Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Clinical Remission at Week 44
Week 44

Clinical remission at Week 44 was defined as a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of \<150 points (in general, CDAI score ranges from 0 to approximately 600; higher score indicates higher disease activities). CDAI was assessed by collecting information on 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables (extra-intestinal manifestations, abdominal mass, weight, hematocrit, total number of liquid stools, abdominal pain/cramping, use of antidiarrheal drug(s) and/or opiates, and general well-being). A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity.
