Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of filgotinib, when compared to placebo, in establishing clinical remission defined as Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI) < 150, at Week 24 in participants with small bowel Crohn's disease (CD). Participants will have the option to enter a separate long-term extension study if they meet eligibility requirements.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Remission at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]
    The CDAI score is used to quantify the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease (CD). The score ranges from 0 to 600. Clinical remission by CDAI was defined as a score of < 150. A higher score indicates more severe disease.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in Terminal Ileum Segmental Magnetic Resonance Index of Activity (MaRIA) Score at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline; Week 24 ]
    Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) is an imaging technique to evaluate disease activity in CD. MaRIA is an MRE-based scoring system. The MaRIA scoring system is a composite index of 4 components. These components are edema, ulcers, gut wall thickness, and relative contrast enhancement (RCE). A segmental MaRIA score can be calculated at screening (used as the baseline) and Week 24 as a weighted sum of these components for the terminal ileum segment of the small bowel. A segmental score of ≥ 7 indicates active inflammation and a score of ≥ 11 indicates the presence of an ulcer. Segmental scores less than 7 indicate remission. The MaRIA score ranges from approximately 0 to 31, for any given segment. A higher score indicates more severe disease. Difference in least squared means (Diff in LSM) were from analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement and a positive change from baseline indicates disease worsening.

  2. Change From Baseline in Distal Ileum Segmental MaRIA Score at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline; Week 24 ]
    MRE is an imaging technique to evaluate disease activity in CD. MaRIA is an MRE-based scoring system. The MaRIA scoring system is a composite index of 4 components. These components are edema, ulcers, gut wall thickness, and RCE. A segmental MaRIA score can be calculated at Screening (used as the baseline) and Week 24 as a weighted sum of these 4 components for the distal ileum segment of the small bowel. A segmental score of ≥ 7 indicates active inflammation and a score of ≥ 11 indicates the presence of an ulcer. Segmental scores less than 7 indicate remission in that segment. The MaRIA score ranges from approximately 0 to 31, for any given segment. A higher score indicates more severe disease. Diff in LSM were from ANCOVA model. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement and a positive change from baseline indicates disease worsening.

  3. Change From Baseline in Jejunum Segmental MaRIA Score at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline; Week 24 ]

A segmental score of ≥ 7 indicates active inflammation and a score of ≥ 11 indicates the presence of an ulcer. Segmental scores less than 7 indicate remission in that segment. The MaRIA score ranges from approximately 0 to 31, for any given segment. A higher score indicates more severe disease. Diff in LSM were from ANCOVA model.
