Number of Participants With Accessory Symptoms of Behcet's DiseaseUp to Week 156

The presence or absence of symptoms including arthritis without deformity or stiffness, epididymitis, vascular lesions and moderate to severe central nervous system (CNS) lesions was assessed at weeks 52, 104 and 156 against presence or absence at baseline.

Number of Participants With Degree of Improvement of Endoscopic FindingsUp to Week 156

The number of participants with improvement in endoscopic findings is assessed.

Global Assessment of Gastrointestinal SymptomsUp to Week 156
