Crohn's disease is a chronic, progressive and potentially life-threatening disorder which may affect any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Guselkumab is a fully human immunoglobulin G1 lambda monoclonal antibody that binds to human interleukin (IL)-23, thereby blocking the binding of extracellular IL-23 to the cell surface IL-23 receptor. This binding results in inhibition of IL-23 mediated intracellular signaling, activation and cytokine production. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of guselkumab in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. The overall study duration is up to 109 weeks.
