Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Clinical Remission

Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12

Clinical Remission is defined as a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of ≤150 when evaluated at Week 12

Frequency and Severity of Adverse Events Through Week 12

Time Frame: Baseline through Week 12 Visit

All subjects who received at least one apheresis treatment session were included in the intent-to-treat population (ITT). The ITT population was used for effectiveness analysis.

Secondary Outcomes

  • CDAI Score Change From Baseline(Baseline to Week 12)
  • Clinical Response(Baseline to Week 12)

  • Mean Change in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Questionnaire (IBDQ)(Baseline to Week 12)
  • Mean Change in EuroQol Score (Single Index)(Baseline to Week 12)
  • Mean Change in EuroQol Score (Visual Analog Scale)(Baseline to Week 12)
  • Mean Change in Work Limitations Questionnaire (Time Management)(Baseline to Week 12)
  • Mean Change in Work Limitations Questionnaire (Physical Demands)(Baseline to Week 12)
  • Mean Change in Work Limitations Questionnaire (Mental-Interpersonal Demands)(Baseline to Week 12)
  • Mean Change in Work Limitations Questionnaire (Output Demands)(Baseline to Week 12)
  • Mean Change in Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ Index)(Baseline to Week 12)
  • Mean Change in Crohn's Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity(Baseline to Week 12)
