| Study type | Interventional |
| Intervention(s) | 1. Experimental: Induction Study 1: Icotrokinra Dose 1 Participants will receive Icotrokinra dose 1 in Induction Study 1 up to Week 12.Subsequent treatment will be determined by the participant's response status at Week 12. Drug: Icotrokinra Icotrokinra will be administered orally, daily. Other names: JNJ-77242113 2. Experimental: Induction Study 1: Icotrokinra Dose 2 Participants will receive Icotrokinra dose 2 in Induction Study 1 up to Week 12. Subsequent treatment will be determined by the participant's response status at Week 12. Drug: Icotrokinra Icotrokinra will be administered orally, daily. Other names: JNJ-77242113 3. Placebo Comparator: Induction Study 1: Placebo Participants will receive matching placebo in Induction Study 1 up to Week 12. Subsequent treatment will be determined by the participant's response status at Week 12. Drug: Placebo Matching placebo will be administered orally, daily. 4. Experimental: Induction Study 2: Icotrokinra Participants will receive Icotrokinra at the dose regimen determined in Induction Study 1 up to Week 12. Subsequent study treatment will be determined by the participant's response status at Week 12. Drug: Icotrokinra Icotrokinra will be administered orally, daily. Other names: JNJ-77242113 5. Placebo Comparator: Induction Study 2: Placebo Participants will receive matching placebo for up to Week 12. Subsequent study treatment will be determined by the participant's response status at Week 12. Drug: Placebo Matching placebo will be administered orally, daily. 6. Experimental: Maintenance Study: Icotrokinra Dose 1 Participants who were receiving icotrokinra in either induction studies 1 or 2 and were in response at Week 12 of the induction study will be randomized to receive icotrokinra maintenance dose 1. Participants receiving Icotrokinra Dose 1 and meeting criteria for loss of response during the Maintenance Study will be eligible for a single blinded dose adjustment to Icotrokinra Dose 2. After completion of the Maintenance Study through Week 40, eligible participants can participate in long term extension (LTE). Drug: Icotrokinra Icotrokinra will be administered orally, daily. Other names: JNJ-77242113 7. Experimental: Maintenance Study: Icotrokinra Dose 2 Participants who were receiving icotrokinra in either induction studies 1 or 2 and were in response at Week 12 of the induction study will be randomized to receive icotrokinra maintenance dose 2. Participants who were non-responders at Week 12 of the induction studies will also receive icotrokinra maintenance dose 2 but will not be randomized. After completion of the Maintenance Study through Week 40, eligible participants can participate in LTE. Drug: Icotrokinra Icotrokinra will be administered orally, daily. Other names: JNJ-77242113 8. Placebo Comparator: Maintenance Study: Placebo Participants who were receiving icotrokinra in either induction studies 1 or 2 and were in response at Week 12 will be randomized to receive placebo. Participants receiving placebo in induction studies 1 or 2 and in response at Week 12 of the induction study will continue to receive placebo during maintenance on non-randomized basis. Placebo non-responders from induction study will receive icotrokinra maintenance dose 2 on a non-randomized basis and will be assessed for response at Week 12. Participants receiving placebo and meeting criteria for loss of response during the Maintenance Study will be eligible for a single blinded dose adjustment to icotrokinra dose 2. After completion of the Maintenance Study through Week 40, eligible participants can participate in LTE. Drug: Placebo Matching placebo will be administered orally, daily. |
Outcome(s)
| Primary Outcome | 1. Induction Study 1: Number of Participants with Clinical Response at Week 12 Clinical response is defined as a greater than or equal to (>=) 100-point reduction from baseline in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score. CDAI scores range from 0 to approximately 600. Higher score indicates higher disease activity. [Time Frame: At Week 12] 2. Induction Study 2: Number of Participants with Clinical Remission at Week 12 (Co-Primary Endpoint) Clinical remission is defined as CDAI score less than (<) 150. CDAI scores range from 0 to approximately 600. Higher score indicates higher disease activity. [Time Frame: At Week 12] 3. Induction Study 2: Number of Participants with Endoscopic Response at Week 12 (Co-Primary Endpoint) Endoscopic response is defined as greater than (>) 50% improvement from baseline in Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) score or a decrease of at least 2 points in participants with a baseline score of 4 and isolated ileal disease. SES-CD score can range from 0 to 56. Higher scores indicating more severe disease. [Time Frame: At Week 12] 4. Maintenance Study: Number of Participants with Clinical Remission at Week 40 (Co-Primary Endpoint) Clinical remission is defined as CDAI score < 150. CDAI scores range from 0 to approximately 600. Higher score indicates higher disease activity. [Time Frame: At Week 40] 5. Maintenance Study: Number of Participants with Endoscopic Response at Week 40 (Co-Primary Endpoint) Endoscopic response is defined as > 50% improvement from baseline in SES-CD score or a decrease of at least 2 points in participants with a baseline score of 4 and isolated ileal disease. SES-CD score can range from 0 to 56. Higher scores indicating more severe disease. [Time Frame: At Week 40] |
