- A reduction from baseline by 25% and/or > 100 points in the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) scores at both Week 4 (Day 29) and at Week 6 (Day 43). [ Time Frame: Week 4 (Day 29) and Week 6 (Day 43) ]Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI) responders are subjects achieving either clinical response (a reduction in CDAI score of ≥100 points from Week 0), or remission (CDAI ≤150). CDAI is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's disease. A score of 150 or below indicates remission and a score above 450 indicates extremely severe disease.
- The induction of a clinical remission defined as a Crohn's Disease Activity Index score of < 150 points at both Week 4 (Day 29) and Week 6 (Day 43) [ Time Frame: Week 4 (Day 29) and Week 6 (Day 43) ]Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI) is used to quantify the symptoms of subjects with Crohn's disease. A score of 150 or below indicates remission and a score above 450 indicates extremely severe disease.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Males and females ages 18-75 years
- Understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent
- Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements
- Minimum weight of 50 kg
- A female of childbearing potential (FCBP)† must have a negative urine pregnancy test at screening (Visit 1) and immediately prior to all doses of IP. In addition, sexually active FCBP must agree to use two of the adequate forms of contraception methods for the duration of the study and the follow-up period. A FCBP must agree to have pregnancy tests at least every 4 weeks during the study. Males (including those who have had a vasectomy) must agree to use barrier contraception (latex condoms) when engaging in reproductive sexual activity with FCBP for the duration of the study and the follow-up period.
- Subject must have inflammatory CD 6 months prior to treatment and have confirmation of ongoing disease activity by colonoscopy or (other method) at screening
- Subject must have a CDAI score > 220 and < 450 as assessed between Visit 1 and Visit 2
- The Subject must have failed, i.e., had an inadequate response or lost response (recurrence of symptoms) to an agent, or documented intolerance to an agent at any time
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any significant medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from participating in the study
- Any condition including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study
A female of childbearing potential is a sexually mature woman who:
- has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy
- has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months).
