There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

Part 1 (OLE)

  • Patients who were previously enrolled in Study GA29144 and experienced any of the following:
    • Disease worsening in the Induction Phase of Study GA29144, defined as a CDAI score at Week 10 or later in the Induction Phase being greater than the patient’s baseline (Week 0) score;
    • Not eligible for the Maintenance Phase in Study GA29144;
    • Completed the Week 14 visit in Study GA29144 and could not subsequently enter the Maintenance Phase, because the sample size for the Maintenance Phase has been achieved;
    • A clinical relapse during the Maintenance Phase of Study GA29144, defined as two consecutive CDAI scores during the Maintenance Phase (may include unscheduled visits) that are  the baseline (Week 0) score and/or ≥ 100 points higher than the Week 14 score, with at least one of the two scores being ≥ 220 points.
      • CDAI score ≥ the baseline (Week 0) score
      • CDAI score ≥ 100 points higher than the Week 14 score
    • Completed the Maintenance Phase including the Week 66 or Week 74 clinic visit in Study GA29144.
    • Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent and comply with the requirements of the OLE-SM protocol.

  • Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent and comply with the requirements of Part 2 (SM) of the OLE-SM protocol.
  • All patients must have completed the 12-week safety follow-up in either GA29144 or GA29145, Part 1 (OLE), as applicable, prior to entering Part 2 (SM).

Exclusion Criteria:
