3. Crohn's disease of at least 3 months duration, with colitis, ileitis, or ileocolitis, confirmed by radiography and/or endoscopy.
4. Those of childbearing potential were to use a barrier method (diaphragm or condom) of contraception and continue doing so for at least 3 months after last study medication. It was recommended that two forms be used.
5. Patients receiving medications for CD were to be on each medication for at least 8 weeks prior to screening and on stable doses of each for at least 2 weeks prior to screening, with the following exceptions:

* those on methotrexate had to be on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks and not be receiving more than 25 mg/wk
* those on azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine on a stable dose for at least 10 weeks
* those on steroids had to have been on steroids for at least 2 weeks and on a stable dose for those 2 weeks. They were not to be receiving more than 20 mg/day prednisone or equivalent
* those on mesalazine had to have been on for at least 6 weeks and on a stable dose for at least 2 weeks
* those on antibiotics for CD had to have been on for at least 2 weeks and on a stable dose for those 2 weeks
6. Any CD medication which had been discontinued was to have been discontinued at least 4 weeks prior to screening, with the exception of infliximab, which was to have been discontinued at least 8 weeks prior to screening.
7. The screening laboratory tests were to meet the following criteria:

Hgb \>= 8.5 g/dL (5.3 mmol/L) WBC 3.5-20 x 109/L Neutrophils \>= 1.5 x 109/L Platelets \>= 100 x 109/L ALT (SGPT) \<1.5 x the upper limit of normal range Alkaline phosphatase \<2.5 x the upper limit of normal range Bilirubin \<25 mmol/L (1.5 mg/dl) Creatinine \<110 mol/L (1.2 mg/dl)
8. Patients were to be able to adhere to the study visit schedule and/or protocol requirements.
9. Patients were to be able to give informed consent and the consent was to be obtained prior to any study specific screening procedures.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Treatment with any other experimental therapeutics within the last 4 weeks before enrolment.
2. History of tuberculosis, either clinically or as evidenced by a positive chest x-ray (exclusion criterion #8) or PPD.
3. Patients who had received anti-TNF therapy, such as infliximab, within 8 weeks of screening for this study. Patients who had received anti-TNF therapy \>8 weeks prior to screening were eligible.
4. Patients with any ostomy, extensive bowel resection (e.g., more than 100cm of small bowel, proctocolectomy or colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis). Segmental colectomy was permitted.
5. Patients immediately in need of surgery for active gastrointestinal bleeding, peritonitis, intestinal obstruction, or intra-abdominal or pancreatic abscess requiring surgical drainage.
6. Patients with known severe fixed symptomatic stenosis of the small or large intestine.
7. Evidence at the time of enrolment of bowel obstruction or history within the preceding six months as confirmed by radiography, endoscopy, or surgery.
8. Patients with a clinically significant abnormality or granulomata or any other evidence of primary tuberculosis infection on chest X-ray
9. Patients with current signs or symptoms of clinically significant hematologic, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiac, neurologic or cerebral disease.
10. Patients with previous diagnosis of, or known, malignancies.
11. Patients with serious infections, such as hepatitis, HIV, pneumonia or pyelonephritis, within 3 months prior to screening.
12. History of opportunistic infections such as herpes zoster within 2 months prior to screening, evidence of active CMV, active Pneumocystis carinii, drug resistant atypical mycobacterium.
13. Patients with stool examination positive for enteric pathogens, pathogenic ova or parasites, or Clostridium difficile toxin.
14. Women who were pregnant or breast-feeding.
15. A psychiatric, addictive, or any disorder that compromises ability to give truly informed consent for participation in this study.
16. Patients who had received CNI-1493 in the past.
