Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Part I: Change From Baseline in the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Score at Week 8

    The CDAI is a validated multi-item measure of severity of illness derived as a weighted sum of 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables. The CDAI score was assessed by collecting information on 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables: extra-intestinal manifestations, abdominal mass, weight, hematocrit, total number of liquid stools, abdominal pain/cramping, use of antidiarrheal drug(s), and/or opiates, and general well-being. The last 4 variables were scored over 7 days by the participant on a diary card. In general, CDAI score ranges from 0 to approximately 600; higher score indicates higher disease activities.

    Baseline to Week 8

  • Part II: Change From Baseline in the CDAI Score at Week 12

    The CDAI is a validated multi-item measure of severity of illness derived as a weighted sum of 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables. The CDAI was assessed by collecting information on 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables: extra-intestinal manifestations, abdominal mass, weight, hematocrit, total number of liquid stools, abdominal pain/cramping, use of antidiarrheal drug(s) and/or opiates, and general well-being. The last 4 variables are scored over 7 days by the participant on a diary card. In general, CDAI score ranges from 0 to approximately 600; higher score indicates higher disease activities.

Study Arms (7)

Part I : Placebo

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive placebo Subcutaneously (SC) at Weeks 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. From Week 12 Placebo-treated participants who are in clinical response at Week 12 (\>=100-point reduction from baseline in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) or CDAI \<150) will continue to receive placebo SC injections every 2 weeks from Week 12 through Week 22. Placebo -treated participants who are not in clinical response at Week 12 will receive JNJ-64304500 400 mg SC at Week 12 and then JNJ-64304500 200 mg every two weeks from Week 14 through Week 22.

Drug: JNJ-64304500Drug: Placebo

Part I : JNJ-64304500

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive JNJ-64304500 400 milligram (mg) SC at Week 0 then 200 mg SC every two weeks through Week 22.

Drug: JNJ-64304500

Part II : Placebo

EXPERIMENTAL

Placebo SC at Weeks 0, 2, 4, and 8. From Week 12, placebo-treated participants who are in clinical response at Week 12 (\>=100-point reduction from baseline in CDAI or CDAI \<150) will continue to receive placebo at Weeks 12, 14, 16, and 20. Placebo -treated participants who are not in clinical response at Week 12 will receive JNJ-64304500 150 mg SC at Week 12 and then JNJ-64304500 75 mg at Weeks 14, 16, and 20. Participants who complete Part II 24 weeks assessment and may benefit from continued treatment in the opinion of the investigator are eligible to enter the Part II LTE in which they will continue to receive placebo up to 52 weeks (for a total of up to 72 weeks of placebo in Part II). The study has been unblinded due to lack of sufficient efficacy of JNJ- 64304500. Participants receiving placebo during the LTE will stop receiving placebo.

Drug: JNJ-64304500Drug: Placebo

Part II : JNJ-64304500 High Dose

EXPERIMENTAL

JNJ-64304500 400 mg SC at Week 0 and 200 mg SC at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20. Participants who complete Part II 24 weeks assessment and may benefit from continued treatment in the opinion of the investigator are eligible to enter the Part II LTE in which they will continue to receive JNJ-64304500 high dose up to 52 weeks (for a total of up to 72 weeks of JNJ-64304500 in Part II). The study has been unblinded due to lack of sufficient efficacy of JNJ-64304500. Participants receiving JNJ-64304500 during the LTE will stop receiving study drug and will have a final safety follow-up visit 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

Drug: JNJ-64304500

Part II : JNJ-64304500 Middle Dose

EXPERIMENTAL

JNJ-64304500 150 mg SC at Week 0 and 75 mg SC at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20. Participants who complete Part II 24 weeks assessment and may benefit from continued treatment in the opinion of the investigator are eligible to enter the Part II LTE in which they will continue to receive JNJ-64304500 middle dose up to 52 weeks (for a total of up to 72 weeks of JNJ-64304500 in Part II). The study has been unblinded due to lack of sufficient efficacy of JNJ-64304500. Participants receiving JNJ-64304500 during the LTE will stop receiving study drug and will have a final safety follow-up visit 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

Drug: JNJ-64304500

Part II : JNJ-64304500 Low Dose

EXPERIMENTAL

JNJ-64304500 50 mg SC at Week 0 and 25 mg SC at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20. Participants who complete Part II 24 weeks assessment and may benefit from continued treatment in the opinion of the investigator are eligible to enter the Part II LTE in which they will continue to receive JNJ-64304500 low dose up to 52 weeks (for a total of up to 72 weeks of JNJ-64304500 in Part II). The study has been unblinded due to lack of sufficient efficacy of JNJ-64304500. Participants receiving JNJ-64304500 during the LTE will stop receiving study drug and will have a final safety follow-up visit 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

Drug: JNJ-64304500

Part II : Ustekinumab

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive tiered doses of Ustekinumab 260 mg (weight \<=55 kg), Ustekinumab 390 mg (weight \>55 kg and \<=85 kg), Ustekinumab 520 mg (weight \>85 kg) intravenously at Week 0 followed by 90 mg subcutaneously at Weeks 8 and 16. Participants who complete Part II 24 weeks assessment and may benefit from continued treatment in the opinion of the investigator are eligible to enter the Part II LTE in which they will continue to receive Ustekinumab up to 52 weeks (for a total of up to 72 weeks of Ustekinumab in Part II). The study has been unblinded due to lack of sufficient efficacy of JNJ-64304500. Participants receiving Ustekinumab during the LTE will stop receiving study drug and will have a final safety follow-up visit after the last dose of study drug. However, participants receiving Ustekinumab in countries where Ustekinumab is not commercially available or approved for adult Crohn's disease were continued to receive Ustekinumab in the LTE.
