Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Subjects in Clinical Remission at Week 6 [ Time Frame: Week 6 ]
    The percentage of subjects in clinical remission at Week 6 (clinical remission is defined as a total Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of 150 points or less). CDAI is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's disease. A score of 150 points or below indicates clinical remission and a score above 450 points indicates extremely severe disease.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Subjects Achieving a Clinical Response at Week 6 [ Time Frame: Week 0, Week 6 ]
    The percentage of subjects achieving a clinical response at Week 6 (clinical response is defined as at least a 100-point decrease from the Week 0 Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score). CDAI is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's disease. A score of 150 or below indicates clinical remission and a score above 450 points indicates extremely severe disease.

  2. Percentage of Subjects in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) Remission at Week 6 [ Time Frame: Week 6 ]
    The percentage of subjects in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) remission at Week 6 (IBDQ remission is defined as a total IBDQ score of 170 points or more). The IBDQ Global Score is the sum of 32 responses, each ranging from 0 to 7, thus the Global Score ranges from 0 to 224; a higher score indicating a better quality of life.

  3. Change in Total Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Score From Week 0 to Week 6 [ Time Frame: Week 0 to Week 6 ]
    The change in total Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score from Week 0 to Week 6. CDAI is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's disease. A score of 150 points or below indicates clinical remission and a score above 450 points indicates extremely severe disease.

  4. Change in Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI) Score From Week 0 to Week 6 [ Time Frame: Week 0 to Week 6 ]
    The change in Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI) score from Week 0 to Week 6. HBI score consists of clinical parameters of general well-being (0 to 4), abdominal pain (0 to 3), number of liquid stools per day, abdominal mass (0 to 3), and complications (score 1 per item). The first three items are scored for the previous day. Lower scores indicated better well being.

  5. Percentage of Subjects in Clinical Remission at Week 2 [ Time Frame: Week 2 ]
    The percentage of subjects in clinical remission at Week 2 (clinical remission is defined as a total Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of 150 points or less). CDAI is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's disease. A score of 150 points or below indicates clinical remission and a score above 450 points indicates extremely severe disease.

  6. Percentage of Subjects in Clinical Remission at Week 4 [ Time Frame: Week 4 ]
    The percentage of subjects in clinical remission at Week 4 (clinical remission is defined as a total Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of 150 points or less). CDAI is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's disease. A score of 150 points or below indicates clinical remission and a score above 450 points indicates extremely severe disease.

  7. Percentage of Subjects Achieving a Clinical Response at Week 2 [ Time Frame: Week 0, Week 2 ]
    The percentage of subjects achieving a clinical response at Week 2 (clinical response is defined as at least a 100-point decrease from the Week 0 Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score). CDAI is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's disease. A score of 150 points or below indicates clinical remission and a score above 450 points indicates extremely severe disease.

  8. Percentage of Subjects Achieving a Clinical Response at Week 4 [ Time Frame: Week 0, Week 4 ]
    The percentage of subjects achieving a clinical response at Week 4 (clinical response is defined as at least a 100-point decrease from the Week 0 Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score). CDAI is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's disease. A score of 150 points or below indicates clinical remission and a score above 450 points indicates extremely severe disease.

  9. Change in Total Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Score From Week 0 to Week 2 [ Time Frame: Week 0 to Week 2 ]
