Brief Summary:
The purpose of this program is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of guselkumab in participants with Crohn's disease.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Crohn's Disease Drug: Guselkumab Dose 1 Drug: Guselkumab Dose 2 Drug: Guselkumab Dose 3 Drug: Guselkumab Dose 4 Drug: Guselkumab Dose 5 Drug: Guselkumab Drug: Ustekinumab Drug: Placebo Phase 2 Phase 3

Detailed Description:
This program consists of 3 separate studies: a 48-week Phase 2 dose-ranging study (GALAXI 1) and two 48-week Phase 3 confirmatory studies (GALAXI 2 and GALAXI 3). In Phase 2, safety and efficacy of guselkumab dose regimens will be evaluated to support the selection of induction and maintenance dose regimens for confirmatory evaluation in Phase 3. Participants who complete the 48-week Phase 2 or Phase 3 studies may be eligible to enter the long term extension (LTE). Throughout the 3 studies, efficacy, pharmacokinetic, biomarkers, and safety will be assessed.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Phase 2: Change from Baseline in the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Score at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12 ]
    The CDAI score will be assessed by collecting information on 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables, with scores ranging from 0 to approximately 600. A decrease over time indicates improvement in disease activity.

  2. Phase 3: Clinical Remission at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]
    Clinical remission is defined as CDAI score less than (<) 150 points.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Phase 2: Clinical Remission at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]
    Clinical remission is defined as CDAI score <150.

  2. Phase 2: Clinical Response at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]
    Clinical response is defined as greater than or equal to (>=) 100-point reduction from baseline in CDAI score or CDAI score <150.

  3. Phase 2 and Phase 3: Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO)-2 Remission at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]
    PRO-2 remission is defined based on average daily stool frequency (SF) and average daily abdominal pain (AP) score.

  4. Phase 2: Clinical-Biomarker Response at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]
    Clinical-biomarker response is defined using clinical response based on the CDAI score and reduction from baseline in C-reactive protein (CRP) or fecal calprotectin.

  5. Phase 2 and Phase 3: Endoscopic Response at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]
    Endoscopic Response is measured by the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD). The SES-CD is based on the evaluation of 4 endoscopic components across 5 ileocolonic segments, with a total score ranging from 0 to 56.

  6. Phase 3: Clinical Remission at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]
    Clinical remission is defined as CDAI score <150.

  7. Phase 3: Durable Clinical Remission at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]
    Durable clinical remission is defined as CDAI<150 for most of all visits between Week 12 and Week 48.

  8. Phase 3: Corticosteroid-Free Clinical Remission at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]
    Corticosteroid-free clinical remission is defined as CDAI score <150 at Week 48 and not receiving corticosteroids at Week 48.

  9. Phase 3: PRO-2 Remission at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]
    PRO-2 remission is defined based on average daily stool frequency (SF) and average daily abdominal pain (AP) score.

  10. Phase 3: Fatigue Response at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]
    Fatigue response will be based on the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS). Fatigue Short Form 7a contains 7 items that evaluate the severity of fatigue, with higher scores indicating greater fatigue.

  11. Phase 3: Endoscopic Response at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]
    Endoscopic response is measured by the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD).
