Summary description of the study

Crohn's disease (CD) is a gastrointestinal disorder that can cause chronic diarrhea with or without significant bleeding, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fever. This study examines the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of Risankizumab in children and adolescents aged 2 to < 18 years with moderate to severe active CD who are intolerant to other therapies or have responded inadequately. Risankizumab is an approved medication for adults with plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and CD, and is being developed for the treatment of CD in pediatrics. This study consists of 3 cohorts that may participate in 3 sub-studies (SS). In cohort 1, patients aged 6 to under 18 years are enrolled. In cohort 2, patients aged 2 to under 6 years are enrolled. In cohort 3, patients aged 2 to under 18 years are enrolled. SS1 is an open-label induction phase where participants receive a weight-based induction therapy with Risankizumab. SS2 is a double-blind maintenance phase where participants are randomized to receive one of two doses of the weight-based induction therapy with Risankizumab. SS3 is an open continuation phase where participants receive Risankizumab based on their response in SS2. Approximately 110 children and adolescents with CD will be enrolled at approximately 100 study centers worldwide.

Intervention under investigation

Participants in SS1 receive Risankizumab intravenously during the 12-week induction phase. Participants in SS2 receive Risankizumab subcutaneously during the 52-week randomized maintenance phase. Participants in SS3 receive Risankizumab subcutaneously during the 208-week open phase. Participants will be followed for approximately 140 days.
