Experimental: Andecaliximab 150 mg Every 2 Weeks
Double-Blind Phase: Participants will receive 1 single-use prefilled syringe (PFS) of andecaliximab 150 mg and matching placebo coadministered at Weeks 0, 2, 4, and 6 and 2 single-use PFS of placebo coadministered at Weeks 1, 3, 5, and 7.

- Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Response (PRO2 Score ≤ 8) at Week 8 of the Double-Blind Phase [ Time Frame: Week 8 ]Clinical response was defined as patient-reported outcomes (PRO2) score ≤ 8 at Week 8. PRO2 is the weighted average of the 2 variables of frequency of liquid or very soft stool and abdominal pain, based on 7-day participant diary data. The PRO2 score has a minimum score of 0 and has no upper bound, with a higher score indicating more frequent stools and more severe abdominal pain. Week 8 refers to the analysis window of Day 43 to Day 70 and prior to the first Open-Label dose date. Participants with a missing PRO2 value at the Week 8 analysis visit were imputed as not achieving the Clinical Response.
- Percentage of Participants Achieving Endoscopic Response (≥ 50% Reduction From Baseline SES-CD) at Week 8 of the Double-Blind Phase [ Time Frame: Week 8 ]Endoscopic response was defined as ≥ 50% reduction from baseline in Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) at Week 8. The SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables: ulcer size, ulcerated surface, affected surface, and presence of narrowings. The total SES-CD is calculated as the sum of the 4 variables for the 5 bowel segments: rectum, left colon, transverse colon, right colon, and ileum. Scores range from 0 to 60, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Week 8 refers to the analysis window of Day 43 to Day 70 and prior to the first Open-Label dose date. Participants with missing SES-CD value at Week 8 analysis visit were imputed as not achieving Endoscopic Response.
- Percentage of Participants Achieving CDAI Remission (CDAI ≤ 150) at Week 8 of the Double-Blind Phase [ Time Frame: Week 8 ]Clinical remission was defined as Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) ≤ 150 at Week 8. CDAI is used as a measure of clinical response and remission. It includes 8 variables of patient-reported symptoms and objective variables: stool count, abdominal pain, general well-being, complications, use of anti-diarrheal medications, presence of abdominal mass, hematocrit values, and weight. It has a minimum range of 0 and no upper bound, with higher scores indicating greater disease activity. Week 8 refers to the analysis window of Day 43 to Day 70 and prior to the first Open-Label dose date. Participants with missing CDAI score at Week 8 analysis visit were imputed as not achieving CDAI Remission.
- Percentage of Participants Achieving Mucosal Healing (SES-CD Size-of-Ulcer Subscore = 0) at Week 8 of the Double-Blind Phase [ Time Frame: Week 8 ]The SES-CD evaluates 4 endoscopic variables: ulcer size, ulcerated surface, affected surface, and presence of narrowings. The SES-CD size-of-ulcer subscore ranges from 0 (none) to 3 (very large). Mucosal healing at Week 8 was defined as the size-of-ulcer subscore for segments with non-zero baseline value changes to zero at Week 8 AND the size-of-ulcer subscore for segments with zero value at baseline remain zero at Week 8. Week 8 refers to the analysis window of Day 43 to Day 70 and prior to the first Open-Label dose date. Participants with missing SES-CD size-of-ulcer subscore at Week 8 analysis visit were imputed as not achieving Mucosal Healing.
