Why This Matters

This registered Phase 2/3 program is evaluating guselkumab (an IL‑23 inhibitor) for moderate–severe Crohn's disease and could expand treatment options if trials show benefit and safety. The studies include clinical and endoscopic outcomes and a long‑term extension.

Who Should Pay Attention

Adults with moderate–severe Crohn's disease, clinicians treating IBD, researchers focused on biologic therapies/IL‑23, and patients considering trial participation or new biologic options.

What To Know

This ClinicalTrials.gov record describes three linked studies: a 48‑week Phase 2 dose‑ranging trial (GALAXI 1) to choose induction and maintenance dosing, and two 48‑week Phase 3 confirmatory trials (GALAXI 2 and GALAXI 3). Participants who complete the parent studies may be eligible for a long‑term extension (LTE).

Efficacy, pharmacokinetics, biomarkers, and safety are being assessed, with both clinical and endoscopic outcomes (including CDAI and SES‑CD) specified. The Phase 2 arms include multiple IV and SC guselkumab dosing regimens and an active ustekinumab comparator arm; there is also a placebo arm with provision for switching nonresponders to ustekinumab.

Primary outcomes include change in CDAI at Week 12 (Phase 2) and combined clinical response/remission endpoints in Phase 3.
