Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Remission at Week 4

    Time frame: Week 4

    Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) is used to assess the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. Scores generally range from 0 to 600, where clinical remission of Crohn's disease is defined as CDAI < 150, and very severe disease is defined as CDAI > 450.

  2. Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Response at Week 12

    Time frame: Week 12

    Endoscopic response was scored using the Simplified Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD). The SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [very large]; ulcerated surface ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [>30%]; affected surface ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [>75%], and narrowing ranging from 0 [none] to 3 [cannot be passed]) in 5 segments assessed during ileocolonoscopy (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, sigmoid and left colon, and rectum). The total score is the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores and range from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate more severe disease. Endoscopic response was defined as SES-CD total score > 50% from Baseline (or for a Baseline SES-CD of 4, at least a 2 point reduction from Baseline) at Week 12.

  3. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: From first dose of study drug until 70 days following last dose of study drug in the induction study (up to 12 weeks) or maintenance study (up to 56 weeks).

    Adverse event (AE): any untoward medical occurrence that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either probably related, possibly related, probably not related or not related. Serious AE (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. TEAEs: any event that began or worsened in severity after the first dose of study drug in the induction or maintenance study. Events with unknown severity were counted as severe. Events with unknown relationship to study drug were counted as drug-related.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Clinical Remission (Per CDAI) at Both Weeks 4 and 12

    Time frame: Week 4 and Week 12

    CDAI is used to assess the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. Scores generally range from 0 to 600, where clinical remission of Crohn's disease is defined as CDAI < 150, and very severe disease is defined as CDAI > 450.

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Clinical Response at Week 4 and Endoscopic Response at Week 12

Clinical response was defined as a decrease in CDAI ≥ 70 points from Baseline.

The total score is the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores and range from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate more severe disease. Endoscopic response was defined as SES-CD total score >50% from Baseline (or for Baseline SES-CD of 4, at least a 2-point reduction from Baseline) at Week 12.

  3. Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission at Week 12

    Time frame: Week 12

    Clinical remission was scored using the CDAI. CDAI assesses the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. Scores generally range from 0 to 600, where clinical remission of Crohn's disease is defined as CDAI < 150, and very severe disease is defined as CDAI > 450.

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Corticosteroid Use and Achieved Clinical Remission at Week 12 Among Participants Taking Corticosteroids at Baseline

    Time frame: Week 12

    Clinical remission was scored using the CDAI. CDAI assesses the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. Scores generally range from 0 to 600, where clinical remission of Crohn's disease is defined as CDAI < 150, and very severe disease is defined as CDAI > 450.

  5. Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Remission at Week 12

    Time frame: Week 12

The total score is the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores and range from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate more severe disease. Endoscopic remission was defined as SES-CD ≤ 4 and at least a 2-point reduction versus baseline and no subscore greater than 1 in any individual variable.
