Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of treatment with ustekinumab or adalimumab in biologic naive participants with moderately-to-severely active Crohn's disease (CD) who have previously failed or were intolerant to conventional therapy (corticosteroids and/or immunomodulators, such as azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or methotrexate), as measured by clinical remission at one year.

Detailed description

This study compares the safety and efficacy of ustekinumab versus adalimumab. It will consist of screening (within 1- 5 weeks prior to Week 0), treatment phase (Weeks 0 to 52), and follow-up phase (up to Week 76). The primary hypothesis is that ustekinumab is superior to adalimumab as measured by clinical remission after one year of treatment. Study assessments will include Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI), video ileocolonoscopy; CD-related healthcare utilization; patient-reported outcomes (PROs); laboratory evaluations; biomarkers; review of concomitant medications and adverse events (AEs); and evaluation of serum concentrations of study agent as well as development of antibodies to study agent. All participants will randomly be assigned to receive either ustekinumab or adalimumab. No participants will be treated with placebo only.

Interventions

Participants will receive placebo as SC injection to blind adalimumab.

Participants will receive placebo as IV infusion to blind ustekinumab.

BIOLOGICALUstekinumab (6 mg/kg)

Participants will receive ustekinumab 6 mg/kg (weight based dosing) as IV infusion.

BIOLOGICALUstekinumab (90 mg)

Participants will self-administer SC injection of ustekinumab 90 mg.

BIOLOGICALAdalimumab (40 mg)

Participants will self-administer multiple SC injections of adalimumab (each 40 mg) and will receive total dose of 160 mg at Week 0, 80 mg at Week 2, and 40 mg q2w from Week 4 to 56.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission at Week 52Week 52Percentage of participants with clinical remission at Week 52 were assessed. Clinical remission was defined as a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of less than (\<) 150 points (in general, CDAI score ranges from 0 to approximately 600; higher score indicates higher disease activities). The CDAI score is used to quantify the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response at Week 52Week 52Percentage of participants with clinical response at Week 52 were assessed. Clinical response at Week 52 was defined as a reduction from baseline in the CDAI score of greater than or equal (\>=) 100 points. The CDAI score is used to quantify the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. CDAI score ranges from 0 to approximately 600; higher score indicates higher disease activities. A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity.
Percentage of Participants in Patient Reported Outcome (PRO)-2 Symptom Remission at Week 52Week 52PRO2 evaluated 2 patient-reported symptoms: the frequency of liquid or soft stools (total number of soft/liquid stools in the last 7 days) and abdominal pain (on a 4-point scale where 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe). A weekly score was calculated for the liquid or soft stool frequency and a separate weekly score was calculated for abdominal pain, in each case based on daily symptom reporting. PRO-2 symptom remission was defined as an abdominal pain (AP) mean daily score at or below 1 and also stool frequency (SF) mean daily score at or below 3, that is, AP \<=1 and SF \<=3. PRO2 is a composite index consisting of weighted scoring of both variables. PRO-2 scores range from 0 to no upper limit with higher scores indicating more severe disease.
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission at Week 16Week 16Percentage of participants with clinical remission (defined as CDAI \<150 points) at Week 16 were assessed. Clinical remission was defined as a CDAI score of \< 150 points (in general, CDAI score ranges from 0 to approximately 600; higher score indicates higher disease activities). The CDAI score is used to quantify the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity.
Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Remission at Week 52Week 52Percentage of participants with endoscopic remission at Week 52 were assessed. Endoscopic remission was defined as Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) score less than or equal to (\<=) 3, or SES-CD =0 for participants who entered the study with a SES-CD =3 at Week 52. The SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size, proportion of the surface area that is ulcerated, proportion of the surface area affected, and stenosis) each rated from 0 (best) to 3 (worst) in 5 segments evaluated during ileocolonoscopy (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum). The score for each endoscopic variable is the sum of values obtained for each segment. The SES-CD total is the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate more severe disease.

Percentage of Participants With Corticosteroid-free Remission at Week 52

Percentage of participants with Corticosteroid-free remission at Week 52 were assessed. Corticosteroid-free remission was defined as CDAI score \<150 points at Week 52 and not taking any corticosteroids for at least 30 days prior to Week 52. The CDAI score is used to quantify the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. CDAI score ranges from 0 to approximately 600; higher score indicates higher disease activities. A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity.

Time frame: Week 52

Population: FAS which was defined as all randomized participants.

Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Remission at Week 52

Percentage of participants with endoscopic remission at Week 52 were assessed. Endoscopic remission was defined as Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) score less than or equal to (\<=) 3, or SES-CD =0 for participants who entered the study with a SES-CD =3 at Week 52. The SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size, proportion of the surface area that is ulcerated, proportion of the surface area affected, and stenosis) each rated from 0 (best) to 3 (worst) in 5 segments evaluated during ileocolonoscopy (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum). The score for each endoscopic variable is the sum of values obtained for each segment. The SES-CD total is the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate more severe disease.

Time frame: Week 52

Population: FAS among participants with SES-CD Score \>=3 at Baseline.
