Summary

The study is designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of daily treatment for 12 weeks of oral administration of a delayed release, locally delivered 6MP (mercaptopurine) drug (80 mg), as compared to standard Purinethol (at a dose of 1-1.5 mg/kg/body weight), in alleviating the clinical, immunological and mucosal signs and symptoms of moderately active Crohn's Disease

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Delayed Release 6 mercaptopurine

Delayed Release oral tablet for ileal drug delivery, 80 mg, once nightly before bedtime, for 12 weeks. Since the study drug must be blinded, patients randomized to this arm will receive the following: 80 mg DR-6MP: 2 active 40 mg DR-6MP tablets.

DRUG

6 Mercaptopurine

Oral tablet(s) to be administered once daily in the AM, for 12 weeks.Purinethol is available only as a 50 mg tablet; patients randomized to this arm will receive varying doses (dependent on baseline body weight and AE profile) throughout the study;and study drug to be blinded. Therefore, patients randomized to this arm to receive combination active Purinethol/comparable placebo. For ex: 50 mg Purinethol= 1 active 50 mg tablet, 2 comparable placebo tablets; 100 mg Purinethol = 2 active 50 mg tablets, 1 placebo tablet; 150 mg Purinethol = 3 active 50 mg tablets. Patients receiving 75 mg or 125 mg will receive alternating daily doses of 50 and 100 mg, or 100 and 150 mg, respectively, to arrive at a weekly average dose of 75 mg or 125 mg.
