A Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Guselkumab in Participants With Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease
- Conditions
- Crohn's Disease
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT03466411
- Lead Sponsor
- Janssen Research & Development, LLC
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy (GALAXI 1), clinical and endoscopic efficacy (GALAXI 2 and GALAXI 3) and safety of guselkumab in participants with Crohn's disease.
- Detailed Description
This program consists of 3 separate studies: a 48-week Phase 2 dose-ranging study (GALAXI 1) and two 48-week Phase 3 confirmatory studies (GALAXI 2 and GALAXI 3). In Phase 2, safety and efficacy of guselkumab dose regimens will be evaluated to support the selection of induction and maintenance dose regimens for confirmatory evaluation in Phase 3. Participants who complete the 48-week Phase 2 or Phase 3 studies may be eligible to enter the long term extension (LTE). Throughout the 3 studies, efficacy, pharmacokinetic, biomarkers, and safety will be assessed.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method GALAXI 1: Change From Baseline in the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Score at Week 12 Baseline and Week 12 The multi-item CDAI score assessed severity of illness by collecting information on 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables (extraintestinal manifestations, abdominal mass, weight, hematocrit, use of antidiarrheal drug(s) and/or opiates, total number of liquid or very soft stools, abdominal pain/cramps, and general well-being). The last 3 variables were scored over 7 eligible days by the participant on a diary card. The total CDAI score ranged from 0 to 600 in general: higher score indicated higher disease activities. A decrease in total CDAI score over time indicates improvement in disease activity. Baseline was defined as the last observation prior to or at the date of the first study intervention.
Global: GALAXI 2: Percentage of Participants With Both Clinical Response at Week 12 and Clinical Remission at Week 48 Weeks 48 Clinical response was defined as a decrease from baseline (BL) in CDAI score greater than or equal to (\>=) 100 points or CDAI score \<150. Clinical remission was defined as a CDAI score \<150. The multi-item CDAI score assessed severity of illness by collecting information on 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables (extraintestinal manifestations, abdominal mass, weight, hematocrit, use of antidiarrheal drug(s) and/or opiates, total number of liquid or very soft stools, abdominal pain/cramps, and general well-being). The last 3 variables were scored over 7 eligible days by the participant on a diary card. The total CDAI score ranged from 0 to 600 in general: higher score indicated higher disease activities. A decrease in total CDAI score over time indicates improvement in disease activity.
Global: GALAXI 2: Percentage of Participants With Both Clinical Response (CR) at Week 12 and Endoscopic Response (ER) at Week 48 Weeks 48 CR: decrease from BL in CDAI score \>=100/\<150. ER: \>=50% improvement from BL in SES-CD score/SES-CD score \<=2. CDAI(8 variables):extraintestinal manifestations, abdominal mass, weight, hematocrit, use of antidiarrheal drug(s) and/or opiates, total number of liquid/soft stools, abdominal pain/cramps, general well-being. Last 3 variables scored over 7 eligible days by participant on diary. Total CDAI score ranged:0-600(in general):higher score=higher disease activities. Decrease in total CDAI score over time=improvement in disease. SES-CD evaluated 4 endoscopic components (presence \& size of ulcer, extent of ulcerated surface, extent of affected surface, presence \& type of narrowing) across 5 ileocolonic segments (ileum; right, left \& transverse colon; rectum) each scored 0(best) to 3(worst) except narrowing component for which maximum total score (that is, stricturing) was 11 points. SES-CD score: sum of all component scores(all segments) ranged:0-56, higher scores=more severe disease.
