Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Change From Baseline in CDEIS (Crohn's Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity) Score at Week 10 Using Local Non-blinded Assessments
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 10
The CDEIS (Crohn's Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity) score provides a measure of mucosal inflammation. Generally, scores range from 0-30. A higher score indicates more severe mucosal inflammation, thus a negative change from Baseline (i.e., Week 10 score minus Baseline score) indicates improvement.
Baseline, Week 10
Mean Change From Baseline in CDEIS (Crohn's Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity) Score at Week 10 Using Central Blinded Assessments
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 10
The CDEIS (Crohn's Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity) score provides a measure of mucosal inflammation. Generally, scores range from 0-30. A higher score indicates more severe mucosal inflammation, thus a negative change from Baseline (i.e., Week 10 score minus Baseline score) indicates improvement.
