Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With Remission at Week 8
Week 8

Remission was defined as a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score \< 150 at week 8. The CDAI is a weighted, composite index of 8 disease variables (stool frequency, severity of abdominal pain, degree of general well-being, presence or absence of extra-intestinal manifestations or fistula, use or non-use of antidiarrheal agents, presence or absence of an abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight). Scores range from approximately 0 to 600, with a higher score indicating more-severe disease activity. The remission rate (percentage of participants with remission) was calculated based on observed data (unadjusted remission rate) and also after applying a logistic regression model including the factors of treatment group, stratification factors (prior anti-TNF use and pre- versus post-Protocol Amendment 3) and baseline CDAI Score (adjusted remission rate).

To assess the number of adverse events per subject, after multiple subcutaneous doses of AMG 181 in in healthy subjects, in subjects with active ulcerative colitis, and in subjects with active Crohn's disease.
