects with histologic-endoscopic mucosal improvement at Week 12. 12. The proportion of CDx+ subjects with clinical remission Week 12. 13. The proportion of subjects with mucosal healing at Week 12. 14. The proportion of CDx+ subjects with mucosal healing at Week 12. 15. The proportion of subjects with IBDQ response at Week 12. 16. The proportion of CDx+ subjects with IBDQ response at Week 12. 17. The proportion of CDx+ subjects (per alternative algorithm) in clinical remission at Week 12.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 12
