Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Induction: Standard Induction Dose

Participants randomized to receive received blinded adalimumab 160 mg at Baseline and matching placebo at Week 1, adalimumab 80 mg and matching placebo at Week 2, matching placebo at Week 3, and then adalimumab 40 mg every other week (eow) starting at Week 4 through Week 12.

Drug: Adalimumab
Other Names:
  • Humira
  • Drug: Placebo

    Experimental: Induction: Higher Induction Dose

    Participants randomized to receive blinded adalimumab 160 mg at Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3. At Week 4, participants receive adalimumab 40 mg eow through Week 12.

    Drug: Adalimumab
    Other Names:
  • Humira
  • Experimental: Maintenance: Clinically Adjusted (CA) Regimen

    Participants randomized to the CA regimen receive adalimumab 40 mg eow beginning at Week 12. The adalimumab dose will be escalated to every week (ew) starting as early as Week 14 and up to Week 54 based on Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) or high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) values, using results from the prior or current study visit. Once participants in the CA regimen are escalated, they remain on adalimumab 40 mg ew dosing.

    Drug: Adalimumab
    Other Names:
  • Humira
  • Experimental: Maintenance: Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) Regimen

    At Weeks 14, 28 and 42, the adalimumab dose for participants randomized to the TDM will be determined by protocol-established dose adjustment criteria. Doses will be determined using blinded serum concentrations at the prior visit (Weeks 12, 26 and 40, respectively) as well as the CDAI or hs-CRP values from the current or prior study visit. Participants who meet criteria for dose escalation at Weeks 14, 28 or 42 will receive 40 mg ew.

    Drug: Adalimumab
    Other Names:
  • Humira
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Remission at Week 4 [Week 4]

      Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) is used to assess the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. Scores generally range from 0 to 600, where clinical remission of Crohn's disease is defined as CDAI < 150, and very severe disease is defined as CDAI > 450.

    2. Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Response at Week 12 [Week 12]

      Endoscopic response was scored using the Simplified Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD). The SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [very large]; ulcerated surface ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [>30%]; affected surface ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [>75%], and narrowing ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [cannot be passed]) in 5 segments assessed during ileocolonoscopy (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, sigmoid and left colon, and rectum). The total score is the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores and range from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate more severe disease. Endoscopic response was defined as SES-CD total score > 50% from Baseline (or for a Baseline SES-CD of 4, at least a 2 point reduction from Baseline) at Week 12.

    3. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [From first dose of study drug until 70 days following last dose of study drug in the induction study (up to 12 weeks) or maintenance study (up to 56 weeks).]

      Adverse event (AE): any untoward medical occurrence that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either probably related, possibly related, probably not related or not related. Serious AE (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. TEAEs: any event that began or worsened in severity after the first dose of study drug in the induction or maintenance study. Events with unknown severity were counted as severe. Events with unknown relationship to study drug were counted as drug-related.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Clinical Remission (Per CDAI) at Both Weeks 4 and 12 [Week 4 and Week 12]

      CDAI is used to assess the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. Scores generally range from 0 to 600, where clinical remission of Crohn's disease is defined as CDAI < 150, and very severe disease is defined as CDAI > 450.

    2. Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Clinical Response at Week 4 and Endoscopic Response at Week 12 [Week 12]

Clinical response was defined as a decrease in CDAI ≥ 70 points from Baseline. Endoscopic response was scored using the SES-CD, which evaluates 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [very large]; ulcerated surface ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [>30%]; affected surface ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [>75%], and narrowing ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [cannot be passed]) in 5 segments assessed during ileocolonoscopy. The total score is the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores and range from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate more severe disease. Endoscopic response was defined as SES-CD total score >50% from Baseline (or for Baseline SES-CD of 4, at least a 2-point reduction from Baseline) at Week 12.

    3. Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission at Week 12 [Week 12]

      Clinical remission was scored using the CDAI. CDAI assesses the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. Scores generally range from 0 to 600, where clinical remission of Crohn's disease is defined as CDAI < 150, and very severe disease is defined as CDAI > 450.

    4. Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Corticosteroid Use and Achieved Clinical Remission at Week 12 Among Participants Taking Corticosteroids at Baseline [Week 12]

      Clinical remission was scored using the CDAI. CDAI assesses the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. Scores generally range from 0 to 600, where clinical remission of Crohn's disease is defined as CDAI < 150, and very severe disease is defined as CDAI > 450.

