Placebo Comparator
Vedolizumab
Placebo
In the Induction Phase participants received vedolizumab 300 mg, administered by intravenous infusion at Week 0 and Week 2 (Days 1 and 15). In the Maintenance Phase, participants who demonstrated a clinical response at Week 6 according to protocol-specified criteria were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to double-blind treatment with vedolizumab administered every 4 weeks, vedolizumab administered every 8 weeks, or placebo for up to Week 50. Participants who did not demonstrate response at Week 6 of the Induction Phase continued treatment with vedolizumab, administered every 4 weeks during the Maintenance Phase.
In the Induction Phase participants received placebo intravenous infusion at Week 0 and Week 2 (Days 1 and 15). Participants continued to receive placebo during the Maintenance Phase, regardless of treatment response during Induction.
