Clinical Trial Summary

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic disease with a heterogeneous clinical presentation, relapse rate and treatment response. Insufficient control of mucosal inflammation results in irreversible bowel damage and complications and at present no markers are available to predict such a complicated disease course at diagnosis. Therefore, to prevent overtreatment of low risk patients, step-up treatment with subsequent introduction of corticosteroids, thiopurines maintenance and TNF-blockers if a previous category fails is standard care. Combination treatment with thiopurines and a TNF-blocker is more effective than monotherapy but associated with a higher risk for infectious complications. Landmark studies convincingly showed an improved long-term outcome if the TNF-blocker infliximab is introduced early after diagnosis. The standard step-care approach thus prolongs steroid exposure and delays start of disease modifying biologicals in high risks patients. Given the higher efficacy of combination therapy with a thiopurine of infliximab and potential allergic reactions and lower response rates after re-initiation of this chimeric biological, temporary monotherapy with this TNF-blocker has not been studied as first line treatment before. Adalimumab is a humanised monoclonal antibody and subsequently, combination therapy of adalimumab + thiopurines has only a marginal effect on anti-drug anti-body formation. Furthermore, combination therapy with adalimumab does not enhance the clinical response. Therefore, periodic treatment with adalimumab in combination with close monitoring after drug-discontinuation, in newly diagnosed CD might improve outcome, reduce drug-related side effects while still preventing overtreatment. The aim of this study is to compare the long-term efficacy and safety of periodic adalimumab as initial treatment in newly diagnosed CD patients compared to standard step-care with corticosteroid/budesonide as the initial treatment

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
