结局指标
主要结局
Percentage of Subjects in Clinical Remission at Week 62
时间窗: Week 62
Clinical remission is defined as a Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index (PCDAI) score ≤ 10. The Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index (PCDAI) consists of 4 domains (laboratory, height/weight, examination, and history) with several assessments that are converted into a PCDAI score which can range from 0 to 100 points, with a higher score indicating more severe disease activity.
