Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - History of inadequate response (ie, primary non response) to agents from = 2 classes of biologics marketed for the treatment of CD (ie, TNFa antagonists, interleukin 12/ 23 antagonist, and integrin receptor antagonist). - Have ulcerative colitis, indeterminate colitis, microscopic colitis, ischemic colitis, radiation colitis, diverticular disease associated colitis, toxic megacolon, or active infectious colitis or test positive for Clostridium difficile toxin at Screening. - Have functional or post operative short bowel syndrome or any associated complications that may require surgery or interfere with efficacy assessments - Had surgical treatment for intra abdominal abscesses = 8 weeks prior to randomization or surgical treatment for perianal abscesses = 4 weeks prior to randomization. - Had intestinal resection = 24 weeks prior to randomization or other intra abdominal surgeries = 12 weeks prior to randomization. - Have an ileostomy or a colostomy. - Have a serious infection requiring IV antibiotics/medication(s) = 4 weeks prior to randomization. - Have primary or secondary immunodeficiency syndromes, opportunistic infection, or infection with HIV, HBV, HCV or tuberculosis (active or latent):. - Have a clinically relevant cardiovascular condition or receiving treatments that may effect cardiovascular function - Have active retinopathy or macular oedema. - Have forced expiratory volume at 1 second or forced vital capacity < 70% of predicted values at Screening. - Lactating female who is breastfeeding. - Any acute illnesses or medical conditions including cognitive impairment and alcohol/drug abuse/dependence, or signs/symptoms suspicious for a serious disease that, in the Investigator's opinion, could put the subject at increased risk for safety event(s) or interfere with protocol-specified procedures or adherence with study treatment.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: •To evaluate the dose-response relationship of 2 doses of etrasimod versus placebo as induction therapy in subjects with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease (CD). To select an oral etrasimod dose, based on efficacy and safety, for continued development. ;Secondary Objective: •To evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of etrasimod in subjects with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease (CD).;Primary end point(s): Proportion of subjects who achieve endoscopic response at Week 14 ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 14

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Proportion of subjects who achieve clinical remission APSF at Week 14 • Proportion of subjects who achieve CDAI < 150 by visit up to Week 14 • Proportion of subjects who achieve clinical response CDAI by visit up to Week 14 • Proportion of subjects who achieve clinical response APSF by visit up to Week 14 • Proportion of subjects who achieve clinical response CDAI-70 by visit up to Week 14 • Proportion of subjects who achieve clinical response APSF-30 by visit up to Week 14 • Change from baseline in CDAI score by visit up to Week 14 • Change from baseline in SES-CD at Week 14 • Proportion of subjects with clinical response by PRO2 at Week 14 • Proportion of subjects with endoscopic response and clinical remission by PRO2 at Week 14 • Change and percentage change from baseline in absolute lymphocyte count by visit up to Week 14 • Change and percentage change from baseline in FCP concentration at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 10, and 14 • Change and percentage change from baseline in CRP concentration at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 10, and 14 • Proportion of subjects who achieve endoscopic remission at Week 14 Extension Period: endpoints for the induction period will be assessed at scheduled visits up to Week 66. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: by visit up to week 66
