What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Time frame: From Start of the Study up to Study Termination (up to 42 Weeks)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Anti-AIN457 Antibodies

    Anti-AIN457 antibodies were assessed in serum.

    Time frame: From Start of the Study up to Study Termination (up to 42 Weeks)

  2. Change From Baseline in Concentration of Interleukin 17 (IL-17)

    Time frame: Baseline up to Study Termination (up to 42 Weeks)

  3. Change From Baseline in Levels of Fecal Calprotectin and Lactoferrin

    Time frame: Baseline up to Study Termination (up to 42 Weeks)

  4. Change From Baseline in C-Reactive Protein Levels

    Time frame: Baseline up to Study Termination (up to 42 Weeks)

  5. Maximum (Peak) Observed Steady-State Drug Concentration in the Plasma, Blood, Serum, or Other Body Fluids During Multiple Dosing [Amount x Volume-1] (Cmax,ss)

    Time frame: Pre-dose, post dose on week 44 (end of infusion)

  6. Minimum Observed Steady-State Drug Concentration in the Plasma, Blood, Serum, or Other Body Fluids at the End of the Dosing Intervals During Multiple Dosing [Amount x Volume-1] (Cmin,ss)

    Time frame: Pre-dose, post dose on week 44 (end of infusion)

Results

Posted Jul 12, 2021
Limitations and caveats
The study was terminated early as participants were discontinued prematurely due to early termination of the core trial (CAIN457A2202 \[NCT00584740\]). This decision was based on fulfillment of the futility criterion for lack of efficacy, assessed during a scheduled interim analysis in the core trial. Therefore, only very limited information is available from this extension study (CAIN457A2202E1 \[NCT01009281\]).

Participant flow

The study was conducted at 6 centers in 3 countries USA, Canada, Poland between 30-August-2009 (first participant enrolled) to 19-August-2010 (Last participant completed).