    5. Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Remission at Week 12 [Week 12]

    Study Results

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details
    Pre-assignment Detail Participants were randomized in a 3:2 ratio at Baseline to receive a higher induction adalimumab regimen or standard induction adalimumab regimen during the double-blind Induction Study. At Week 12, participants were re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to a double-blind exploratory treatment regimen (adalimumab clinically adjusted [CA] regimen or adalimumab therapeutic drug monitoring [TDM] regimen).
    Arm/Group Title Induction: Standard Induction Dose Induction: Higher Induction Dose Maintenance: Clinically Adjusted (CA) Regimen Maintenance: Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) Regimen
    Arm/Group Description Participants randomized to receive received blinded adalimumab 160 mg at Baseline and matching placebo at Week 1, adalimumab 80 mg and matching placebo at Week 2, matching placebo at Week 3, and then adalimumab 40 mg every other week (eow) starting at Week 4 through Week 12. Participants randomized to receive blinded adalimumab 160 mg at Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3. At Week 4, participants receive adalimumab 40 mg eow through Week 12. Participants randomized to the CA regimen receive adalimumab 40 mg eow beginning at Week 12. The adalimumab dose could be escalated to every week (ew) starting as early as Week 14 and up to Week 54 based on Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) or high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) values, using results from the prior or current study visit. Once participants in the CA regimen are escalated, they remain on adalimumab 40 mg ew dosing. At Weeks 14, 28 and 42, the adalimumab dose for participants randomized to the TDM are determined by protocol-established dose adjustment criteria. Doses are determined using blinded serum concentrations at the prior visit (Weeks 12, 26 and 40, respectively) as well as the CDAI or hs-CRP values from the current or prior study visit. Participants who meet criteria for dose escalation at Weeks 14, 28 or 42 receive 40 mg ew.

    2. Primary Outcome
    Title Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Response at Week 12
    Description Endoscopic response was scored using the Simplified Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD). The SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [very large]; ulcerated surface ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [>30%]; affected surface ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [>75%], and narrowing ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [cannot be passed]) in 5 segments assessed during ileocolonoscopy (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, sigmoid and left colon, and rectum). The total score is the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores and range from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate more severe disease. Endoscopic response was defined as SES-CD total score > 50% from Baseline (or for a Baseline SES-CD of 4, at least a 2 point reduction from Baseline) at Week 12.

    3. Primary Outcome
    Title Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
    Description Adverse event (AE): any untoward medical occurrence that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either probably related, possibly related, probably not related or not related. Serious AE (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. TEAEs: any event that began or worsened in severity after the first dose of study drug in the induction or maintenance study. Events with unknown severity were counted as severe. Events with unknown relationship to study drug were counted as drug-related.
    Time Frame From first dose of study drug until 70 days following last dose of study drug in the induction study (up to 12 weeks) or maintenance study (up to 56 weeks).

    Arm/Group Title Induction: Standard Induction Dose Induction: Higher Induction Dose Maintenance: Clinically Adjusted (CA) Regimen Maintenance: Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) Regimen
    Arm/Group Description Participants were randomized to receive received blinded adalimumab 160 mg at Baseline and matching placebo at Week 1, adalimumab 80 mg and matching placebo at Week 2, and then matching placebo at Week 3, and then adalimumab 40 mg every other week (eow) starting at Week 4 through Week 12. Participants randomized to receive blinded adalimumab 160 mg at Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3. At Week 4, participants receive adalimumab 40 mg eow through Week 12. Participants randomized to the CA regimen receive adalimumab 40 mg eow beginning at Week 12. The adalimumab dose will be escalated to ew starting as early as Week 14 and up to Week 54 based on CDAI or hs-CRP values, using results from the prior or current study visit. Once participants in the CA regimen are escalated, they remain on adalimumab 40 mg ew dosing. At Weeks 14, 28 and 42, the adalimumab dose for participants randomized to the TDM are determined by protocol-established dose adjustment criteria. Doses are determined using blinded serum concentrations at the prior visit (Weeks 12, 26 and 40, respectively) as well as the CDAI or hs-CRP values from the current or prior study visit. Participants who meet criteria for dose escalation at Weeks 14, 28 or 42 receive 40 mg ew.

    Title Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Remission at Week 12
    Description Endoscopic remission was scored using the SES-CD.The SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [very large]; ulcerated surface ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [>30%]; affected surface ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [>75%], and narrowing ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [cannot be passed]) in 5 segments assessed during ileocolonoscopy (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, sigmoid and left colon, and rectum). The total score is the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores and range from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate more severe disease. Endoscopic remission was defined as SES-CD ≤ 4 and at least a 2-point reduction versus baseline and no subscore greater than 1 in any individual variable.

    Arm/Group Description Participants randomized to receive received blinded adalimumab 160 mg at Baseline and matching placebo at Week 1, adalimumab 80 mg and matching placebo at Week 2, matching placebo at Week 3, and then adalimumab 40 mg eow starting at Week 4 through Week 12. Participants randomized to receive blinded adalimumab 160 mg at Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3. At Week 4, participants receive adalimumab 40 mg eow through Week 12. Participants randomized to the CA regimen receive adalimumab 40 mg eow beginning at Week 12. The adalimumab dose will be escalated to ew starting as early as Week 14 and up to Week 54 based on CDAI or hs-CRP values, using results from the prior or current study visit. Once participants in the CA regimen are escalated, they remain on adalimumab 40 mg ew dosing. At Weeks 14, 28 and 42, the adalimumab dose for participants randomized to the TDM are determined by protocol-established dose adjustment criteria. Doses are determined using blinded serum concentrations at the prior visit (Weeks 12, 26 and 40, respectively) as well as the CDAI or hs-CRP values from the current or prior study visit. Participants who meet criteria for dose escalation at Weeks 14, 28 or 42 receive 40 mg ew.
