AbbVie said epadacitinib achieved clinical remission and
endoscopic response at one year in a Phase 3 maintenance study in
patients with Crohn's disease.
The company said it had positive topline results from U-ENDURE,
its Phase 3 maintenance study evaluating upadacitinib in adult
patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease who had an
inadequate response or were intolerant to a conventional or
biologic therapy.
The results showed that more patients treated with either dose
of upadacitinib--15 mg or 30 mg once daily--achieved the co-primary
objective of endoscopic response and clinical remission, and the
secondary endpoint of endoscopic remission, at one year compared to
placebo.
Use of upadacitinib in Crohn's disease hasn't been evaluated by
health authorities. Results from the U-ENDURE maintenance study, in
addition to results from the U-EXCEED and U-EXCEL induction
studies, will be included in future regulatory submissions, AbbVie
said.
