E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

Global:
1. To evaluate the efficacy of ustekinumab dosing in inducing clinical remission in pediatric participants with moderately to severely active UC.
2. To evaluate the safety profile of ustekinumab in pediatric participants with moderately to severely active UC.
3. To evaluate ustekinumab exposure (PK).

US specific:
4. To evaluate the efficacy of ustekinumab dosing in maintaining clinical remission among participants who were in clinical response in induction.
5. To evaluate the safety profile of ustekinumab.
6. To evaluate ustekinumab exposure (pharmacokinetics [PK]).

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

1. To evaluate the efficacy of IV ustekinumab during the induction period.
2. To evaluate the efficacy of SC ustekinumab during the maintenance period among participants who were in clinical response in induction.

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

An optional Exposure Optimization Substudy, as described in Appendix 19 of the Protocol, for induction nonresponders who have a low steadystate, 8 weeks post-dose ustekinumab concentration, and for induction responders and delayed responders who lose response during maintenance and have a low steady-state, 8 weeks postdose ustekinumab concentration.
Primary Objective:
- To determine if a q4w dose regimen in participants who have induction nonresponse or LOR and low 8-week steady-state ustekinumab trough concentrations during maintenance will result in steady-state ustekinumab trough exposures ≥1.4 μg/mL
- To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of ustekinumab
administered q4w in participants who have induction nonresponse or LOR and low ustekinumab exposure

E.3

Principal inclusion criteria

Each potential participant must satisfy all of the following criteria to be enrolled in the study:
- Have Crohn's disease or fistulizing Crohn's disease with active colitis, ileitis, or ileocolitis, confirmed at any time in the past by endoscopy and histology
- Must have moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (as defined by a baseline Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index [PCDAI] score greater than [>] 30); have ileocolonoscopy with evidence of active Crohn's disease defined as presence of ulceration (which is equal to Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's disease [SES-CD) score greater than or equals to [>=] 3) during screening into this study. The ileocolonoscopy procedure must occur within approximately 3 weeks prior to the administration of study intervention at Week 0 (Induction
Period). A video ileocolonoscopy recorded within 3 months prior to the Week 0 (Induction Period) visit may be used in case of rescreening of a participant who had an ileocolonoscopy but failed the initial screening for another reason, on a case-by-case basis, after consultation with the sponsor. If unable to evaluate ulceration due to stricture or inadequate bowel preparation, at least one of the following criteria may instead be applied: an abnormal C-reactive protein (CRP) (> 0.3 milligram per deciliter [mg/dl] or 3.0 milligram per liter [mg/L) at screening) or; fecal calprotectin of >= 250 milligram per kilogram [mg/kg) or >= 250 microgram per gram [mcg/g) at screening

- If receiving enteral nutrition, must have been on a stable regimen for at least 2 weeks prior to induction week 0 (Week I-0)
- Females of childbearing potential must have a negative highly sensitive urine pregnancy test at screening and at Week 1-0 prior to study intervention administration

Please refer to protocol for all the inclusion criteria.

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

Any potential participant who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participating in the study:

- Has complications of Crohn's disease such as symptomatic strictures or stenosis, short gut syndrome, or any other manifestation that might be anticipated to require surgery, that could preclude the use of the PCDAI to assess response to therapy or would possibly confound the ability to assess the effect of treatment with ustekinumab

- Have a history of latent or active granulomatous infection,
histoplasmosis, or coccidioidomycosis, or have had a nontuberculous mycobacterial infection prior to screening

- Presence or history of any malignancy including presence or history of lymphoproliferative disease including lymphoma, or signs and symptoms suggestive of possible lymphoproliferative disease, such as lymphadenopathy of unusual size or location (example, nodes in the posterior triangle of the neck, infraclavicular, epitrochlear, or periaortic areas), and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, or
clinically significant hepatomegaly or splenomegaly

- Have a history of moderate or severe progressive or uncontrolled liver or renal insufficiency; or significant cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurologic, hematologic, psychiatric (including suicidality), or metabolic disturbances

- Received an investigational intervention including any investigational vaccines or used an invasive investigational medical device within 3 months before the planned first dose of study intervention or is currently enrolled in an investigational study; receipt of an investigational vaccine
for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is not an automatic exclusion criterion

Please refer to protocol for all the exclusion criteria.
