Subjects must satisfy the following criteria to be enrolled in the study: 1.

Subject must provide written informed consent prior to any studyrelated procedures and have the ability to comply with the Table of Events. 4. Subject is in clinical response (a reduction from baseline in CDAI of ≥100 points or CDAI score of < 150 points) and/or in clinical remission based on an average daily stool frequency score ≤ 3 with abdominal pain and stool frequency no worse than baseline and an average abdominal pain score ≤ 1 and/or CDAI score of < 150 points at Week 12 of the Induction Study. 5. Female subjects of childbearing potential: Must agree to practice a highly effective method of contraception throughout the study until completion of the 75-day Safety Follow-Up Visit. Highly effective methods of contraception are those that alone or in combination result in a failure rate of a Pearl Index of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. Acceptable methods of birth control in the study are the following: combined hormonal (containing oestrogen and progestogen) contraception, which may be oral, intravaginal, or transdermal progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, which may be oral, injectable, or implantable placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) placement of an intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) bilateral tubal occlusion vasectomised partner sexual abstinence Male subjects: Must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with women of childbearing potential while participating in the study until completion of the 75-day safety follow-up visit. All subjects: Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods), withdrawal (coitus interruptus), spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhoea method are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female condom and male condom should not be used together. |
