Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Has luminal Crohn's disease (CD) of at least 3 months duration (defined as a minimum of 12 weeks), with colitis, ileitis, or ileocolitis, confirmed at any time in the past by radiography, histology, and/or endoscopy
Has clinically active CD, defined as a baseline CD activity index (CDAI) score greater than or equal to (>=)220 but <=450 and either: a. Mean daily stool frequency (SF) count >=4, based on the unweighted CDAI component of the number of liquid or very soft stools or b. Mean daily AP score >=2, based on the unweighted CDAI component of abdominal pain (AP)

Summary

This trial aims to see if guselkumab can help heal all layers of the digestive tract by using a score called Magnetic Resonance Index of Activity (MaRIA) in a scan

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Crohn's disease of at least 3 months, showing active symptoms and poor response or intolerance to certain therapies. Participants must have a specific level of disease activity measured by stool frequency or abdominal pain and confirmed transmural activity in the digestive tract.
What is being tested?
The study tests Guselkumab's ability to heal all layers of the digestive tract in Crohn's patients. Effectiveness will be measured using a special MRI-based score (MaRIA) at Week 48 to assess transmural healing.
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, Guselkumab may cause side effects similar to other medications used for Crohn’s Disease such as infections, allergic reactions, injection site reactions, headache, fatigue, and gastrointestinal symptoms.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: GuselkumabExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will receive guselkumab 200 milligram (mg) intravenously (IV) at week 0, 4 and 8. Afterwards, participants will be alternately assigned at study level to 2 dose cohorts, high dose (200 mg subcutaneous (SC) every 4 weeks (Q4W) starting at week 12) through week 92 or low dose (100 mg SC every 8 weeks (Q8W) starting at week 16) through week 88. Starting at Week 24, participants in the low-dose cohort will be permitted to escalate to the 200 mg SC Q4W regimen if they are symptomatic and at the discretion of the investigator.
