Reproduction-related inclusion criteria
Contraceptive (birth control) use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the acceptable methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
Typical use failure rates may differ from those when used consistently and correctly. Use should be consistent with local regulations regarding the use of contraceptive methods for subjects in clinical studies.
9.Before first administration of study drug, a woman must be
a. Not of childbearing potential
b. Of childbearing potential and practicing a highly effective method of contraception (failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and correctly) and agrees to remain on a highly effective method method while receiving study treatment and until 12 weeks after last dose - the end of relevant systemic exposure. Examples of highly effective methods of contraception are located in section 9.4.
10.A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative urine preg-nancy test at screening and agree to urine pregnancy testing before re-ceiving injections and at safety follow-up.
11.A woman must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the pur-poses of assisted reproduction during the study and for a period of 12 weeks after receiving the last administration of guselkumab.

13.A male subject must agree not to donate sperm for the purpose of reproduction during the study and for a minimum 12 weeks after receiving the last dose of study treatment.

c.Have had no recent close contact with a person with active TB or, if there has been such contact, will be referred to a physician specializing in TB
to undergo additional evaluation and, if warranted, receive appropriate treatment for latent TB before the first administration of study drug.
d.Within 2 months before the first administration of study drug, have a negative QuantiFERON®-TB Gold test result, or have a newly identified positive QuantiFERON-TB Gold test result in which active TB has been ruled out a
