• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 82
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Objectives: To examine the effect of drug level-based personalized treatment of adalimumab in children with Crohn's disease. Design: A prospective, randomized, open label study. Setting: Pediatric gastroenterology centers. Participants: Children 6 year to 17 years who are diagnosed with CD and are planned to receive adalimumab treatment. Main outcome measures: Pediatric Crohn's Activity Index (PCDAI) at 48 and 72 weeks. Secondary outcome measures: Corticosteroids free remission rates and on adalimumab at 48 and 72 weeks. The effect of routine adalimumab drug monitoring-based treatment on trough levels and anti-adalimumab antibodies during therapy.

Conditions

Crohn's Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Loss of response (LOR) during treatment.

  Patients with loss of response are defined as those with a good initial clinical response to anti-TNFα, with a later clinical and biochemical relapse defined as PCDAI≥10 (for patients in remission) or an increase of 15 points PCDAI from post induction baseline and CRP\> 0.5mg/dl and/or calprotectin\>150µgr/gr

  Week 72

Secondary Outcomes (8)

• Corticosteroids free complete clinical remission, on ADA,

  48 and 72 weeks

• Trough levels

  8, 16, 32, 48, 72 weeks

• Antibodies to adalimumab

  8, 16, 32, 48, 72 weeks

• Anthropometric indices

  0, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, weeks

• Laboratory markers

  0, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, weeks

Study Arms (2)

Interventional

EXPERIMENTAL

Adalimumab levels and antibodies will be obtained with every laboratory examination (every 2 months, except for the first 2 visits). Dose or interval adjustment will be performed as followed:when trough levels results taken prior to ADA injection are above 5 µg/ml no change in dosing is required. Detectable levels below 5 µg/ml will result in interval decrease to every week. If levels are still below 5 µg/ml dose will be increased to 40 mg (in patients receiving less than 40 mg). Undetectable levels below 0.3µg/ml will be followed by antibodies (ATAs) measurement. If ATAs are persistently above 8 µg/ml the patient will discontinue the study. If ATAs are below 8 µg/ml ADA intervals will be decreased to every week.

Drug: Adalimumab

Clinical

NO INTERVENTION

Adalimumab levels and antibodies will be requested based on physician judgment when there are signs of loss of response (LOR). Dose and interval adjustment will be performed according to clinical measures: Following physician decision trough levels and ATAs will be collected and further adjustment may be considered according to results. Interval adjustment will be performed as described for the interventional arm. LOR is defined as PCDAI equal or higher than 10 or CRP higher than 0.5 mg/dl (5mg/l) and/or Fecal calprotectin higher than 150 mcg/gr (If lower than 150 at randomization).

Interventions

Adalimumab DRUG

Eligible patients are those who are planned to start Adalimumab (ADA). Patients will be randomized at the first screening visits to either group 1 (interventional) or group 2 (clinical). Eligible patients, will start induction treatment (weeks 0,2) with ADA (\> 40kg 160/80/40 mg every 2 weeks or \< 40 kg 100/50/25 mg for m2 body surface area every 2 weeks). Interventions will start from the 4th injection for responding patients only (based on levels taken prior to the third injection). Responding patients will continue to the maintenance phase in which they will receive ADA every 2 weeks, either 40 mg or 25 mg/m2. At screening, and every 2 months all patients will be examined and have height, weight, PCDAI performed as well as comprehensive laboratory examinations.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 6 Years - 17 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)

You may qualify if:

• Crohn's disease
• Age 6-17 (inclusive)
• Naïve to biologics
• Informed consent
• Neg. TB-Test, negative HBV- S Ag
• Negative stool culture, parasites and clostridium toxin
• Patients receiving corticosteroids may be included if on taper-down scheduled to be completed by week 10.
• Partial enteral nutrition, accounting for less than 50% of daily required calories, may be supplied as needed.

Excluding immunomodulators (azathioprine/6MP and methotrexate), any other targeted therapy for crohn's disease (i.e 5-ASA) must be stopped prior to ADA first injection. Immunomodulators will be required to be stopped either prior to first ADA injection or at 6 months following ADA initiation.

• Small bowel obstruction within the last 6 months.
• Fixed non inflammatory stricture with related symptoms.
• Prior treatment with infliximab or adalimumab.
• Previous malignancy.
• Sepsis or active bacterial infection.
• Surgery related to Crohn's disease in the previous 8 weeks.
• Positive Hepatitis B surface antigen or evidence for TB.
• IBD unclassified.
