A Long Term Extension Trial of BI 655066/ABBV-066 (Risankizumab), in Patients With Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease

The primary objective of the study was to investigate long-term safety of risankizumab (BI 655066/ABBV-066) in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who showed a clinical response or remission on previous treatment with risankizumab in Study NCT02031276 (BI trial 1311.6/ AbbVie M15-993) and were now receiving long-term treatment. Additional objectives of this study were to further investigate long-term efficacy, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of risankizumab.

About this study

This was a single group, open-label long-term extension study that assessed the long-term safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of risankizumab in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. This study was terminated early by AbbVie to enable participants who completed the study to rollover into Study NCT03105102 (AbbVie M16-000 Sub-Study 3 [Phase 3 OLE study]) for further OLE treatment within the Phase 3 program, which allows for risankizumab dose escalation if needed.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Time frame: From the time of study drug administration until 140 days after the last dose of study drug in the current study or until the first dose of study drug in NCT03105102 (AbbVie M16-000 Sub-study 3), up to 4 years for participants who rolled-over

    A treatment emergent adverse event was defined as an event that occurred or worsened on or after the first dose of study drug through 140 days after the last dose in the current study for participants not rolling over into M16-000 Sub-study 3 or until the first dose of study drug in NCT03105102. All treatment-emergent serious and nonserious adverse events were collected, whether elicited or spontaneously reported by the participant.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Clinical Remission by Visit

    Time frame: Weeks 0, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120, 128, 136, 144, 152, 160, 168, 176, and 184

    The Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) is a composite instrument that includes participant symptoms evaluated over 7 days (abdominal pain, stool frequency and general well-being), as well as physical and laboratory findings. These items are scored individually, weighted, and do not contribute equally to the overall score. The CDAI is derived from summing up the weighted individual scores of eight items. CDAI approximately ranges from 0 to 600 with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Clinical remission is defined as CDAI score < 150.

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Clinical Response by Visit

    The Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) is a composite instrument that includes participant symptoms evaluated over 7 days (abdominal pain, stool frequency and general well-being), as well as physical and laboratory findings. These items are scored individually, weighted, and do not contribute equally to the overall score. The CDAI is derived from summing up the weighted individual scores of eight items. CDAI approximately ranges from 0 to 600 with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Clinical response is defined as CDAI score < 150 or a reduction from baseline of at least 100 points. Baseline is defined as the last measurement prior to the first dose of the study drug in the feeder study NCT02031276 (Boehringer Ingelheim trial 1311.6/AbbVie M15-993).

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving Patient Reported Outcome 2 (PRO-2) Remission by Visit

    The PRO-2 is calculated based on the sum of the weighted patient-reported subscores of CDAI for liquid or soft stool frequency [SF] plus abdominal pain [AP] in the 7 days prior to the study visit. The PRO-2 score is calculated by adding the values of the summed stool frequency scores multiplied by 2 plus the summed abdominal pain scores multiplied by 5. The SF and AP score at an assessment visit was the average of the daily values reported during the 7 days preceding the scheduled assessment visit. PRO-2 scores range from 0 to no upper limit with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Remission is defined as PRO-2 score < 75.

  4. Percentage of Participants Achieving Patient Reported Outcome 2 (PRO-2) Response by Visit

    The PRO-2 is calculated based on the sum of the weighted patient-reported subscores of CDAI for liquid or soft stool frequency [SF] plus abdominal pain [AP] in the 7 days prior to the study visit. The PRO-2 score is calculated by adding the values of the summed stool frequency scores multiplied by 2 plus the summed abdominal pain scores multiplied by 5. The SF and AP score at an assessment visit was the average of the daily values reported during the 7 days preceding the scheduled assessment visit. PRO-2 scores range from 0 to no upper limit with higher scores indicating more severe disease. PRO-2 response is defined as a decrease from baseline of 50 points or more. Baseline is defined as the last measurement prior to the first dose of the study drug in the feeder study NCT02031276 (Boehringer Ingelheim trial 1311.6/AbbVie M15-993).

The score ranges from 0 to 44 where higher scores indicate more severe endoscopic activity. Remission is defined as a score of 4 or less, by visit (or for participants with initial isolated ileitis a score of 2 or less).
