Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Males and females aged >=18 and = =220 and =<450
  • A diagnosis of Crohn's Disease (CD) confirmed by ileocolonoscopy during Screening
  • Presence of mucosal ulcers in at least one segment of the ileum or colon and a SES-CD score ≥7 (for patients with isolated ileal disease SES-CD score ≥4), as assessed by ileocolonoscopy and confirmed by central independent reviewer(s) before randomization
  • Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) patients or patients previously treated with infliximab who had initially responded and who meet one of the following criteria:
  • Responded and developed secondary resistance due confirmed anti-infliximab anti-drug antibody formation, which caused infliximab depletion
  • Responded and became intolerant
  • Further inclusion criteria apply

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with ulcerative colitis or indeterminate colitis
  • Patients with symptomatic known obstructive strictures
  • Surgical bowel resection performed within 6 months prior to Screening or planned resection at any time while enrolled in the trial
  • Patients with an ostomy or ileoanal pouch
  • Patients with short bowel syndrome
