Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission Based on the CDAI at Week 12
Clinical remission is defined as a CDAI score of ≤150 points. CDAI assesses CD based on clinical signs such as number of liquid or very soft stools, abdominal pain, general wellbeing, extra-intestinal manifestations of CD, antidiarrheal use, presence of abdominal mass, hematocrit and body weight. CDAI consists of eight factors, each summed after adjustment with a weighting factor. Total score ranges from 0 to 600 points. Higher scores indicate more severity.
Percentage of Participants Achieving 2-item Patient-reported Outcome Measure (PRO2) Remission at Weeks 12, 26, and 52
Clinical remission based on PRO2 is defined as PRO2 score ≤8 from baseline. The PRO2 is comprised of the stool frequency and abdominal pain components of the CDAI. The PRO-2 score is the sum of the abdominal pain and stool frequency subscores of the CDAI score. The average daily number of liquid or very soft stools and abdominal pain score (with 0 indicating no pain and 3 indicating severe pain) are weighted according to the CDAI multiplication factors (2 for stool frequency and 5 for abdominal pain). A higher score indicates more frequent stools and more severe abdominal pain.
Change in PRO2 Score from Week 26 to 52
The PRO2 is comprised of the stool frequency and abdominal pain components of the CDAI. The PRO-2 score is the sum of the abdominal pain and stool frequency subscores of the CDAI score. The average daily number of liquid or very soft stools and abdominal pain score (with 0 indicating no pain and 3 indicating severe pain) are weighted according to the CDAI multiplication factors (2 for stool frequency and 5 for abdominal pain). A higher score indicates more frequent stools and more severe abdominal pain.
Percentage of Participants with Stool Frequency Remission at Weeks 12, 26, and 52
Stool frequency remission is defined as average daily number of liquid or very soft stools ≤3 and not worse than baseline assessed as per the stool frequency subscore of the CDAI score. The average daily number is weighted according to the CDAI multiplication factor of 2 for stool frequency. A higher score indicates more frequent stools.
Percentage of Participants with Abdominal Pain Remission at Weeks 12, 26, and 52
Abdominal pain remission is defined as abdominal pain score ≤1, and not worse than baseline assessed as per the abdominal pain subscore of the CDAI score. The abdominal pain score (with 0 indicating no pain and 3 indicating severe pain) is weighted according to the CDAI multiplication factor of 5. A higher score indicates more severe abdominal pain.
Percentage of Participants Achieving Endoscopic Remission Based on Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) at Weeks 26 and 52
Endoscopic remission as per SES-CD is defined as SES-CD score from 0-2. SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size, percentage of surface area (SA) that is ulcerated, percentage of SA affected, and presence and type of narrowings in 5 colonic segments evaluated during ileocolonoscopy. Each variable is coded from 0 to 3 based on severity, where 0 is none or not severe and 3 is most severe case, with sum of scores for each variable ranging from 0 to 15, except for presence of narrowing. Presence of narrowing ranges from 0 to 11 since a severity of 3 represents a narrowing which a colonoscope cannot be passed and, thus, can only be observed once among the bowel segments. The overall SES-CD score ranges from 0 to 56 and is sum of 4 variables across 5 bowel segments. Higher scores indicate more severe disease. Percentage of participants achieving endoscopic remission based on SES-CD at either Week 26 or Week 52 will be reported in this outcome measure.
