TNFα (tumour necrosis factor) antibody treatment)
• Patients should not suffer from any other health problems that may
jeopardize their participation in the study.
Additional details and inclusion criteria are available in the clinical study
protocol.

• Current or recent (within 30 days of enrollment, or 5 half-lives of the
compound, whichever is longer) use of anti-TNFα antibody treatment
• Active Crohn's disease
• Recent or pending abdominal or ano-rectal surgery, particularly
presence of stricture, or abscess, or retention for which surgery might be indicated
