Percentage of Participants Achieving a Clinical Response (CR) on at Least one Extra-intestinal Manifestation/Immune-mediated Inflammatory Disease (EIM/IMID) Associated with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) at Week 24
CR will be determined based on the measures collected by the investigators which will be assessed by the specialists based on these parameters: 2 points reduction in physician global assessment (PGA) score or PGA 0 or 1 (0= clear to 5=very severe) achieved for cutaneous disease, or resolution of lesions for Erythema nodosum (dermatology); decrease of 50 percent (%) of ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI) (1=no problem to 10=worst problem) for axial spondyloarthritis (SpA); disease activity score (DAS)28 (derived from 4 items with score \<2.6 \[disease remission\] and \>5.1 \[severe disease activity\]) of moderate and good response achieved in peripheral SpA plus 2 points reduction in PGA score or PGA 0 or 1 achieved in case of associated psoriasis; resolution of dactylitis, decrease of 50% of Leeds enthesitis index \[LEI-6\] score which ranges from 0 \[pain/tenderness absent\] to1 \[pain/tenderness present\] for enthesitis, (rheumatology); resolution of uveitis (ophthalmology).
Time frame: Week 24
Percentage of Participants with Change from Baseline in Clinical Response for Crohn's Disease (CD) as Measured by Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI)
HBI is defined as total HBI score of 4 points or less. HBI score consists of clinical parameters of general well-being (0 to 4), abdominal pain (0 to 3), number of liquid stools per day, abdominal mass (0 to 3), and complications (8 items, score 1 per item) lower scores indicating better well-being.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 16 and Week 24
Percentage of Participants Achieving Remission for CD as Measured by HBI
Percentage of participants achieving remission for CD will be measured using the HBI Score less than or equal to (\<= 4). HBI remission is defined as total HBI score of 4 points or less. HBI score consists of clinical parameters of general well-being (0 to 4), abdominal pain (0 to 3), number of liquid stools per day, abdominal mass (0 to 3), and complications (8 items, score 1 per item) lower scores indicating better well-being.

Time frame: Up to Week 24
Change from Baseline in Partial Mayo Score
Mayo scoring system is used for assessment of ulcerative colitis activity. The Mayo score consists of 4 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, physician's global assessment, and endoscopy findings) each ranging from 0 to 3. Partial Mayo score is calculated as the sum of 3 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, and physician's global assessment) and ranges from 0 to 9 points. Higher score indicates severe disease. Change from baseline in the Partial Mayo Score of at least 3 points and at least 30 percent, with an accompanying decrease in the subscore for rectal bleeding of at least 1 point or an absolute subscore for rectal bleeding of 0 or 1 will be reported.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 16 and Week 24
Percentage of Participants Achieving Remission for UC as Measured by Partial Mayo Score (Score of <=2)
Percentage of participants achieving remission for UC will be measured using the Partial Mayo score Score less than or equal to \<=2). Partial Mayo score is calculated as the sum of 3 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, and physician's global assessment) and ranges from 0 to 9 points. Higher score indicates severe disease.
Time frame: Up to Week 24
Change from Baseline in the Presence of Extra Intestinal Manifestations (EIMS) or Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases (IMIDs)
Change from baseline in the presence of Extra Intestinal Manifestations (EIMs)/ Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases (IMIDs) for its severity/activity will be determined.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 24
Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) Questionnaire
The WPAI is a validated, self-administered questionnaire that assesses work and activity impairment during the past 7 days due to IBD. The WPAI score ranges from 0 to10. Score 0 means IBD had no effect on work and score 10 indicates because of IBD, could not work at all.
Time frame: Baseline, Weeks 16 and Week 24
Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire Score (Short IBDQ)
Short IBDQ is a health-related quality of life tool (HRQoL) to assess quality of life in adult participants with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) having only 10 items with 4 domains: digestive symptoms (3 items), systemic symptoms (2 items), emotional disturbance (3 items), and social function (2 items). Participants are asked to recall symptoms and quality of life from the last 2 weeks and rate each item on a 7-point Likert scale (1=all of the time; 2=most of the time; 3=a good bit of the time; 4=some of the time; 5=a little bit of the time; 6=hardly any of the time; 7=none of the time). Total score is calculated by adding the scores from each domain; the total score ranges from 10 to 70, where minimum score =10 (poor HRQoL) and maximum score =70 (good HRQoL).
Time frame: Baseline, Weeks 16 and 24
Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Scale (FACIT)
FACIT-F scale is a 13 item fatigue scale with a 7 day recall period. It measures the level of fatigue during the usual daily activities. The level of fatigue is measured on a 4 point Likert scale (0=very much fatigued to 4=not at all fatigued). Total FACIT score is the sum of 13 items, ranging from 0 (not at all) to 52 (very much). Higher scores represent better outcomes.
Time frame: Baseline, Weeks 16 and 24
Inflammatory Bowel Disease-Disability Index (IBD-DI)
The IBD-DI consists of 28 items that evaluate the 5 domains of overall health, body function, body structures, activity participation and environmental factors. Each item response is graded from 0 to 4 for each area evaluated (0 = very good; 1 = Good; 2 = medium; 3 = Bad; 4 = Very bad). The final composite score representative of the overall degree of disability ranging from -80 (maximum degree of disability) to 22 (no disability).
Time frame: Baseline, Weeks 16 and 24

Number of IBD related emergency visits as a part of medical resources utilization will be reported.
