Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VTX958 in participants with moderately to severely active CD.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VTX958 in participants with moderately to severely active CD. Approximately 132 eligible patients will be randomized, and randomization will be stratified by prior use of biologics for the treatment of CD (yes/no).

The study consists of a 30-day Screening Period, a 12-week double-blind Induction Treatment Period, a double-blind Maintenance Treatment Period or an Open-Label Extension (OLE) of up to 4 weeks, and a 30-day safety Follow-Up Period. The maximum duration of treatment will be 4 months, including the Induction and Maintenance or OLE Period. For all participants, a Follow-Up visit will be performed at 30 days after the last dose of study drug.

Objectives Primary Objectives

  • Evaluate the efficacy of VTX958 in achieving reduction in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score and endoscopic response at the end of the Induction Period

Secondary Objectives

  • Evaluate the efficacy of VTX958 in inducing clinical and symptomatic response and remission at the end of the Induction Period

  • Evaluate the efficacy of VTX958 in inducing endoscopic response and clinical remission at the end of the Induction Period

Study Design

Study Type:
Interventional
Anticipated Enrollment :
132 participants
Allocation:
Randomized
Intervention Model:
Parallel Assignment
Masking:
Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Masking Description:
The study will employ a double-blind design. Participants, Investigators, study center staff, persons performing the assessments, and the Sponsor are to remain blinded to the identity of the Induction and Maintenance Period treatment from the time of randomization until the interim database lock for the study

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in mean Crohn's disease Activity Index (CDAI) score from baseline to week 12 [During screening to week 12]

    Change in Mean CDAI (Crohn's disease Activity Index). CDAI is a weighted index comprising eight Crohn's Disease (CD)-related clinical and laboratory variables, to assess CD disease activity. Three of the variables, stool frequency, abdominal pain, and general well-being, are patient-reported measures recorded daily. The total CDAI score is calculated using the sum of each variable times the multiplier. The total score range of the CDAI is from 0 to 600.

  2. The proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response at Week 12 [During screening to week 12]

    SES-CD is an endoscopic grading system is used to assess CD disease activity. The SES-CD assesses 4 endoscopic variables: the size of ulcers, ulcerated surface, affected surface, and presence of narrowing. Each variable score ranging from 0 to 3. The total SES-CD score is calculated using the sum of all parameter scores in 5 segments: terminal ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change from baseline in mean simple endoscopic score in Crohn's disease SES-CD at Week 12 [During screening to week 12]

    Change from baseline in mean simple endoscopic score in Crohn's disease SED-CD at 12 weeks. The SES-CD is an endoscopic grading system is used to assess CD disease activity. The SES-CD assesses 4 endoscopic variables: the size of ulcers, ulcerated surface, affected surface, and presence of narrowing. Each variable score ranging from 0 to 3. The total SES-CD score is calculated using the sum of all parameter scores in 5 segments: terminal ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum.

  2. Proportion of participants achieving clinical remission at Week 12 [During screening to week 12]

    Clinical remission is defined as a CDAI score < 150. CDAI is a weighted index comprising eight Crohn's Disease (CD)-related clinical and laboratory variables, to assess CD disease activity. Three of the variables, stool frequency, abdominal pain, and general well-being, are patient-reported measures recorded daily. The total CDAI score is calculated using the sum of each variable times the multiplier. The total score range of the CDAI is from 0 to 600.

  3. Proportion of participants achieving patient-reported outcome 2 (PRO2) remission at Week 12 [During screening to week 12]

    The proportion of participants achieving PRO2 remission at week 12. PRO2 remission is defined is an unweighted CDAI component of daily AP score ≤ 1 and unweighted CDAI component of daily average stool frequency (SF) score ≤ 3

  4. Proportion of participants achieving clinical response at Week 12 [During screening to week 12]

    Proportion of participants achieving clinical response at Week 12. A clinical response is defined as ≥ 100 points reduction from baseline in CDAI score or CDAI score < 150. CDAI is a weighted index comprising eight Crohn's Disease (CD)-related clinical and laboratory variables, to assess CD disease activity. Three of the variables, stool frequency, abdominal pain, and general well-being, are patient-reported measures recorded daily. The total CDAI score is calculated using the sum of each variable times the multiplier. The total score range of the CDAI is from 0 to 600.

  5. Proportion of participants achieving both endoscopic response (outcome- measure # 2) and clinical remission (outcome measure # 4) at Week 12 [During screening to week 12]

    Proportion of participants achieving both endoscopic response (as described in outcome measure 2) and clinical remission (as described in outcome measure 4) at Week 12.
