Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Percentage of Participants who Achieve Combined Fistula Remission at Week 24:Week 24:Percentage of participants who achieve combined fistula remission at Week 24 will be reported. Combined fistula remission is defined as 100 percentage (%) closure of all treated external openings without development of new fistulas or abscesses and without any drainage by the external openings [occurring spontaneously or after gentle finger compression] and absence of collections greater than (>) 2 centimeters (cm) of the perianal fistulas in at least two of three dimensions, confirmed by a blinded central review of the magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] results.
