Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of MEDI2070 in Patients With Active, Moderate-to-severe Crohn's Disease.

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The study is designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of MEDI2070 as compared to placebo. Investigational product will be administered as intravenous infusion in double-blind period, and as a subcutaneous injection in open-label period

Detailed Description
-----------------
This is a two-part Phase 2a study compromising a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, treatment period followed by a 100-week, open label, treatment period to evaluate short-term efficacy, and the short- and long-term safety of MEDI2070 in subjects with moderate to severe, active CD who have failed or are intolerant to anti-TNFα therapy as determined by the investigator. Approximately 120 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to initially receive a fixed IV dose of MEDI2070 or placebo on Week 0(Day1) and Week 4 (Day 29) during the 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, treatment period. At the completion of the double-blind, placebo-controlled, treatment period (Week 12), subjects will have the option to enter a 100-week, open-label, treatment period where they will receive open-label MEDI2070 (SC) Q4W (Week 12 through Week 112). Subjects will be followed for safety at 3 visits over 28 weeks after their last dose of IP. Subjects will also be contacted by phone 36 weeks after their last dose of IP for safety.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Percentage of Participants With Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Response at Week 8 | A CDAI is a multi-item instrument which measures severity of active Crohn's Disease monitored over 7 days includes subject reported symptoms, physician-assessed signs, and laboratory markers. CDAI score = Sum of weighted scores for subjective items (number of liquid/soft stools, degree of abdominal pain, general well-being); and objective items (associated signs, use of anti-diarrhoeal medication, abdominal mass, haematocrit, daily morning temperature, body weight). CDAI scores range approximately from 0 to 600, higher scores indicating greater disease activity. The CDAI response at Week 8 is defined as either CDAI score of less than (<)150 or CDAI reduction from baseline of at least 100 points, where baseline was last non-missing observation prior to first administration of the study drug. Modified Intent-to-treat (mITT)population was analysed for this end point, which included all subjects who were randomized and received at least 1 dose of study drug in double-blind period. | Week 8 | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Percentage of Participants With CDAI-70 Point Improvement at Week 8 | The CDAI is a multi-item instrument which measures severity of active Crohn's Disease monitored over 7 days and includes subject reported symptoms, physician-assessed signs, and laboratory markers. The CDAI score is calculated by summing weighted scores for subjective items (number of liquid or very soft stools, the degree of abdominal pain over a week and general well-being; and objective items (associated signs, use of anti-diarrhoeal medication, abdominal mass, haematocrit, daily morning temperature, and body weight). The CDAI scores range approximately from 0 to 600, with higher scores indicating greater disease activity. CDAI 70-point improvement is defined as a reduction from baseline in CDAI score of at least 70 points/scores, where baseline was the latest nonmissing observation prior to first administration of the study drug. Subjects in the mITT population were analysed for this end point. | Week 8 | 
| Percentage of Participants With CDAI Response at Week 12 | The CDAI is a multi-item instrument which measures severity of active Crohn's Disease monitored over 7 days and includes subject reported symptoms, physician-assessed signs, and laboratory markers.

The CDAI scores range approximately from 0 to 600, with higher scores indicating greater disease activity. CDAI response is defined by either a CDAI score of < 150 or a CDAI reduction from baseline of at least 100 points, where baseline was the latest non-missing observation prior to first administration of the study drug. Subjects in the mITT population were analysed for this end point. | Week 12 | 
| Percentage of Participants With CDAI Remission at Week 8 | The CDAI is a multi-item instrument which measures severity of active Crohn's Disease monitored over 7 days and includes subject reported symptoms, physician-assessed signs, and laboratory markers.
