- those on antibiotics for CD were to have been on for at least 2 weeks and on a stable dose for those 2 weeks
- Patients who were not using other CD medications were to have stopped any previous use of these agents at least 4 weeks prior to baseline assessment for study CNI-1493-CD-05.
- Patients were required to sign informed consent specifically for this study, in addition to the consent for study CNI-1493-CD-04.
- Men and women of childbearing potential were to be using a barrier method (diaphragm or condom) of contraception and continue doing so for at least 3 months after last study medication. It was strongly recommended that two forms be used.
