The dose of antibiotics must have been stable for at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment.

Subject must have adequate renal function as defined by a calculated creatinine clearance of greater than 30 ml/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation, and a serum creatinine concentration of less than 2.0 mg/dl. Subject must be available for all specified assessments at the study site through day 30. Subject must provide a written informed consent form (ICF) and authorization for use of and disclosure of personal health information (PHI). Exclusion Criteria: Subject has any alcohol or substance abuse within 6 months of randomization. Subject has evidence of fibrostenotic obstructive Crohn's disease.

Subject has had bowel surgery other than perianal (for example, fistulotomy, seton placement, or abscess drainage) within 6 months prior to enrollment. Subject has received infliximab; adalimumab; or other antibody, protein, or biological therapy not specifically approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Crohn's disease for 90 days (d) prior to enrollment in study. Subject has received prednisone greater than 20 mg/d at any time 28 d prior to enrollment in study. Subject has a permanent colostomy or ileostomy. Subject has aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), or alanine transaminase (ALT) more than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal at screening. Subject has evidence of active malignancy other than resected basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or prior history of active malignancy that has not been in remission for at least 5 years. Subject has history of bacteremia or other serious bacterial or fungal infection in past 3 months other than a treated urinary tract infection or drained perianal abscess. Subject has received an investigational agent (IA)-an agent or device not approved by FDA for marketed use in any indication-within 90 d (or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer) of randomization. Subject has cardiopulmonary disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator, is either unstable or severe enough to justify exclusion from this study. Subject has any underlying or current medical or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make participation in the study unsafe.
