Number of Participants With Degree of Improvement of Endoscopic Findings Up to Week 156 The number of participants with improvement in endoscopic findings is assessed.
Global Assessment of Gastrointestinal Symptoms Up to Week 156 Study participants completed a global assessment of their gastrointestinal symptoms on a 5-grade scale.
