Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cohort 2: Baseline Absolute Lymphocyte Count in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)BaselineThe primary CSF endpoint of Cohort 2 was the percent change from baseline in absolute lymphocyte counts in CSF after 3 doses of PF-00547659. The hypothesis for the primary endpoint was evaluated using the CSF evaluable population in Cohort 2. CSF samples were obtained via lumbar puncture and analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) for total lymphocyte counts. Lumbar punctures were performed by a highly qualified physician using a 20-22 gauge needle, preferably an atraumatic needle.

Cohort 1: PF-00547659
Participants who had Crohn's disease (CD) and who satisfied all study entry criteria were enrolled into the study. Prior to treatment, participants underwent 2 lumbar punctures (LP) 2-4 weeks apart. All participants received 3 monthly subcutaneous (SC) doses of PF-00547659 225 milligrams (mg) (Days 1, 29, 57). At Week 12, participants who had a clinical response to treatment could enter the open-label extension study. Otherwise, participants would enter a 6-month follow-up period onsite.

Cohort 2: Baseline Absolute Lymphocyte Count in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)

The primary CSF endpoint of Cohort 2 was the percent change from baseline in absolute lymphocyte counts in CSF after 3 doses of PF-00547659. The hypothesis for the primary endpoint was evaluated using the CSF evaluable population in Cohort 2. CSF samples were obtained via lumbar puncture and analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) for total lymphocyte counts. Lumbar punctures were performed by a highly qualified physician using a 20-22 gauge needle, preferably an atraumatic needle.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect. Treatment-emergent for this measure are events between first dose of study drug and up to 85 days (Week 12) after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included serious and non-serious AEs.

Time frame: Baseline up to Week 12

Population: All participants who received at least one dose of study drug were analyzed for AEs/safety. Combined data for both cohorts is presented.
