Study Summary

The main aim is to see if TAK-018 reduces the recurrence of intestinal inflammation after abdominal resection surgery in adults with Crohn's disease. Participants will take either TAK-018 or placebo tablets by mouth, 2 times each day for up to 26 weeks after surgery. The placebo looks like TAK-018 but will not have any medicine in it. Participants will have 6 study visits while receiving treatment. Visits 1 and 6 will be conducted at the study clinic. The others can be in the clinic or at the participant's home. Follow-up will occur 4 weeks after final treatment.

Primary Outcome

Endoscopic recurrence (ER) is defined as a Rutgeerts' score ≥ i2. The Rutgeerts scoring is a 5-point scale used to assess endoscopic recurrence at the ileocolonic anastomosis and preanastomotic ileum. The total score ranges from i0 to i4; where i0 = no lesions, i1= ≤ 5 aphthous ulcers, i2= \> 5 aphthous ulcers with normal mucosa between lesions or lesions are confined to the anastomosis, i3= diffuse aphthous ileitis with diffusely inflamed mucosa and i4= diffuse inflammation with larger ulcers,
