Study Overview

This is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 induction study, comprised of 3 sub-studies, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of duvakitug in participants with moderately to severely active CD. Study details include:

The study duration may be up to 35 weeks with:

  • Up to 5-week Screening Period.
  • 12-week Sub-Study 1 (Single Arm Open-Label Feeder Induction) or Sub-Study 2 (Pivotal Induction).
  • 12-week Sub-Study 3 (Extended Induction for non-responders).
  • 6 weeks (45 days) follow-up period for participants who do not enroll into the Pivotal Maintenance Study (EFC18327). The treatment duration will be up to 12 weeks in each sub-study.

The number of scheduled study visits for participants who continue to the Pivotal Maintenance Study (EFC18327) will be up to 8 (Sub-Study 1 and Sub-Study 2) and up to 15 for participants who enroll in Sub-Study 3.

Eligibility Criteria

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Crohn's Disease
  • Age: 16 years - 80 years
  • Gender: All

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants aged ≥18 and ≤80 years of age at Screening. Where permitted locally, participants 16 to <18 years of age who meet the definition of Tanner Stage 5 for development
  • Confirmed diagnosis of moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease (CD) for at least 3 months prior to baseline
  • Demonstrated inadequate response, have shown loss of response or intolerance to conventional therapies or advanced therapies (ATs)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) or indeterminate colitis
  • Participants with two entire missing segments of the: terminal ileum, right colon transverse colon, sigmoid and left colon, and rectum
  • Prior or current high-grade gastrointestinal (GI) dysplasia
  • Participants on treatment with but not on stable doses of conventional therapy prior to baseline
  • Participants receiving prohibited medications or therapies
  • Participants with previous exposure to anti-TL1A investigational therapy

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a participant's potential participation in a clinical trial.

The purpose of this research study is to learn about the effects and safety of an investigational study drug in people with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease.

Participants will receive the investigational study drug. Some participants will receive a placebo. A placebo looks like the investigational study drug but does not contain active medication. The study includes different parts, including an extended treatment period for some people who do not respond at first.

Who can participate:
People with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease may be able to participate if they:

  • Are 18 to 80 years old (in some locations, 16 to 17 years old may be able to join if they have reached full physical development)
  • Have had Crohn’s disease for at least three months
  • Have tried conventional or advanced treatments that did not work well enough, stopped working, or caused difficult side effects

Study timeline and visits:
Participation may last up to 35 weeks. The number of scheduled study visits may be up to 8 for some participants and up to 15 for others.
