17. Known substance abuse in the previous 2 years

18. Nursing mothers or pregnant women

19. Use of native GLP-2, growth hormone, or growth factors within 3 months of signing informed consent

20. Use of any of the prior or concomitant medications described in section 5.4, except as specified

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The primary efficacy variable is the percentage of subjects who respond to treatment, defined as the percentage of subjects who are in remission (CDAI less than 150) or have a 100-point or greater reduction from baseline in CDAI score at dosing Week 8.		8 weeks of treatment
Secondary	The various secondary efficacy variables are based on the CDAI, Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), plasma citrulline and laboratory inflammatory markers.		8 weeks of treatment
