PRO-2 (Crohn’s disease-patient reported outcome-2 score) unable to be calculated in two trials due to presence of an ostomy.

Endoscopic endpoint data not yet available in four trials; three were consideredfailure of DBT due to surgery or entering a clinical trial - one was awaiting follow-up but achieved clinical response.
