Phase III Study of D9421-C 9 mg in Patients With Active Crohn's Disease in Japan

For the primary efficacy variable "Remission after 8 weeks of treatment", Crohn's Disease Activity Index CDAI scores was used to determine the patient's response. Remission for this study is defined as a CDAI score of ≤150. A patient who drops out without any remission before week 8 was considered as a nonresponder (no remission) for this analysis. A patient who drops out before Week 8, but was in remission at the time of dropout, was considered in remission after dropout in this analysis.

For the secondary efficacy variable "Remission after 2 weeks of treatment", Crohn's Disease Activity Index CDAI scores was used to determine the patient's response. Remission for this study is defined as a CDAI score of ≤150.

For the secondary efficacy variable "Remission after 4 weeks of treatment", Crohn's Disease Activity Index CDAI scores was used to determine the patient's response. Remission for this study is defined as a CDAI score of ≤150.

Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score is calculated based on the data collected in the diary card. The total CDAI score ranges from 0 to approximately 600, a higher scores indicating more severe disease. The target population of total CDAI score 180 to 400 is defined mild to modarate active Crohn's disease. Total CDAI score 150 less or equal is evaluated as a remission.

Patients are asked to fill the following items in the diary card (from the morning in preceding day to the morning in current day). (1) Number of liquid or very soft stools (2) Abdominal pain rating (none, mild, moderate, severe) (3) General well-being (generally well, slightly under par, poor, very poor, terrible) (4) Body temperature (if a patient feels fever) (5) Intake of loperamide or other opiates for diarrhoea. The data for the calculation of CDAI score in diary card is then transcribed by the investigator(s) into the eCRFs at each clinical visit.

Remission rate is defined as CDAI score of less than or equal to 150. Cumulative remission rate at Week 2 is obtained by Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimates.

Remission rate is defined as CDAI score of less than or equal to 150. Cumulative remission rate at Week 4 is obtained by Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimates.

Remission rate is defined as CDAI score of less than or equal to 150. Cumulative remission rate at Week 8 is obtained by Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimates.

Clinical improvement is defined as CDAI score of <=150 or a decrease in CDAI score from baseline of at least 70 points.

The Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) is a standard measure of HRQL in Crohn's disease patients (Guyatt G et al 1989). The validated Japanese version of the IBDQ was used in this study (Hashimoto H et al 2003). The IBDQ contains 32 questions; each with seven possible answers ranging from 1 to 7, where 7 is the most favourable. Ten questions are related to bowel symptoms, five to systemic symptoms, twelve to emotional function, and five to social function. The corresponding answers will be added to form four subscores and a total score: bowel function score (10 - 70), systemic symptom score (5 - 35), emotional function score (12 - 84), social function score (5 - 35) and the total score (32 - 224), with higher scores indicating more favorable outcome.
