A Study of Guselkumab Therapy in Participants With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis

Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Ulcerative colitis, unspecified,
Registration Number
CTRI/2023/05/052724
Lead Sponsor
Johnson and Johnson Private Limited
Brief Summary

Despite the availability of advanced therapies, many patients either inadequately respond (ie, primary nonresponse) or lose their initial response (ie, secondary nonresponse) to treatment. Guselkumab is a fully human immunoglobulin G1 lambda monoclonal antibody that binds to the p19 protein subunit of human IL-23 with high specificity and affinity. In addition, SC administration has become an attractive alternative to more invasive, expensive, and time-consuming intravenous infusions. Considering the benefit from  anti-IL-23 therapy and SC induction dosing, the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and PK/PD profile of Guselkumab SC induction compared to placebo in participants with moderately to severely active UC.
