Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting disease that causes severe inflammation (redness, swelling), in the digestive tract, most often affecting the bowels. It can cause many different symptoms including abdominal pain, diarrhea, tiredness, and weight loss. This study will assess how safe and effective oral Upadacitinib is in treating moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease in pediatric participants aged 2 to 18 years old who have had inadequate response, loss of response, intolerance, or medical contraindications to corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and/or biologic therapy.
Upadacitinib (RINVOQ) is a drug approved in adults for moderate- to severely active CD and is being developed for moderate- to severely active CD in pediatric participants. This study is conducted in 2 periods: Period 1 is comprised of two phases: a 12-week open-label induction phase which means that the study doctor and participants know that participants will receive UPA Dose-A (or the adult equivalent based on body weight) followed by a 52-week double-blind maintenance phase meaning that neither the participants nor the study doctors will know which dose of upadacitinib will be given (UPA Dose B or Dose C). Period 2 is a 156-week open-label extension of Period 1. Approximately 110 pediatric participants with moderate to severely active CD will be enrolled at approximately 92 sites worldwide.
Participants will receive upadacitinib oral tablets once daily or oral solution twice daily at approximately the same time each day, with or without food. Participants will have a safety follow up for 30 days after discontinuation from any time point within the study.
There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care (due to study procedures). Participants will attend regular (weekly, monthly) visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Time frame: At Week 64
PCDAI is an index used to measure disease activity of pediatric patients with Crohn's disease assessing abdominal pain, stool frequency, patient functioning, hematocrit, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, albumin, weight, height, abdomen, perirectal disease, and extraintestinal manifestations. It ranges from 0 to 100; higher scores indicate more active disease. Clinical remission was defined as PCDAI ≤ 10.
Time frame: At Week 64
Endoscopic response is defined as > 50% reduction in Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) score from Baseline (or for participants with a Baseline SES-CD of 4, at least a 2-point reduction from Baseline), as scored by a central reader.
Time frame: Through Week 156
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either probably related, possibly related, probably not related or not related.
Time frame: Week 12
Clinical remission per PCDAI is defined as PCDAI ≤ 10.
Time frame: Week 12
Endoscopic response is defined as > 50% reduction in SES-CD score from Baseline (or for participants with a Baseline SES-CD of 4, at least a 2-point reduction from Baseline), as scored by a central reader.
Time frame: Week 12
Endoscopic remission is defined as SES-CD ≤ 4 with at least a 2-point reduction from Baseline and no subscore > 1, as scored by a central reader
Time frame: Week 12
Clinical response is defined as reduction in PCDAI of ≥ 15 points from Baseline
Time frame: Week 64

Endoscopic remission is defined as SES-CD ≤ 4 with at least a 2-point reduction from Baseline and no subscore > 1, as scored by a central reader
Time frame: Week 64
CS-free clinical remission per PCDAI: clinical remission per PCDAI and not receiving corticosteroids at Week 12 (for Period 1 induction endpoint[s]); or for at least 90 days prior to the study visit at which endpoint is assessed (for Period 1 maintenance endpoint[s] and Period 2 endpoint[s]).
