Brief Summary

This is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 induction study, comprised of 3 sub-studies, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of duvakitug in participants with moderately to severely active CD. Study details include:

The study duration may be up to 35 weeks with:

* Up to 5-week Screening Period.

* 12-week Sub-Study 1 (Single Arm Open-Label Feeder Induction) or Sub-Study 2 (Pivotal Induction).

* 12-week Sub-Study 3 (Extended Induction for non-responders).

* 6 weeks (45 days) follow-up period for participants who do not enroll into the Pivotal Maintenance Study (EFC18327). The treatment duration will be up to 12 weeks in each sub-study.

The number of scheduled study visits for participants who continue to the Pivotal Maintenance Study (EFC18327) will be up to 8 (Sub-Study 1 and Sub-Study 2) and up to 15 for participants who enroll in Sub-Study 3.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sub-Study 2: Co-primary endpoints US/FDA: Proportion of participants achieving clinical remission per Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) at Week 12Week 12

Clinical Remission by CDAI: CDAI score \<150. The CDAI is a measure of disease activity based on symptoms, signs, and a laboratory test. Scores on the CDAI scale range from 0 to 600, with scores below 150 indicating relative disease quiescence (remission), 150 to 219 indicating mild disease activity, 220 to 450 indicating moderate activity, and scores exceeding 450 indicating severe disease.

Sub-Study 2: Co-primary endpoints US/FDA: Proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response (Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn&#x0027;s Disease [SES-CD]) at Week 12Week 12

Endoscopic Response is defined as decrease in SES-CD ≥50% from baseline (or a decrease of at least 2 points for participants with a baseline score of 4 or more, and isolated ileal disease) based on central reading. The SES-CD is a standardized method for evaluating disease activity. The total score is the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores and ranges from 0 to 56, where higher scores represent more severe disease.

Sub-Study 2: Co-primary endpoints EU/EMA: Proportion of participants achieving clinical remission per 2-item patient-reported outcome (PRO-2) at Week 12Week 12

Clinical Remission per PRO-2: average daily stool frequency (SF) ≤3 and not worse than the Baseline, and average daily abdominal pain (AP) ≤1 and not worse than the Baseline.

Sub-Study 2: Co-primary endpoints EU/EMA: Proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response (SES-CD) at Week 12Week 12

Endoscopic Response is defined as decrease in SES-CD ≥50% from baseline (or a decrease of at least 2 points for participants with a baseline score of 4 or more, and isolated ileal disease) based on central reading. The SES-CD is a standardized method for evaluating disease activity. The total score is the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores and ranges from 0 to 56, where higher scores represent more severe disease.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sub-Study 2: Proportion of participants achieving CDAI clinical response at Week 12Week 12

CDAI clinical response is defined as decrease in CDAI score of 100 points or more from baseline.

Sub-study 2: Proportion of participants achieving CDAI clinical response and endoscopic response (SES-CD) at Week 12Week 12

CDAI clinical response is defined as decrease in CDAI score of 100 points or more from baseline. Endoscopic Response by SES-CD was defined as a decrease in SES-CD ≥50% from baseline (or a decrease of at least 2 points for participants with a baseline score of 4 or more, and isolated ileal disease) based on central reading.

Sub-study 2: Proportion of participants achieving endoscopic SES-CD remission at Week 12Week 12

Endoscopic Remission by SES-CD is defined as SES-DC ≤4 points (SES-CD ≤2 points for isolated ileal disease) and a SES-CD decrease ≥2 points with no SES-CD sub score \>1 point from baseline

Sub-study 2: US/FDA: Proportion of participants achieving clinical remission per PRO-2 at Week 12Week 12

Clinical Remission per PRO-2: average daily SF ≤3 and not worse than the Baseline, and average daily AP ≤1 and not worse than the Baseline.

Sub-study 2: EU/EMA: Proportion of participants achievingclinical remission per CDAI at Week 12Week 12

Clinical Remission by CDAI: CDAI score \<150. The CDAI is a measure of disease activity based on symptoms, signs, and a laboratory test. Scores on the CDAI scale range from 0 to 600, with scores below 150 indicating relative disease quiescence (remission), 150 to 219 indicating mild disease activity, 220 to 450 indicating moderate activity, and scores exceeding 450 indicating severe disease.

Sub-study 2: Proportion of participants achieving ulcer-free endoscopy (in the subset of participants with ulcers at baseline) at Week 12Week 12

Ulcer-free endoscopy: SES-CD ulcerated surface sub-score of 0 in participants with SES-CD ulcerated surface sub-score ≥1 at Baseline, as scored by a central reader.

Sub-study 2: Change from baseline in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-Fatigue Short Form 7a T-score at Week 12Baseline, Week 12

The PROMIS Fatigue Short Form 7a uses a 5-point Likert scale for each of its 7 items, resulting in a raw score range of 7 to 35. This raw score is then converted into a T-score, with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10, based on US national norms. Higher T-scores indicate greater fatigue.

Sub-study 2: Proportion of participants achieving CDAI clinicalresponse at Week 4Week 4

CDAI clinical response is defined as decrease in CDAI score of 100 points or more from baseline.

Sub-study 2: Change from baseline in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) total score at Week 12Baseline, Week 12

IBDQ instrument consist of 32 items exploring 4 dimensions: "bowel symptoms" (10 items), "systemic symptoms" (5 items), "emotional function" (12 items) and "social function" (5 items). The total IBDQ total score ranges from 32 to 224 with higher score indicating better quality of life.

Sub-study 2: Proportion of participants with no bowel urgency byNumeric Rating Scale (NRS) at Week 12Week 12

The NRS for bowel urgency is a well-defined and reliable instrument to evaluate treatment benefits in participants with CD. The NRS for bowel urgency measures the severity of bowel urgency-the sudden or immediate need to have a bowel movement-experienced in the past 24 hours. This tool utilizes an 11-point scale for evaluation, from 0 (no urgency) to 10 (worst possible urgency).
