Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With Remission at Week 8
Week 8

Remission was defined as a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score \< 150 at week 8. The CDAI is a weighted, composite index of 8 disease variables (stool frequency, severity of abdominal pain, degree of general well-being, presence or absence of extra-intestinal manifestations or fistula, use or non-use of antidiarrheal agents, presence or absence of an abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight). Scores range from approximately 0 to 600, with a higher score indicating more-severe disease activity. The remission rate (percentage of participants with remission) was calculated based on observed data (unadjusted remission rate) and also after applying a logistic regression model including the factors of treatment group, stratification factors (prior anti-TNF use and pre- versus post-Protocol Amendment 3) and baseline CDAI Score (adjusted remission rate).

To assess the number of adverse events per subject, after multiple subcutaneous doses of AMG 181 in in healthy subjects, in subjects with active ulcerative colitis, and in subjects with active Crohn's disease.

Frequently asked questions about Abrilumab

What is abrilumab used for?

Abrilumab was studied for the treatment of moderate to severe Crohn's disease and moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, two inflammatory bowel diseases. It is an investigational monoclonal antibody developed by Amgen Inc. and has been evaluated in Phase 2 clinical trials in adults aged 18 years and older.

What does abrilumab target?

Abrilumab targets the integrins ITGA4 and ITGB7, acting as an inhibitor of these targets. By binding these integrin subunits, the monoclonal antibody is designed to interfere with the integrin-mediated pathways involved in the inflammatory processes underlying Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

Who is developing abrilumab?

Abrilumab is being developed by Amgen Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker AMGN. Amgen sponsored the Phase 2 clinical trials of abrilumab, also known as AMG 181, in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

What phase is abrilumab in?

Abrilumab is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational monoclonal antibody and has not been approved by the FDA. The completed Phase 2 trials evaluated abrilumab in adults with moderate to severe Crohn's disease and moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.

What clinical trials is abrilumab in?

Abrilumab has been studied in two completed Phase 2 trials: NCT01696396 in adults with moderate to severe Crohn's disease, which enrolled 254 participants, and NCT01694485 in adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, which enrolled 359 participants. Both were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials conducted across multiple countries.

Is abrilumab the same as AMG 181?

Yes, abrilumab is also known as AMG 181. The two names refer to the same investigational monoclonal antibody developed by Amgen Inc. The Phase 2 trials in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis were conducted under the AMG 181 designation.
