Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Remission at Week 24 |
Endoscopic remission: simple endoscopic score for crohn's disease (SES-CD) less than or equal to (<=) 2, total SES-CD <=4, a decrease in total SES-CD greater than or equal to (>=) 2 from baseline, and no subtotal SES-CD >1 for each endoscopic parameter (for isolated ileal, ileocolonic and isolated colonic CD), rutgeerts score <=i1 (for post-operation CD). SES-CD: assesses disease severity based on 4 endoscopic parameters across 5 ileocolonic segments. Total SES-CD = 0 to 56,higher scores = more severe disease. Rutgeerts score: assess postoperative disease recurrence with no lesions (i0); <=5 aphthous lesions (i1); >5 aphthous ulcers with normal intervening mucosa/patchy areas of larger lesions/lesions confined to ileocolic anastomosis (i2); diffuse aphthous ileitis and diffusely inflamed mucosa (i3); diffuse inflammation with large ulcers, nodules, and/or stenosis (i4). |

Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Response at Week 24 |
Endoscopic response is defined as >50 percent (%) decrease from baseline in total SES-CD. The SES-CD is a scoring system to assess disease severity in participants with CD. The SES-CD score is based on the evaluation of 4 endoscopic components: size of ulcers, surface ulceration, affected surface size, and presence of luminal narrowing across 5 predefined ileocolonic segments (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon and rectum). Each component score= 0 to 3 for each segment with total SES-CD score ranges from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicates more severe disease. |

Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission at Week 24 |
Clinical remission is achieved when total crohn's disease activity index (CDAI) <150 or total of harvey-bradshaw index (HBI) score <5. CDAI assesses CD based on variables: extra-intestinal manifestations, abdominal mass, weight, hematocrit, total number of liquid stools, abdominal pain, use of antidiarrheal drug(s) and general well-being. CDAI score: asymptomatic remission: <150, mild: 150-220, moderate: 221-450, severe: >450. HBI parameters: general well-being (0-4, higher score means lower well-being), abdominal pain (0-3, higher score means more severe pain), number of liquid stools per day (score 1 per movement), abdominal mass (0=none, 1=dubious, 2=definite, 3=definite and tender) and complications (score 1 per item). Total score is sum of individual parameters. Score ranges from 0 to no pre-specified maximum score as it depends on number of complications and liquid stools per day. HBI score: <5 (remission), 5-7 (mild disease), 8-16 (moderate disease) and >16 (severe disease). |
