MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Subjects Achieving Clinical RemissionWeek 156Clinical remission was defined as a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of \< 150. The CDAI is a weighted composite score of 8 clinical factors measured over a 1-week period. A lower CDAI score indicates lesser disease severity.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Subjects Achieving Clinical Response 100 (CR-100)Week 156A CR-100 is a decrease from baseline in CDAI score of 100 or more points. The CDAI is a weighted composite score of 8 clinical factors measured over a 1-week period. A lower CDAI score indicates lesser disease severity.
Percentage of Subjects Achieving Clinical Response 70 (CR-70)Week 156A CR-70 is a decrease from baseline in CDAI score of 70 or more points. The CDAI is a weighted composite score of 8 clinical factors measured over a 1-week period. A lower CDAI score indicates lesser disease severity.
Percentage of Subjects Achieving Steroid-free Clinical RemissionWeek 156Steroid-free remission was achieved if the subject stopped taking steroids before the visit and had a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of \<150. The CDAI is a weighted composite score of 8 clinical factors measured over a 1-week period. A lower CDAI score indicates lesser disease severity.
Percentage of Subjects Achieving Steroid-free CR-100Week 156Steroid-free CR-100 was achieved if the subject stopped taking steroids before the visit and had a decrease from baseline in CDAI score of 100 or more points at that visit. The CDAI is a weighted composite score of 8 clinical factors measured over a 1-week period. A lower CDAI score indicates lesser disease severity.
