Significant, active, uncontrolled, untreated systemic diseases 12. Have unstable Crohn’s disease (CD) expected it to worsen over the course of the study and that required initiation of treatment with biological therapy within 6 months prior to Screening Note: Subjects treated with stable (unchanged dosage) of immunosuppressant therapy and biological therapy are eligible for enrollment in the study. 13.

Neutrophils < 1.5 × 103/µL d. Hemoglobin levels < 8 g/dL 21. Persistent hepatic impairment defined by 2 of the following laboratory tests meeting the criteria below. Repeat tests done within 2 weeks apart must confirm the results. e. Total bilirubin ≥2 × the upper limit of normal (ULN), or f. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≥5 × ULN, or g. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≥5× ULN 22. Have any use of GLP-1, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, growth hormone, glutamine, or analogs thereof within 3 months prior to Screening 23. Subject deemed by the Principal Investigator to be inappropriate for participation in the study (e.g., any condition or circumstance which, in the Investigator's opinion, would put the subject at any undue risk, prevent completion of the study, or interfere with analysis of the study results)
