- Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Remission at Week 6 [ Time Frame: Week 6 ]Clinical remission is defined by a CDAI score of ≤ 150 points. The CDAI measures the severity of active disease using 8 disease variables (stool frequency, severity of abdominal pain, degree of general well-being, presence or absence of extra-intestinal manifestations or fistula, use or non-use of antidiarrheal agents, presence or absence of an abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight). The CDAI score is calculated by summing weighted scores for each item. CDAI scores range from 0 to 600, with higher scores indicating greater disease activity.
- Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a CDAI Response at Week 6 [ Time Frame: Week 6 ]
CDAI response is defined as a reduction from baseline in CDAI score of ≥ 100 points.
The CDAI measures the severity of active disease using 8 disease variables (stool frequency, severity of abdominal pain, degree of general well-being, presence or absence of extra-intestinal manifestations or fistula, use or non-use of antidiarrheal agents, presence or absence of an abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight). The CDAI score is calculated by summing weighted scores for each item. CDAI scores range from 0 to 600, with higher scores indicating greater disease activity.
- Change From Baseline in CDAI at Week 6 [ Time Frame: Baseline and week 6 ]
The CDAI measures the severity of active disease using 8 disease variables (stool frequency, severity of abdominal pain, degree of general well-being, presence or absence of extra-intestinal manifestations or fistula, use or non-use of antidiarrheal agents, presence or absence of an abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight). The CDAI score is calculated by summing weighted scores for each item. CDAI scores range from 0 to 600, with higher scores indicating greater disease activity.
A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
- Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug up to week 12. ]
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participant, including worsening of a pre-existing medical condition. The event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with study treatment. A treatment-emergent AE is an event that occurred after the initiation of study drug or was already present prior to the initiation of study drug but worsened in either intensity or frequency after the initiation of study drug.
A serious AE is an adverse event that met at least one of the following criteria:
- fatal,
- life threatening,
- required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization,
- resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity,
- congenital anomaly/birth defect, and/or
- other significant medical hazard.
The investigator assessed whether each AE was possibly related to the study drug.
- Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of Brodalumab [ Time Frame: After first dose on Day 1 (pre-dose and within 15 minutes after the end of infusion [EOI]), day 4-6, 15, and 29 (pre-dose) and after second dose on day 29 (pre-dose and within 15 minutes after EOI), days 32-34, 43, 57, 64-66, and 85. ]
An optional pharmacokinetic (PK) substudy was offered to participants at a subset of sites and required additional informed consent.
Serum concentrations of brodalumab were measured using a validated analytical method, enzyme-linked immusosorbent assay (ELISA). The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for the assay was 0.0500 μg/mL.
- Time to Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax) of Brodalumab [ Time Frame: After first dose on Day 1 (pre-dose and within 15 minutes after the end of infusion [EOI]), day 4-6, 15, and 29 (pre-dose) and after second dose on day 29 (pre-dose and within 15 minutes after EOI), days 32-34, 43, 57, 64-66, and 85. ]
An optional pharmacokinetic (PK) substudy was offered to participants at a subset of sites and required additional informed consent.
Serum concentrations of brodalumab were measured using a validated analytical method, enzyme-linked immusosorbent assay (ELISA). The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for the assay was 0.0500 μg/mL.
- Area Under the Serum Concentration Versus Time Curve, From Time Zero to the Last Measurable Concentration (AUClast) for Brodalumab [ Time Frame: After first dose on Day 1 (pre-dose and within 15 minutes after the end of infusion [EOI]), day 4-6, 15, and 29 (pre-dose) and after second dose on day 29 (pre-dose and within 15 minutes after EOI), days 32-34, 43, 57, 64-66, and 85. ]
