What this trial is about
MAINTAIN-POP is a Phase 2, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study of the impact of oral administration of EXL01 in the prevention of post-operative endoscopic recurrence of Crohn's disease after surgery. Approximately 80 eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive oral EXL01 or placebo with or without SoC treatment (based on investigator decision) for up to 24 weeks or until a study or treatment discontinuation criterion is met. Randomisation will be stratified on post-surgical treatment (none vs anti-TNF), and on smoking status (non-smoker vs smoker). The primary objective is to compare the distribution of endoscopic modified Rutgeerts scores, as centrally assessed, at 6 months post-surgery in patients with CD treated with EXL01 to patients treated with placebo. Endoscopic recurrence will be assessed using the endoscopic score assessed by central reading at Week 24 after surgery. All participants will be followed for safety until 4 weeks after end of treatment.
