Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Maintenance of remission (HBI < 5 or SCCAI = 2) without surgery throughout at least 12 months allowing 1 time additional corticosteroid use for a maximum duration of 3 months. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The proportion of patients in whom remission (HBI < 5 or SCCAI = 2) is maintained with one course of corticosteroid for a maximum of 3 months without surgery throughout at least 6 months. • The proportion of patients in whom steroid–free remission (HBI < 5 or SCCAI = 2) is maintained without surgery throughout at least 12 months. • The proportion of patients in whom remission, as determined by HBI < 5 or SCCAI = 2, CRP < 10 mg/l, FCP < 100 microg/g faeces (or < upper normal limit of the test used) with one course of corticosteroid for a maximum of 3 months is maintained without surgery throughout at least 12 months. • The proportion of patients in whom remission, as determined by the physician, with one course of corticosteroid for a maximum of 3 months is maintained without surgery throughout at least 12 months. | — |
