Being conducted at around 150 clinical sites across the US, Canada, Europe, Israel, Australia and New Zealand, the randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III trial enrolled a total of 331 subjects.
Designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of RHB-104 in patients suffering from moderate to severely active Crohn’s disease, the trial will assess disease remission as the primary endpoint.
The firm is also conducting an open-label extension Phase III MAP US2 study to monitor the safety and efficacy of RHB-104 in subjects who remain with active Crohn’s disease following 26 weeks of treatment in the MAP US trial.
Patients will be treated for an additional period of 52 weeks during the extension study, with its primary endpoint being disease remission at week 16.
