Efficacy and safety of a combination therapy of Guselkumab and Golimumab in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease
Résumé de l'étude
The study aims to determine whether the combination of Guselkumab and Golimumab is safe and effective in treating patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. The treatment with three different doses of the combination therapy is compared to treatment with Guselkumab or Golimumab alone (i.e., not in combination). This study includes 3 different phases: Screening phase (up to 8 weeks), treatment phase (48 weeks), and optional long-term extension phase (up to 192 weeks). Study participants will be randomly assigned to one of a total of 6 study groups and will receive the corresponding treatment from week 0 to week 20 (description of groups see "Investigated Intervention"). Some patients will receive placebo along with an active drug so that the number of injections in all treatment groups is the same. Neither the patients themselves nor the investigator knows which investigational product the patient receives. This procedure is called blinding. Depending on the response up to the visit in week 24, the investigator will decide whether to continue the current treatment or start a combination therapy with medium or high dose. Participation in the long-term extension phase depends on whether symptoms have improved during the first year of treatment.

Intervention étudiée
The total study duration is up to 256 weeks, of which 48 weeks of combination therapy with Guselkumab/Golimumab (currently referred to as JNJ-78934804) will be evaluated.
The study consists of the following phases:
• Screening phase: up to 8 weeks
• Main treatment phase: 48 weeks (last dose 4 weeks before the end of the main treatment phase)
• Optional long-term extension phase: 192 weeks (last dose 4 weeks before the end of the long-term extension phase)
• Safety follow-up phase: up to 12 weeks after the last dose of the study treatment
At the visit in week 0, eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a ratio of 1:2:2:2:2:2 to one of the following groups (randomized) and will receive a subcutaneous injection every 4 weeks:
• Group 1: receives a substance without active ingredient (placebo)
• Group 2: receives an active treatment with Guselkumab alone (monotherapy)
• Group 3: receives an active treatment with Golimumab alone (monotherapy)
• Group 4: receives an active treatment with a high dose of JNJ-78934804
• Group 5: receives an active treatment with a medium dose of JNJ-78934804
• Group 6: receives an active treatment with a low dose of JNJ-78934804
Participants who have not adequately responded to treatment by week 24 will begin a combination therapy based on their initial assignment:
• Participants in group 1 (placebo group), group 2 (Guselkumab monotherapy group), group 3 (Golimumab monotherapy group), and group 6 (low dose JNJ-78934804 group) will receive an induction and maintenance therapy with a medium dose of JNJ-78934804
• Participants in groups 4 (high dose JNJ-78934804 group) and 5 (medium dose JNJ-78934804 group) will receive an induction and maintenance therapy with a high dose of JNJ-78934804.
Participants who discontinue the study treatment before week 48 will attend an early discontinuation visit (Early Discontinuation, ED) before the end of their study participation. All randomized and treated participants must attend the safety follow-up visit 12 weeks after the last dose of the study treatment.
All participants who have achieved a clinical response at week 48 compared to week 0 and who, in the opinion of the investigator, continue to benefit from the study treatment may enter a 4-year long-term extension phase (Long-Term Extension, LTE).

(BASEC)
- Age 18 to 65 years inclusive (at the time of consent) - Crohn's disease (CD) or fistulizing CD for at least 3 months (defined as at least 12 weeks) with intestinal inflammation (colitis), inflammation in the ileum (ileitis), or inflammation at the junction of the colon and small intestine (ileocolitis), confirmed at any time in the past by imaging (radiographic), by tissue sample (histological), and/or by endoscopy (endoscopic) - Clinically active CD, defined as a baseline CDAI score (Crohn's Disease Activity Index, scoring system for clinical assessment of the severity of CD) ≥ 220, but ≤ 450, and either: a. average daily stool frequency ≥ 4 OR b. average daily AP score ≥ 2 (average daily abdominal pain) - Endoscopically proven active ileal (in the ileum) and/or colonic (in the colon) CD, assessed by central endoscopic findings during the screening endoscopy, defined as SES-CD (Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease) ≥ 6 at screening (for participants with colonic or ileocolonic disease) or ≥ 4 (for participants with isolated ileal disease) - No initial response (i.e., primary non-responder), initial response that was lost during treatment (i.e., secondary non-responder) or intolerance to one or more ADT (advanced therapies = novel therapies) at a dose approved for the treatment of CD (i.e., Infliximab, Adalimumab, Certolizumab pegol, Vedolizumab, Ustekinumab or approved corresponding biosimilars) - The laboratory results of the screening are within the ranges specified in the study protocol (BASEC)
Critères d'exclusion
- Complications of CD, such as symptomatic strictures or stenoses (obstructions), short bowel syndrome, or other manifestations that may require surgical intervention, excluding or complicating the assessment of treatment efficacy - Diverting (i.e., functioning) stoma or stoma (artificial anus) - Known allergies, hypersensitivities, or intolerances to Guselkumab, Golimumab, Guselkumab/Golimumab combination (JNJ-78934804) or any of the excipients - In the opinion of the investigator, inadequate response to Guselkumab or Golimumab if these have previously been used as non-approved therapy for CD - Pregnancy or breastfeeding - Chronic or recurrent infectious diseases in the history or ongoing - Active or untreated latent tuberculosis in the history - Malignant diseases or malignant diseases in the history within 5 years prior to screening (BASEC)
