The company reports that in a Phase II study of Prochymal for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe Crohn's Disease who had failed to respond to standard treatments, every patient evaluated experienced a reduction in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI), signifying a reduction in the disease severity.
The recruited 40 patients--20 in each treatment group, were evaluated with the help of a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) questionnaire, an Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), the 21-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and an 8-item Visual Analogue Scale (VA-Scale) in 2-week intervals during the first 10 study weeks, and then at week 12, 16 and 20, which were the trial-medication free observation periods.
They used the Clinical Assessment Scale for Child and Adolescent Psychopathology and questionnaires to analyze self-, parent, and physician ratings for health-related quality of life, emotional problems, and disease severity as defined by the pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index.
In a Phase II study of PROCHYMAL for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe Crohn's Disease who had failed to respond to standard therapies, every patient evaluated experienced a reduction in Crohn's Disease Activity Index or CDAI, signifying a reduction in the disease severity.
PROCHYMAL is also being evaluated for the treatment of Crohn's Disease and has completed a Phase II trial, which demonstrated positive results, including a significant reduction in the Crohn's Disease Activity Index.
These results are consistent with previously reported data from the Phase 2 clinical trial showing that blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) dropped and Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) scores decreased among patients who received Traficet-EN as compared to those on placebo.
In addition, the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) also decreased in patients on study drug.
In the study, every patient evaluated reported a reduction in Crohn's Disease Activity Index or CDAI after receiving two infusions of PROCHYMAL.
