Inclusion criteria

  • Have Crohn's disease or fistulizing Crohn's disease of at least 3 months' duration, with colitis, ileitis, or ileocolitis, confirmed at any time in the past by radiography, histology, and/or endoscopy
  • A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative highly sensitive serum (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [b-hCG]) pregnancy test result at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test result at Week 0
  • Adhere to the following requirements for concomitant medication for the treatment of Crohn's disease, which are permitted provided that doses meeting these requirements are stable, or have been discontinued, for at least 3 weeks before baseline (Week 0), unless otherwise specified: a) Oral 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) compounds, b) Oral corticosteroids at a prednisone-equivalent dose at or below 40 milligram per day (mg/day), or 9 mg/day of budesonide, or 5 mg/day beclomethasone dipropionate, c) Antibiotics being used as a primary treatment of Crohn's disease, d) Conventional immunomodulators (that is, azathioprine (AZA), 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), or Methotrexate (MTX)): participants must have been taking them for at least 12 weeks and at a stable dose for at least 4 weeks before baseline
  • A participant who has had extensive colitis for greater than or equal to (>=) 8 years, or disease limited to the left side of the colon for >= 12 years, must either have had a colonoscopy to assess for the presence of dysplasia within 1 year before the first administration of study agent or a colonoscopy to assess for the presence of malignancy at the screening visit, with no evidence of malignancy
  • Have active Crohn's disease, defined as a baseline Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of >= 220 but <= 450

Exclusion criteria

  • Participants who have received intravenous (IV) corticosteroids less then (<)3 weeks or have received tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) antagonist biologic agents (example, monoclonal antibody [mAb] therapies) or other agents intended to suppress or eliminate tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) <8 weeks or have received Vedolizumab <16 weeks before the first administration of study drug
  • Woman who is pregnant or planning pregnancy or is a man who plans to father while randomized in the study or within 16 weeks after the last administration of study agent
  • Participants with certain complications of Crohn's disease that would make it hard to assess response to study drug
  • Participants with a history of or ongoing chronic or recurrent infectious disease
  • Has previously received a biologic agent targeting interleukin (IL)-12 or IL-23, including but not limited to ustekinumab or briakinumab (ABT-874)

Primary outcomes

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

    Time frame: Baseline to 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.

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

    Time frame: Baseline to 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.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Part II: Percentage of Participants in Clinical Remission at Week 12 as Measured by CDAI (CDAI Less Than [<] 150)

    Time frame: Week 12

    Clinical Remission was defined as a CDAI score of <150 point. The CDAI score is used to quantify the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. 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. 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. A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity. In general, CDAI score ranges from 0 to approximately 600; higher score indicates higher disease activities.

  2. Part II: Percentage of Participants in Clinical Response at Week 12 as Measured by CDAI (Greater Than or Equal to [>=] 100-point Reduction From Baseline in CDAI or CDAI <150)

    Time frame: Week 12

    Clinical response was defined as a >=100-point reduction from the baseline CDAI score, or a CDAI score <150. The CDAI score is used to quantify the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. 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. 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 CDAI score is used to quantify the symptoms of participants with Crohn's Disease. A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity. In general, CDAI score ranges from 0 to approximately 600; higher score indicates higher disease activities.

  3. Part II: Change From Baseline in Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO)-2 at Week 12

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 12

    The PRO-2 score is defined as the sum of the abdominal pain and stool frequency components of the CDAI. PRO-2 scores ranges from 0 to approximately 300, higher score indicates higher disease activity.

  4. Part II: Percentage of Participants in Clinical Remission at Week 12 as Measured by PRO-2 (PRO-2 <75)

    Time frame: Week 12

    Clinical Remission was defined as a PRO-2 score of <75 point.

  5. Part II: Percentage of Participants in Clinical Response at Week 12 as Measured by PRO-2 (>=50-point Reduction From Baseline in PRO-2 Score or PRO-2 Score <75)

    Time frame: Week 12

    Clinical response was defined as >=50-point reduction from baseline in PRO-2 or Score or PRO-2 Score <75.

  6. Part II: Change From Baseline in Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) at Week 12

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 12

    SES-CD is a validated instrument reflecting an endoscopist global appraisal of mucosal lesions in Crohn's disease. SES-CD grades lesions by location (5 bowel segments: ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum) using 4 endoscopic variables: ulcer size, extent of ulcerated surface, extent of affected surface, and presence/type of narrowing. The total SES-CD was calculated as the sum of the 4 variables for the 5 bowel segments: rectum, left colon, transverse colon, right colon, and ileum. Scores range from 0 to 60, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.
