Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Clinical Response at Week 6
Baseline and Week 6

Clinical response at Week 6 was defined as a reduction from baseline in the Crohn's Disease Activity Index score of greater than or equal (\>=) 100 points (in general, CDAI score ranges from 0 to approximately 600; higher score indicates higher disease activities). Participants with a baseline CDAI score of \> = 220 to less than or equal (\< =) 248 were considered to be in clinical response if a CDAI score of less than (\<) 150 was attained. A CDAI score of less than 150 indicates clinical remission. A decrease in CDAI score over time indicates improvement in disease activity.

Frequently asked questions about Group 2 ustekinumab

What is Group 2 ustekinumab used for?

Group 2 ustekinumab is used for the treatment of moderately to severely active Crohn's disease, a form of inflammatory bowel disease. It was studied in adults, including patients who had failed or were intolerant to tumor necrosis factor antagonist therapy, as well as patients who had not previously received those agents.

Who is developing Group 2 ustekinumab?

Group 2 ustekinumab is developed by Johnson & Johnson, which trades under the ticker JNJ. The company sponsored the Phase 3 clinical program evaluating the therapy in Crohn's disease.

What phase is Group 2 ustekinumab in?

Group 2 ustekinumab is in Phase 3 clinical development for Crohn's disease. Both of its registered trials, UNITI-1 and UNITI-2, have been completed, and the program enrolled a total of 1,409 patients across the two studies.

What clinical trials is Group 2 ustekinumab in?

Group 2 ustekinumab was evaluated in two completed Phase 3 trials: NCT01369342, known as UNITI-2, which enrolled 640 patients, and NCT01369329, known as UNITI-1, which enrolled 769 patients. Both were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in moderately to severely active Crohn's disease.

How was Group 2 ustekinumab studied in Crohn's disease?

Group 2 ustekinumab was studied in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trials in adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. UNITI-1 enrolled patients who had failed or were intolerant to TNF antagonist therapy, while UNITI-2 enrolled a broader patient population. Both trials are completed.
