Arm 2 - Induction
Subjects are randomized to receive a standard induction regimen of adalimumab. After the induction regimen is provided, subjects in this arm will receive blinded adalimumab until Week 12. No placebo arm is planned.

Drug: Adalimumab
Other Name: Humira |
Arm 2 Maintenance
Subjects are re-randomized at Week 14 to the therapeutic drug monitoring regimen.

- Proportion of participants who achieve clinical remission [ Time Frame: At Week 4 ]Clinical remission will be scored using Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI).
- Proportion of participants who achieve endoscopic response [ Time Frame: At Week 12 ]Endoscopic response will be scored using Simplified Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease.
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug until 70 days following last dose of study drug (up to 65 weeks). ]An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either probably related, possibly related, probably not related or not related. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent events (TEAEs/TESAEs) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity after the first dose of study drug. For more details on adverse events please see the Adverse Event section.
- Proportion of participants achieving response in IBDQ fatigue item [ Time Frame: At Week 12 ]Response will be scored using IBDQ fatigue item score.
- Proportion of participants achieving response in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) Bowel Symptom domain [ Time Frame: At Week 4 and week 12 ]Response will be scored using IBDQ symptom domain score.
- Proportion of participants with clinical response [ Time Frame: At Week 4 and week 12 ]Clinical response will be scored using Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI).
- Proportion of participants who achieve an SES-CD <=2 [ Time Frame: At Week 12 ]Participants who achieve SES-CD <=2 are determined
- Proportion of participants with clinical remission, hs-CRP<5 mg/L and fecal calprotectin<250 microgram/gram and endoscopic remission [ Time Frame: At Week 12 ]Clinical remission will be scored using Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI). Endoscopic remission will be scored using Simplified Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease.
- Proportion of participants with clinical remission, hs-C Reactive Protein (CRP)<5 mg/L and fecal calprotectin <250 microgram/gram [ Time Frame: At Week 4 ]Clinical remission will be scored using Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI).
- Proportion of participants with hs-CRP<5 mg/L and fecal calprotectin <250 microgram/gram [ Time Frame: At Week 4 ]hs-CRP and fecal calprotectin levels are monitored.
- Proportion of participants with endoscopic remission [ Time Frame: At Week 12 ]Endoscopic remission will be scored using Simplified Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease.
- Proportion of participants who discontinued corticosteroid use and achieved clinical remission [ Time Frame: At Week 12 ]Clinical remission will be scored using Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI).
- Proportion of participants with clinical remission [ Time Frame: At Week 12 ]Clinical remission will be scored using Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI).
- Proportion of participants who achieve clinical remission and endoscopic response. [ Time Frame: At Week 12 ]Clinical remission will be scored using Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI). Endoscopic response will be scored using Simplified Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease
- Change in fecal calprotectin level [ Time Frame: From Week 0 to Week 4 ]Change in fecal calprotectin level from baseline is determined.
- Proportion of participants with sustained clinical remission [ Time Frame: Week 4 and Week 12 ]Clinical remission will be scored using Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI).
