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
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.
Sub-Study 2: Co-primary endpoints US/FDA: Proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response (Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn'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.
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.
Sub-Study 2: Co-primary endpoints EU/EMA: Proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response (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.
Secondary outcomes
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.
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
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.
