and either:
a. Mean daily SF count ≥4, based on the unweighted CDAI component of the number
of liquid or very soft stools
OR
b. Mean daily AP score ≥2, based on the unweighted CDAI component of AP
4. Active transmural activity in at least one segment (segmental MaRIA ≥ 11)
5. a. Has demonstrated inadequate response/intolerance to conventional therapy

OR
b. Has previously demonstrated lack of initial response (ie, primary non‐responders),
responded initially but then lost response with continued therapy (ie, secondary
non-responders), or was intolerant to a maximum of 1 class of advanced therapies at a
dose approved for the treatment of Crohn's disease (ie, JAK inhibitors, infliximab,
adalimumab, certolizumab pegol, vedolizumab, ustekinumab, or approved biosimilars
for these agents). To note, the proportion of participants that have failed to IL12-23
(eg, ustekinumab) will be limited to around 20% of this advanced therapy non-
responders/intolerant group included in the study (see Section 4.1). Please refer to
Appendix 4: Definition of Inadequate Initial Response, Loss of Response, or
Intolerance to TNF Antagonist Therapies (Infliximab, Adalimumab, or Certolizumab
Pegol), Vedolizumab, or Ustekinumab for details. Inadequate response to JAK
inhibitors is based on the clinical judgment of the investigator.
17
6. Adheres to the following requirements for concomitant medication for the treatment of
Crohn's disease. The following medications are permitted if doses meeting the
requirements listed below are stable or have been discontinued prior to baseline and
within the timeframes specified below:
a. Oral corticosteroids at a prednisone‐equivalent dose at or below 20 mg/day, or
6 mg/day of budesonide, or 5 mg/day beclomethasone dipropionate, and on stable
dosing for at least 2 weeks or if recently discontinued, must have been stopped for at
least 2 weeks.
b. If the participant was on 5-ASA therapy at baseline, they must have been on a stable
dose for at least 2 weeks, or if recently discontinued, they must have stopped at least 2
weeks before baseline. Participants may continue the 5-ASA treatment if ongoing at
baseline.
c. Conventional immunomodulators (ie, AZA, 6‐MP, or MTX) for at least 12 weeks and

h. Direct (conjugated) bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN.
Must be otherwise healthy on the basis of clinical laboratory tests performed at screening. If the
results of the serum chemistry panel, including liver enzymes hematology, or urinalysis are
outside the normal reference ranges, the participant may be included only if the investigator
judges the abnormalities or deviations from normal to be not clinically significant or to be
appropriate and reasonable for the population under study. This determination must be recorded

.
Sex and Contraceptive/Barrier Requirements
8. A female participant of childbearing potential all female participants must have a
negative highly sensitive serum (β-human chorionic gonadotropin [β-hCG]) at
screening.

c. Conventional immunomodulators (ie, AZA, 6‐MP, or MTX) for at least 12 weeks and
have been on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks or if recently discontinued, must have
been stopped for at least 4 weeks.
d. If receiving antibiotics as a primary treatment of luminal Crohn's disease, doses must
be stable for at least 3 weeks or if recently discontinued, must have been stopped for at
least 3 weeks.
e. If receiving enteral nutrition as a primary treatment for Crohn’s disease, must have
been receiving for at least 2 weeks or if recently discontinued, must have been stopped
for at least 2 weeks.
f. Must agree not to receive a Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination during the
study and for 12 weeks after receiving the last dose of study intervention.
g. Must agree not to receive a live virus or live bacterial vaccination during the study and
for 12 weeks after receiving the last dose of study intervention.
Note: Participant who requires treatment for latent TB must complete the appropriate course of
TB therapy.
7. Screening laboratory test results within the following parameters, and if 1 or more of
the laboratory parameters is out of range, a single retest of laboratory values is
permitted during the approximate 3-week screening period:
a. Hemoglobin ≥8.0 g/dL
b. White blood cells (WBCs) ≥ 3.0 x 103 /μL
c. Neutrophils ≥1.5 x 103 /μL
d. Platelets ≥100 x 103 /μL
e. Serum creatinine ≤1.5 mg/dL.
f. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2 using the Chronic
Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula.
g. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) concentrations
must be ≤2 times the upper limit of normal range for the laboratory conducting the test.
h. Direct (conjugated) bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN.
Must be otherwise healthy on the basis of clinical laboratory tests performed at screening. If the
results of the serum chemistry panel, including liver enzymes hematology, or urinalysis are
outside the normal reference ranges, the participant may be included only if the investigator
judges the abnormalities or deviations from normal to be not clinically significant or to be
appropriate and reasonable for the population under study. This determination must be recorded
in the participant's source documents and initialed by the investigator.
.
Sex and Contraceptive/Barrier Requirements
8. A female participant of childbearing potential all female participants must have a
negative highly sensitive serum (β-human chorionic gonadotropin [β-hCG]) at
screening.
9. A female participant must be (as defined in Appendix 8: Contraceptive and Barrier
Guidance)
a. Not of childbearing potential
OR
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 while receiving study intervention and until 150 days after
last dose - the end of relevant systemic exposure. The investigator must evaluate the
potential for contraceptive method failure (eg, noncompliance, recently initiated) in
relationship to the first dose of study intervention. Examples of highly effective
methods of contraception are located in Appendix 8: Contraceptive and Barrier
Guidance.
Note: If a participant’s childbearing potential changes after start of the study (eg, a
premenarchal woman experiences menarche) or the risk of pregnancy changes (eg, a
woman who is not heterosexually active becomes active), a woman must begin using a
highly effective method of contraception,
18
as described throughout the inclusion and
exclusion criteria.
10. A male participant must wear a condom when engaging in any activity that allows for
passage of ejaculate to another person for 90 days after the last dose of azathioprine
guselkumab or placebo. Male participants must also be advised of the benefit for a
female partner to use a highly effective method of contraception as condom may break
or leak.
11. Woman of childbearing potential or man capable of fathering children must be using
adequate birth control measures. Donation of Ova, oocytes and sperm for the purpose
of assisted reproduction during the study and for a period of 12 weeks after the last
administration of study interventions are prohibited.
Informed Consent
12. Must sign an informed consent form (ICF) (or their legally acceptable representative
when permitted by local regulations must sign) indicating that he/she understands the
purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate.
13. Be willing and able to adhere to all specified requirements including but not limited to
completion of assessments, adherence to visit schedule etc, as specified in this protocol.
