Brief summary: A 26 week maintenance study of CDP870 in Crohn's disease


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Definitive diagnosis of Crohn's disease confirmed (at least 3 months prior to study entry) either by radiological, endoscopic or histological evidence, affecting the terminal ileum (L1), colon (L2) or ileocolon (L3)\*. \* Vienna Classification (1998)
* Active Crohn's disease (≥ 220 and ≤ 450) scored over the 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
* Patients aged 18 years or above at screening.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Crohn's Disease Related
* Fistula abscess present at screening.
* Stricturing type disease with symptoms or signs of non-inflammatory mechanical obstruction or bowel perforation in last 3 months.
* Short bowel syndrome.
* Functional colostomy or ileostomy (note: patients who have had a temporary stoma in the past, which has been reversed, are eligible to enter the study).
* Positive stool laboratory results for enteric pathogens.

Primary outcomes:
measure: Clinical response at Week 26, in the strata defined by CRP ≥ 10 mg/L.
Secondary outcomes:
measure: In population with CRP ≥ 10 mg/L at baseline; Time to disease progression up to and including Week 26; Proportion of patients with clinical remission at Week 26; Proportion of patients with IBDQ response at Week 26; F-36 sub-scores and change from basel
