  Purpose

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multiple dose study to evaluate the efficacy of AMG 181 compared with placebo as measured by the proportion of subjects in remission (CDAI score < 150) at week 8. After completing all screening assessments and meeting all eligibility criteria, subjects will be randomized to receive placebo or AMG 181 at various doses per protocol. At the end of the double blind period, subjects will enter an open-label period during which all subjects will receive open-label AMG 181 at a single dose level according to protocol. Subjects who fail to achieve minimal improvement, or experience disease worsening after initial response are eligible to enter the open-label period early beginning at week 12 or after. Subjects that complete the open-label period or early terminate from the study will enter the 2 year safety follow up period.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • CDAI remission [ Time Frame: week 8 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 181 as measured by the proportion of subjects achieving Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) remission (CDAI < 150) at week 8


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • CDAI response [ Time Frame: week 8 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 181 as measured by the proportion of subjects with a CDAI response (defined as either remission or CDAI reduction from baseline of greater than or equal to 100) at week 8

  • Sustained CDAI remission [ Time Frame: week 8 & week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 181 as measured by the proportion of subjects achieving sustained remission, defined as achieving the criteria for remission at both week 8 and week 24

  • CDAI change [ Time Frame: week 8 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To evaluate change from baseline in CDAI at week 8

Detailed Description:

Title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of AMG 181 in Subjects with Moderate to Severe Crohn's Disease Study Phase: 2 Indication: Crohn's Disease (CD) Primary Endpoint: Remission at week 8, as defined by a CDAI score of < 150 Key Secondary Endpoint: Response at week 8, as defined by either remission or a CDAI reduction from baseline of > 100 Other Secondary Endpoints: • Sustained remission, defined as achieving the criteria for remission at both week 8 and week 24 • Change from baseline in CDAI score at week 8 Safety Endpoints: • Adverse events • Serious adverse events • Significant changes in laboratory values and vital signs • Anti-AMG 181 antibodies Sample Size: 252 Summary of Subject Eligibility Criteria: Subjects must have a diagnosis of ileal, ileo-colonic, or colonic Crohn's disease for a minimum of 6 months prior to baseline, with moderate to severe disease activity at baseline defined as a CDAI score ≥ 220 and ≤ 450. Subjects must have demonstrated an inadequate response to, loss of response to, or intolerance to immunomodulators and/or anti-TNF agents. Subjects may continue on stable doses of protocol specified medications to treat CD. Subjects must have a neurological exam free of clinically significant, unexplained signs and symptoms at screening and be free of significant concurrent medical conditions at study entry. If applicable, female subjects must be willing to use two highly effective methods of birth control during the study. Amgen Investigational Product Dosage and Administration: Investigational Product will be administered subcutaneously (SC). During the 24-week double-blind placebo-controlled period, subjects will be randomized to receive either placebo or a selected dose of AMG181 per protocol using repeated injections until week 24. During the open-label period, all subjects will receive AMG 181 per protocol using repeated injections.

Control Group: The double-blind period (first 24 weeks) will be controlled. During this period, the control group will receive placebo

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject has diagnosis of ileal, ileo-colonic, or colonic Crohn's disease for a minimum of 6 months prior to baseline
  • Subject has moderately to severely active Crohn's disease, as defined by a CDAI score > 220 and <450 at baseline
  • Subject has evidence of active inflammation, as demonstrated by at least one of the following: Elevated C-Reactive Protein (CRP) at screening ; Elevated fecal calprotectin at screening; Endoscopic evidence of inflammation within 12 weeks prior to baseline
  • Subject has demonstrated an inadequate response to, loss of response to, or intolerance to at least one of the following agents: Immunomodulators or Anti-TNF agents

  • Subject has stool positive for C. difficile toxin at screening
  • Subject has any uncontrolled or clinically significant systemic disease
  • Subject is known to have tested positive for hepatitis B virus surface antigen, hepatitis C virus antibody, or human immunodeficiency virus

  • Subject has malignancy (other than resected cutaneous basal or cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, or treated in situ cervical cancer considered cured) within 5 years of baseline
  • Subject received an anti-TNF agent, cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, sirolimus (rapamycin), thalidomide, tacrolimus, topical (rectal) aminosalicylic acid (eg, mesalamine) or topical (rectal) steroids, intravenous or intramuscular corticosteroids within protocol-specified time periods.
