Efficacy and Safety of Adalimumab in Pediatric Subjects With Moderate to Severe Crohn's Disease

1. Subjects between the ages of 6 and 17, inclusive, prior to baseline dosing. 2. Subjects with a diagnosis of Crohn's disease for greater than 12 weeks prior to screening, confirmed by endoscopy or radiologic evaluation. 3. PCDAI > 30 despite concurrent treatment with an oral corticosteroid, and/or azathioprine (AZA) or 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) or methotrexate (MTX) as defined below: - Oral corticosteroid - Prednisone of ≥ 10 mg/day or equivalent, but not exceeding 40 mg, with a stable dose for at least two weeks prior to Baseline. - Azathioprine or 6-MP - AZA dose of ≥ 1.5 mg/kg/day or 6-MP dose of ≥ 1 mg/kg/day rounded to the nearest available tablet formulation, or a dose that is the highest tolerated for the subject, in the opinion of the investigator (for example due to leukopenia, elevated liver enzymes, nausea, etc.) for at least 8 weeks prior to Baseline with a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to Baseline. - MTX dose of ≥ 5 mg once weekly, either subcutaneously (SC), intramuscularly (IM), or orally for subjects whose body weight is ≥ 20 kg, or a dose that is the highest tolerated for the subject, in the opinion of the investigator (for example due to leukopenia, elevated liver enzymes, nausea, etc.) for at least 8 weeks prior to Baseline with a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to Baseline. - MTX dose of 0.2 mg/kg, up to 5 mg, once weekly, either SC, IM, or orally for subjects whose body weight is < 20 kg, or a dose that is the highest tolerated for the subject, in the opinion of the investigator (for example due to leukopenia, elevated liver enzymes, nausea, etc.) for at least 8 weeks prior to Baseline with a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to Baseline. - Concurrent therapy will not be required for subjects who within the past 2 years in the opinion of the Investigator have not responded to or could not tolerate systemic corticosteroids, AZA, 6-MP, or MTX as defined below: - Corticosteroids: - Failed to successfully respond to corticosteroids, or - Medical complications and/or adverse events (AEs) from corticosteroids that in the judgment of their physician, precludes their use (e.g. psychosis, uncontrolled diabetes, osteoporosis, or osteonecrosis). - Azathioprine, 6-MP or MTX: - - Failed to successfully respond to these drugs or - Medical complications and/or AEs that in the judgment of their physician, precludes their use (e.g. allergic reaction, pancreatitis, elevated liver enzymes, hepatitis or leukopenia). 4. If female, subjects who were sexually active and were of child-bearing potential practicing an approved method of birth control throughout the study and for 150 days after study completion. Examples of approved methods of birth control included the following: - Condoms, sponge,foam,jellies,diaphragm, or intrauterine device (IUD) - Oral,parenteral, or intravaginal contraceptives for 12 weeks prior to adalimumab administration - A vasectomized partner. 5. Parent or legal guardian,as required,had voluntarily signed and dated an informed consent form (IFC), approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB)/ Independent Ethics Committee (IEC). 6. Adequate cardiac, renal and hepatic function as determined by principal investigator and demonstrated by Screening laboratory evaluations, questionnaires, and physical examination results that are within normal limits. 7. Parent or legal guardian was willing to actively supervise storage and administration of study drug and to ensure that the time of each dose was accurately recorded in the subject's diary. 8. Subjects who had previously received infliximab, providing the subject had an initial response and then discontinued use due to a loss of response, or discontinued use due to intolerance.

1. History of cancer or lymphoproliferative disease other than a successfully and completely treated cutaneous squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma or carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix. 2. History of listeria, histoplasmosis, chronic or active hepatitis B infection, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), an immunodeficiency syndrome, central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating disease, or active tuberculosis (TB) (receiving treatment or not receiving treatment), severe infections such as sepsis and opportunistic infections. 3.

Subjects with a poorly controlled medical condition such as: uncontrolled diabetes, recurrent infections, unstable ischemic heart disease, moderate to severe heart failure, recent cerebrovascular accidents and any other condition which, in the opinion of the investigator or the Sponsor, would put the subject at risk by participation in the protocol. 15. Subjects with positive C. difficile stool assay. 16. Subject who previously used infliximab within eight weeks of Baseline. 17.
