A Long-Term Extension Study to Evaluate the Safety of Filgotinib in Subjects with Crohn's Disease

About this Study

Crohn's disease (CD) is a relapsing and remitting form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes gastrointestinal signs and symptoms of diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and the passage of blood or mucous per rectum. The inflammation of CD can involve the mucosal surface of the gastrointestinal tract and penetrate through the full thickness of the gastrointestinal
wall, including the serosal surface. A need for safer, better tolerated, durable efficacious therapies for patients with CD exists. Despite significant uptake in the use of anti-TNF agents, tolerability of anti-TNFs due to allergic and autoimmune reactions, lack of durable response, and significant increased risk of infection remain problematic. Filgotinib is a once daily, oral therapy that may prove efficacious without the risk of allergic and autoimmune phenomena observed with anti-TNF agents.This is a long-term extension study to provide treatment with filgotinib for subjects with moderately to severely active CD (who have completed or met protocol specified efficacy
discontinuation criteria in a prior Gilead-sponsored filgotinib treatment study for CD) for
144 weeks.

2) Known hypersensitivity to the study drug 

3) Any chronic medical condition (including, but not limited to, cardiac or pulmonary disease, alcohol or drug abuse) that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor, would make the subject unsuitable for the study or would prevent compliance with the study protocol
