E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

Phase 2:
- To evaluate the clinical efficacy of guselkumab in participants with
Crohn's disease
- To evaluate the safety of guselkumab
Phase 3:
- To evaluate the clinical and endoscopic efficacy of guselkumab in
participants with Crohn's disease
- To evaluate the safety of guselkumab

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

Phase 2:
- To evaluate the dose-response of guselkumab to inform dose selection for the Phase 3 portion of this protocol
- To evaluate the efficacy of guselkumab on endoscopic improvement
- To evaluate the PK, immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of guselkumab therapy
Phase 3:
- To evaluate the impact of guselkumab on HRQOL
- To evaluate the PK, immunogenicity, and PD of guselkumab therapy

E.2.3

Trial contains a sub-study

Yes

E.2.3.1

Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives

Phase 2 and Phase 3 study:
- Optional Week 4 ileocolonoscopy sub-study: Exploratory analyses of intestinal mucosal tissue obtained by biopsy at Week 4 will be performed to delineate the mechanisms of action of guselkumab and ustekinumab.

- Optional pharmacogenomic sub-study: Collect DNA to allow for the identification of genetic factors that may influence the PK, PD, efficacy, safety, or tolerability of guselkumab and to identify genetic factors associated with Crohn’s disease or the response to guselkumab or ustekinumab treatment.

Phase 2 (GALAXI 1) LTE study:
- Real-life patient-handling sub-study: open-label substudy, whose
purpose is to assess the ability of participants or their caregivers to
perform guselkumab administration with either the 2.0 mL PFS-U or 2.0
mL PFS-Y in the standard of care setting (eg, at home or in the clinic),
and to assess the reliability of each drug-device. When the Phase 2 study
is unblinded, only those participants who are still in the Phase 2 LTE on
the appropriate guselkumab dose will participate in this substudy.

- Have moderate to severe CD as assessed by CDAI, stool frequency (SF), and abdominal pain (AP) scores, and Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD)
- Have screening laboratory test results within the protocol specified parameters
- A female participant of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test result at screening and baseline
- Demonstrated intolerance or inadequate response to conventional or to biologic therapy for CD

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

- Current diagnosis of ulcerative colitis or indeterminate colitis
- Has complications of Crohn’s disease, such as symptomatic strictures or stenoses, short gut syndrome, or any other manifestation
- Unstable doses of concomitant Crohn's disease therapy
- Receipt of Crohn’s disease approved biologic agents, investigational agents, or procedures outside of permitted timeframe as specified in the protocol
- Prior exposure to p40 inhibitors or p19 inhibitors
- Any medical contraindications preventing study participation

Phase 3 co-primary endpoints:
- Clinical remission at week 12 (defined as CDAI score <150)
- Endoscopic response at week 12

E.5.1.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

week 12

E.5.2

Secondary end point(s)

Phase 2:
- Clinical remission at Week 12 (defined as CDAI score <150)
- Clinical response at Week 12 (defined as ≥100-point reduction from baseline in CDAI score or CDAI score <150)
- PRO-2 remission at Week 12 (defined based on average daily stool frequency (SF) and average daily abdominal pain (AP) score)
- Clinical-biomarker response at Week 12 (clinical response based on CDAI score and reduction from baseline in CRP or fecal calprotectin)
- Endoscopic response at Week 12 (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.)

Phase 3:
- Clinical remission at Week 48 (defined as CDAI < 150)
- Endoscopic response at Week 48
- Durable clinical remission at Week 48 (defined as CDAI<150 for the majority of visits between Week 12 and Week 48.)
- Corticosteroid-free clinical remission at Week 48 (defined as CDAI score <150 at Week 48 and not receiving corticosteroids at Week 48)
- PRO-2 remission at Week 12 and 48 (based on average daily stool frequency (SF) and average daily abdominal pain (AP) score)
- Endoscopic response at Week 12 and 48 (measured by the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD))
• Fatigue response at Week 12 (based on the PROMIS Fatigue Short Form 7a)
