Study summary

This study is a non-interventional, observational study of Humira® in the treatment of pediatric CD as per the New Drug Re-examination Guideline in Korea. This study will be conducted in institutions which provide a written agreement to AbbVie Korea, and where the use of Humira® for pediatric CD is following their normal medical practice setting. Pediatric patients who are prescribed Humira® as per physician's medical judgment in accordance with the approved Korean local label will be enrolled in the study. As this is a post marketing surveillance, AbbVie is NOT involved in the product supply since the drug is being used according to the approved marketing label and is to be prescribed by the physician under usual and customary practice of physician prescription.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)/Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs), Serious AEs/ADRs and Unexpected AEs/ADRs

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with their treatment. If an AE meets any of the following criteria, it is considered a serious AE: results in death, is life-threatening, results in hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is an important medical event requiring medical or surgical intervention to prevent serious outcome. An ADR label was used for an AE when causal relationship with a pharmaceutical drug could not be excluded.

    Time frame: From Day 0 (informed consent) to up to 70 days following the last administration of Humira®. The mean length of treatment was 52.81 (±45.58) weeks (calculated based on participants with available start date data [n=142]).
