About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how-well icotrokinra works (clinical efficacy) and how safe it is (safety) in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD; a long-term condition causing severe inflammation of the intestinal tract).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Diagnosis of CD established at least 12 weeks before screening including both endoscopic evidence and a histopathology report consistent with a diagnosis of CD

Moderately to severely active CD based on CDAI criteria, defined as baseline (Week I-0) CDAI score >=220 but <=450 and either mean daily SF count >=4, or mean daily AP score >=2

Moderately to severely active CD based on SES-CD criteria assessed by baseline (Week I-0) endoscopic evidence of active ileal and/or colonic CD as assessed during central review of the screening video ileocolonoscopy defined as a SES-CD >= 6 for participants with colonic or ileocolonic disease, and SES-CD >= 4 for participants with isolated ileal disease, based on the presence of ulceration in any 1 of the 5 ileocolonic segments

A female participant of childbearing potential must have a negative highly sensitive serum pregnancy test (beta-hCG) at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at Week I-0 prior to administration of study intervention and agree to further pregnancy tests

Disqualifiers

Has complications of CD, such as symptomatic strictures or stenoses, short gut syndrome, or any other manifestation, that may require surgery while enrolled in the study and/or could impair the use of instruments (such as CDAI) to assess response to study intervention

Presence of a stoma or ostomy

Participants with presence of active fistulas may be included if there is no surgery needed

Colonic resection within 24 weeks before baseline or any other major surgery performed within 12 weeks before baseline

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Induction Study 1: Number of Participants with Clinical Response at Week 12

Clinical response is defined as a greater than or equal to (\>=) 100-point reduction from baseline in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score. CDAI scores range from 0 to approximately 600. Higher score indicates higher disease activity.

Time frame
At Week 12
2

Induction Study 2: Number of Participants with Clinical Remission at Week 12 (Co-Primary Endpoint)

Clinical remission is defined as CDAI score less than (\<) 150. CDAI scores range from 0 to approximately 600. Higher score indicates higher disease activity.

Time frame
At Week 12
3

Induction Study 2: Number of Participants with Endoscopic Response at Week 12 (Co-Primary Endpoint)

Endoscopic response is defined as greater than (\>) 50% improvement from baseline in Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) score or a decrease of at least 2 points in participants with a baseline score of 4 and isolated ileal disease. SES-CD score can range from 0 to 56. Higher scores indicating more severe disease.

Time frame
At Week 12
4

Maintenance Study: Number of Participants with Clinical Remission at Week 40 (Co-Primary Endpoint)

Clinical remission is defined as CDAI score \< 150. CDAI scores range from 0 to approximately 600. Higher score indicates higher disease activity.

Time frame
At Week 40

Secondary outcomes

1

Induction Study 1: Number of Participants with Clinical Remission at Week 12

Clinical remission is defined as CDAI score \< 150. CDAI scores ranging from 0 to approximately 600. Higher score indicates higher disease activity.

Time frame
At Week 12
2

Induction Study 1: Number of Participants with Endoscopic Response at Week 12

Endoscopic response is defined as \> 50% improvement from baseline in SES-CD score or a decrease of at least 2 points in participants with a baseline score of 4 and isolated ileal disease. SES-CD score can range from 0 to 56. Higher scores indicating more severe disease.

Time frame
At Week 12
3

Induction Study 1: Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non-investigational) product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product and is medically important.

Time frame
Up to 4 weeks after last dose of study drug (i.e., up to Week 16)
4

Induction Study 2: Number of Participants with Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO)-2 Remission at Week 12

PRO-2 remission is defined as an abdominal pain (AP) mean daily score less than or equal to (\<=) 1 and stool frequency (SF) mean daily score \<= 2.8, and no worsening of AP or SF from baseline.

Time frame
At Week 12
