This 26-week extension study evaluates the efficacy and safety of certolizumab pegol administered subcutaneously every 4 weeks (dosed at Weeks 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32) in subjects with active Crohn's disease who had no clinical response at Week 6 to induction therapy in the 6-week double-blind main study, C87037 (NCT00291668), but subsequently showed clinical response at Week 14 to repeated induction therapy (dosed at Weeks 8, 10 and 12) in this extension study.
This study is an open-label extension study which follows on from the 6-week double-blind main study C87037 (NCT00291668). All 'Week' numbers quoted are relative to the start of the double-blind main study. The first visit in this extension study is at Week 8, and the final efficacy assessment in this extension study, 26 weeks later, is at Week 34.
