- Original description
Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting condition causing inflammation that can affect any part of the gut. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAK-279 versus placebo in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). The main aim of this study is to learn if the 3 different doses of TAK-279 reduce bowel inflammation and ulcers in the bowel compared to the placebo after 12 weeks of treatment. Another aim is to compare any medical problems that participants have when they take TAK-279 or placebo and how well the participants tolerate medical problems. An endoscopy will be used to check the bowel for inflammation.Read full original descriptionShow less
A Phase 2b, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind Induction, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Ranging Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral TAK-279 in Subjects With Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease
Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting condition causing inflammation that can affect any part of the gut. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAK-279 versus placebo in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). The main aim of this study is to learn if the 3 different doses of TAK-279 reduce bowel inflammation and ulcers in the bowel compared to the placebo after 12 weeks of treatment. Another aim is to compare any medical problems that participants have when they take TAK-279 or placebo and how well the participants tolerate medical problems. An endoscopy will be used to check the bowel for inflammation.
The participants will be treated with TAK-279 for 52 weeks (1 year).
During the study, participants will visit their study clinic 15 times.
Inclusion: Male or female aged 18-75 years old with diagnosis of CD for at least 30 days. In South Korea, the age requirement for adult participants is >=19 years of age; Confirmed diagnosis of moderately to severely active CD assessed by SES-CD and CDAI; Participants must have had an inadequate response to, loss of response to, or intolerance to at least one or more conventional, biologic, or advanced therapy for CD.
Exclusion: Have complications of CD that might require surgery during the study; Participants who have failed 3 or more classes of advanced therapies; Participants with indeterminate colitis, microscopic colitis, ischemic colitis, infectious colitis, radiation colitis, and diverticular disease associated with colitis, and/or ulcerative colitis; Participants with a current ostomy.
