Additional studies in CD

Clinical study number/name Study phase Study details Status
NCT00160524 PRECiSE 333 Phase 3 extension 7 year, open-label study of patients who completed NCT00152490 (PRECiSE 1) and NCT00152425 (PRECiSE 2). Ongoing
400 mg CZP q4w.
NCT00160706 PRECiSE 434 Phase 3 extension 7 year, open-label study of patients who withdrew from NCT00152490 (PRECiSE 1) and NCT00152425 (PRECiSE 2) due to exacerbation of CD. Ongoing
400 mg CZP q4w.
NCT00552058 Phase 3 6 wk, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Completed
400 mg CZP or placebo at wks 0, 2 and 4.
N = 421 adult active CD patients.
Primary endpoint: % patients in remission at wk 6.
NCT00552344 Phase 3 extension 5 year open-label extension to NCT00552058. Ongoing
400 mg CZP q4w.
NCT00308581 WELCOME24 Phase 3b 26 wk, open-label study of patients who had previously failed with infliximab. Completed
400 mg CZP at wks 0, 2 and 4, followed by 400 mg CZP q2w or q4w.
N = 539 adult active CD patients.
Primary endpoint: Response rate at wk 6 (62% patients achieved CDAI100).
Secondary endpoint: Comparison of the two maintenance dose regimens (no significant difference between % patients achieving CDAI100 at wk 26, p = 0.55).
NCT00333788 Phase 3 extension Open-label extension to NCT00308581 (WE LCOME). Ongoing
NCT00349752 CONCiSE Phase 3b 36 wk, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the corticosteroid sparing effect of CZP in CD patients. Completed (prematurely terminated due to slow enrollment)
Placebo or 400 mg CZP at wks 0, 2 and 4 and then placebo or 400 mg CZP q4w thereafter. Patients followed a corticosteroid forced-taper regimen.
N = 174 adult CD patients with moderate-to-severe disease.
Primary endpoint: % patients who remained off corticosteroids are in remission at wk 36.
NCT00356408 Phase 3 extension Open-label extension to NCT00349752 (CONCiSE) Ongoing
NCT00297648 MUSIC35 Phase 3b 54 wk open-label study to assess endoscopic mucosal healing in CD patients. Completed
400 mg CZP at wks 0, 2 and 4, followed by 400 mg CZP q4w thereafter. Escalated to 400 mg CZP q2w if there has been a loss of response.
N = 89 adult active CD patients suffering from at least 2 segments with endoscopic ulcerative lesions with baseline CDEI S ≥8.
Primary endpoint: Change from baseline CDEI S at wk 10 (achieved).
NCT00899678 Phase 2 62 wk, open-label pediatric study. Ongoing
Loading:
Patients 20–40 kg: 200 mg wk 0, 2 and 4
Patients >40 kg: 400 mg wk 0, 2 and 4

Patients 20–40 kg: 200 mg q4w
Patients >40 kg: 400 mg q4w
Low dose:
Patients 20–40 kg: 100 mg q4w
Patients >40 kg: 200 mg q4w
N = 160 (estimated) CD patients aged 6–17 years.
Primary endpoint: % patients in remission at wk 62.
NCT00844285 SECURE Observational registry Observational registry for CD patients in the USA. Ongoing
N = 4000 CD patients; CZP cohort and non-CZP comparators (estimated).

CZP was administered subcutaneously in all studies. CD, Crohn disease; wk, week; CZP, certolizumab pegol; q2w, every 2 weeks; q4w, every 4 weeks; CDAI, Crohn disease activity index; CDAI100, decrease of at least 100 CDAI points; CDEI S, Crohn Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity.
