  Description
Abatacept (ABA) 30/~10 mg/kg, Induction Period (IP) During IP, abatacept administered intravenously (IV) on Days IP-1 and IP-15 at a dose of 30 mg/kg (fixed dose). On Days IP-29 and IP-57, abatacept was administered IV at a dose of ~10 mg/kg (10 mg/kg group).
ABA ~10 mg/kg, IP During IP, abatacept administered IV on Days IP-1, IP-15, IP-29, and IP-57 at a dose of ~10 mg/kg (weight-tiered).
ABA 3 mg/kg, IP During IP, abatacept administered IV on Days IP-1, IP-15, IP-29, and IP-57 at a dose of 3 mg/kg (fixed dose).
Placebo, IP During the IP, placebo was administered IV on Days IP-1, IP-15, IP-29, and IP-57.
ABA ~10 mg/kg, Maintenance Period (MP) During MP, abatacept administered IV at a dose of ~10 mg/kg (weight-tiered dosing) every 28 days starting Day MP-1.
Placebo, MP During MP, placebo was administered IV at 28-day intervals starting on Day MP-1.
ABA ~10 mg/kg, Open-Label Period (OL) During OL, abatacept administered IV at a dose of ~10 mg/kg (weight-tiered dosing) every 28 days starting Day OL-1.

[1] Prior to this study, participants had an inadequate response and/or intolerance to an approved anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agent at an approved labeled dose for at least 8 weeks.
[2] Clinical diagnosis of CD with active disease confirmed by endoscopic, histologic, or radiographic evidence using established diagnostic criteria.
[3] CDAI is a composite index consisting of a weighted scoring of 8 disease variables: number of liquid stools, extent of abdominal pain, general well-being, occurrence of extraintestinal symptoms, need for antidiarrheal drugs, presence of abdominal masses, hematocrit, and body weight. CDAI scores range from 0 to ~600 points. Clinical response=CDAI reduction ≥100 points or absolute CDAI <150 points. Clinical remission=CDAI <150 points. Moderate to severe disease=CDAI ≥220 and ≤450 points.
[4] IBDQ was used to measure disease specific quality of life. The IBDQ consists of a self-administered 32-item questionnaire that evaluates quality of life across 4 dimensional scores: Bowel, Systemic, Social and Emotional. The response to each question can range from 1 to 7, with 1 indicating severe problem and 7 indicating normal health. The total IBDQ is computed as the sum of the responses to the individual IBDQ questions. The total score can range between 32 to 224 with higher scores indicating a better quality of life.

Measure Description CDAI is a composite index consisting of a weighted scoring of 8 disease variables:number of liquid stools, extent of abdominal pain, general well-being, occurrence of extraintestinal symptoms, need for antidiarrheal drugs, presence of abdominal masses, hematocrit, and body weight. CDAI score was based partly on entries (7 days before evaluation) from participant’s Diary kept while on study. CDAI scores range from 0 to ~600 points. Clinical response=CDAI reduction ≥100 points or absolute CDAI <150 points. Clinical remission=CDAI <150 points. Moderate to severe disease=CDAI ≥220 and ≤450 points.

Population Description
Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
Due to the early termination of the study after the IP results were reviewed and the primary efficacy endpoint was not achieved, the secondary endpoint analysis for the cohort of participants with clinical remission at both Day MP-169 and Day MP-365 was not conducted for the MP as planned.
