A Study of Adalimumab After Dose Escalation in Japanese Subjects With Crohn's Disease

CDAI is used to quantify the signs and symptoms of patients with Crohn's Disease. A score below 150 indicates remission and a score above 450 indicates severe disease. Non-responder imputation (NRI) for missing CDAI observations was used.

C-reactive protein (CRP) was measured from blood samples as a marker for inflammation. Higher levels are indicative of more inflammation. Normal concentration in healthy human serum is usually lower than 0.3 mg/dL, slightly increasing with age. Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) was used for missing data.

Blood was collected for analysis at designated study visits; hematology results were provided by each site laboratory. The number of participants with an abnormal laboratory result (higher than upper limit of normal [ULN] or lower than lower limit of normal [LLN]) meeting Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) of Grade 3 or higher is summarized. Increase is signified by ↑. n=the number of participants with CTC Grade <3 at baseline and a post-baseline value.

Blood was collected for analysis at designated study visits; chemistry results were provided by a central laboratory. The number of participants with an abnormal laboratory result (higher than upper limit of normal [ULN] or lower than lower limit of normal [LLN]) meeting Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) of Grade 3 or higher is summarized. n=the number of participants with CTC Grade <3 at baseline and a post-baseline value for each parameter.

Blood pressure was measured while the participant was sitting. n=the number of participants with available data at each time point.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A serious AE (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent events (TEAEs or TESAE) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity after the first dose of study drug. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either Reasonable possibility or No reasonable possibility of being related to study drug.

For more details on adverse events please see the AE section below.

Blood samples were drawn prior to drug administration. Adalimumab concentrations in serum were determined using a validated heterogeneous electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-immunoassay method. The assay captures adalimumab via biotinylated anti-idiotypic antibody, and detects it via sulfo-tagged TNF-alpha. n=the number of participants with available data at each time point.

Serum samples with adalimumab concentration below 2 μg/mL were selected for AAA analyses. Samples were considered AAA positive if the measured AAA concentration was above 20 ng/mL. A subject was considered to be AAA positive if the subject had at least one AAA positive sample observed within 30 days following the subject's last adalimumab dose.
