- Remission at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]Reduction of the total Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score to less than 150. Lower CDAI scores indicate a better outcome.
- Response at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]Reduction of Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score by a minimum of 100 points. Lower CDAI scores indicate a better outcome.
- Remission at Week 52 [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]Reduction of the total Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score to less than 150. Lower CDAI scores indicate a better outcome.
- Durable Remission Week 26 Through Week 52 [ Time Frame: Week 26 through week 52 ]When a subject is in remission with a maximum CDAI score of 149 at every visit from Week 26 through and including Week 52
- Remission at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Week 16 ]Reduction of the total Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score to less than 150. Lower CDAI scores indicate a better outcome.
- Steroid Free Remission at Week 52 [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]Subjects who are maintained off steroids for a minimum of 3 weeks
- Duration of Remission [ Time Frame: Baseline through week 52 ]Number of weeks that a subject is in a state of remission. Subjects who experienced remission and continued to be in remission at the time of their last CDAI assessment are censored at the date of their last CDAI assessment.
- Duration of Response [ Time Frame: Baseline through week 52 ]Number of weeks a subject is in a state of response. Subjects who experienced response and continued to be in response at the time of their last CDAI assessment are censored at the date of their last CDAI assessment.
- Time to Remission [ Time Frame: Baseline through week 52 ][Date of first observed remission (CDAI score < 150) - Date of first dose or date of randomization if not dosed + 1] / 7 Days. Subjects who never experienced remission during the study are censored at the date of their last CDAI assessment.
- Time to Response [ Time Frame: Baseline through week 52 ][Date of first observed response (a reduction from baseline of ≥ 100 in CDAI score) - Date of first dose or date of randomization if not dosed + 1] / 7 Days. Subjects who never experienced response during the study are censored at the date of their last CDAI assessment.
- Durable Remission Week 16 Through Week 52 [ Time Frame: Week 16 through week 52 ]Remission in a subject from week 16 through week 52.
- Response at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Week 16 ]Reduction of Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score by a minimum of 100 points. Lower CDAI scores indicate a better outcome.
- Cardiac Safety [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]Change-from-baseline to week 26 in QTcF (based on cardiac safety report)
- Cardiac Safety [ Time Frame: Baseline through week 52 ]Placebo-corrected change-from-baseline to week 52 in QTcF (based on cardiac safety report)
