Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of filgotinib as compared to placebo in establishing combined fistula response at Week 24. Participants will have the option to enter a separate Long-Term Extension (LTE) study (GS-US-419-3896; NCT02914600) if they meet eligibility requirements.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Combined Fistula Response at Week 24
Combined fistula response at Week 24 was defined as reduction of greater than or equal to (≥) 1 from baseline in the number of draining external perianal fistula openings that were present at baseline, and absence of fluid collections \> 1 centimeter (cm) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pelvis at Week 24, among participants with at least 1 draining external perianal fistula opening at baseline.
Week 24
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Combined Fistula Remission at Week 24
Week 24
Time to Clinical Fistula Response up to Week 24
Time from treatment start to first visit when ≥ 1 of the draining external perianal fistula openings that were present at baseline achieved perianal fistula closure up to Week 24
Time to Clinical Fistula Remission up to Week 24
Time from treatment start to first visit when perianal fistula closure takes place of all external openings that were draining at baseline up to Week 24
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Proctitis Remission at Week 24
