Study Summary

This study will compare two different dosing methods of azathioprine (IMURAN) in participants with Crohn's disease who are currently taking steroids (e.g. prednisone or budesonide)or who have just started steroids. The study can be up to 54 weeks long. All participants enrolled will receive active drug. Participants will take doses either based upon weight or based on the patient's ability to breakdown the drug (monitored by 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGN) metabolite levels in the blood). All patients enrolled in the study will receive active study drug.

Primary Outcome

For the steroid-dependent subjects, clinical remission was defined as complete withdrawal of corticosteroids, and Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score \<150 in adults, or modified CDAI (mCDAI) score \<150 in children. For the steroid-refractory and the steroid-naıve subjects, clinical remission was defined as CDAI score \<150 (or mCDAI \<150 in children), and a reduction of at least 70 points from the baseline score (CDAI or mCDAI), and complete withdrawal of corticosteroids.
