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.
