• Non-smoker or use of nicotine or other nicotine-containing products (snuff, chewing tobacco, cigars, pipes, e-cigarettes or nicotine-replacement products such as nicotine chewing gum and nicotine plasters) will not be allowed from 3 months before the screening visit until the final follow-up visit.
• Participant's current regimen of concomitant medication(s) falls within the definitions provided in the protocol.
• Participant must weigh ≥50 kg at the time of signing informed consent.
• Male or female
• Sexually active male participant must agree to use highly effective contraception as detailed in of this protocol during the treatment period and for at least 10 weeks after the last dose of study medication (or longer if required by local approved label).
• A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
• i) Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP). ii) A WOCBP who agrees to follow the guidance for highly effective contraception during the treatment period and for at least 10 weeks after the last dose of study medication (or longer if required by local approved label).

You may not qualify if:

• Participant has symptomatic coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) or a positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) test result prior to screening.
• Participant has a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (UC), indeterminate colitis, ischemic colitis, radiation colitis, diverticular disease associated with colitis, or microscopic colitis.
• Participant with any known fistula involving the gastrointestinal (GI) tract (except for perianal fistula).
• Participant with symptomatic stricturing type disease at the time of the screening visit.
• Participant has had an extensive colonic resection, subtotal or total colectomy, diagnosis of short bowel syndrome or a history of \>3 small bowel resections.
• Participant has a functional colostomy or ileostomy. Exception: A participant who has had a temporary stoma in the past, which has been reversed, may be enrolled.
• Participant has had a surgical bowel resection within 6 months before the screening visit or is planning any resection at a time while enrolled in the study.
• Participant with clinical suspicion of intra-abdominal abscess(es). If a participant receives treatment for the abscess, they may be rescreened.
• Participant currently requires or is anticipated to require surgical intervention for CD during the study.
• Participant has a current or recent history (within 6 months before the screening visit) of clinically relevant renal, hepatic, hematological, GI (other than CD), endocrine, pulmonary, neurological, or cerebral disease including blood dyscrasia (for example, pancytopenia, aplastic anemia), demyelinating disease (for example, multiple sclerosis, myelitis, optic neuritis), or ischemic heart disease.
