About this trial

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.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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

Week 12
2

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 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.

Week 12

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

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 outcomes

1

Sub-Study 2: Proportion of participants achieving CDAI clinical response at Week 12

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

Time frame
Week 12
2

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

Time frame
Week 12

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