Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Response at Week 48 |
Endoscopic response defined as showing a reduction from baseline in simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD) of greater than or equal to (>=) 50 percent (%). SES-CD is a validated instrument reflecting an endoscopist global appraisal of mucosal lesions in Crohn's disease. SES-CD grades lesions by location (5 bowel segments: ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum) using 4 endoscopic variables: ulcer size, extent of ulcerated surface, extent of affected surface, and presence/type of narrowing. Total SES-CD is sum of 4 variables for all 5 bowel segments. Scores range from 0-60 with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Randomized participants who stopped treatment before reaching Week 48 due to any reason, or participants without endoscopic data at Week 48 were analyzed as nonresponders. |

Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Response at Week 48 (Premature Drop-outs Excluded) |
Endoscopic response defined as showing a reduction from baseline in SES-CD (a validated instrument reflecting an endoscopist's global appraisal of mucosal lesions) score of >=50%. SES-CD grades lesions by location (5 bowel segments: ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum) using 4 endoscopic variables: ulcer size, extent of ulcerated surface, extent of affected surface, and presence/type of narrowing. Total SES-CD is calculated as sum of 4 variables for 5 bowel segments. Scores ranges 0-60. Higher scores indicates more severe disease. Randomized participants who stopped treatment before reaching Week 48 due to reasons other than lack/loss of efficacy were excluded from analysis. |

Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Response at Week 48 (Last Observation Carried Forward [LOCF]) |
Endoscopic response defined as a reduction from baseline in SES-CD score of >= 50%. SES-CD is a validated instrument reflecting an endoscopist global appraisal of mucosal lesions in Crohn's disease. SES-CD grades lesions by location (5 bowel segments: ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum) using 4 endoscopic variables: ulcer size, extent of ulcerated surface, extent of affected surface, and presence/type of narrowing. The total SES-CD was calculated as the sum of the 4 variables for the 5 bowel segments. Scores range from 0 to 60, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.

Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response at Weeks 16, 48, and Endpoint (Week 48 [LOCF]) |
Clinical response defined as a >=100-point reduction from the baseline in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score, or a CDAI score of <150. The CDAI score is used to quantify the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity. In general, CDAI score ranges from 0 to approximately 600; higher score indicates higher disease activities. Participants with missing data were considered as non-responder. LOCF: Participants who had a missing value at Week 48 or who stopped treatment before reaching Week 48 had their last non-missing value carried forward. Endpoint is defined as the last available postbaseline result within the main analysis period (that is, first 48 weeks of the study). |

Change From Baseline in European Quality Of Life 5 Dimensions 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score |
EQ-5D-5L, validated quality-of-life instrument completed by participants. It consists of EQ-5D-5L descriptive system and EQ-VAS. EQ-5D-5L descriptive system comprises 5 dimensions of health (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) describes participants current health state. Each dimension scores where 1 indicates no problems and 5 indicates extreme problems. EQ-5D-5L VAS records the respondent's self-rated, visual analogue scale score on a scale of 0-100, where 0 labelled as 'the worst health you can imagine and 100 labelled 'the best health you can imagine.' LOCF: Participants who had a missing value at Week 48 or who stopped treatment before reaching Week 48 had their last non-missing value carried forward.

The level of fatigue is measured on a 4-point Likert scale (0=very much fatigue to 4=not at all fatigue). The sum of all responses resulted in the FACIT-Fatigue score for a total possible score of 0 (worst score) to 52 (best score). LOCF: Participants who had a missing value at Week 48 or who stopped treatment before reaching Week 48 had their last non-missing value carried forward.
