TREMFYA® is the only IL-23i to demonstrate clinical remission and endoscopic response, both at one year, with a fully subcutaneous induction regimen Supported by data from the GALAXI study, TREMFYA® is the only IL-23i to show superiority versus STELARA® in all pooled endoscopic endpoints within a double-blinded registrational trial TREMFYA® approval in Crohn's disease builds upon recent ulcerative colitis FDA approval, marking the fourth indication for this dual-acting IL-23i in the U.S. HORSHAM, Pa., March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved TREMFYA® (guselkumab), the first and only IL-23 inhibitor offering both subcutaneous (SC) and intravenous (IV) induction options, for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD), a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract.1 This milestone builds upon the FDA approval of TREMFYA® in moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC), one of two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD),2 which impacts the lives of nearly three million Americans.3 TREMFYA® is the first and only approved fully-human, dual-acting monoclonal antibody that blocks IL-23 while also binding to CD64, a receptor on cells that produce IL-23. IL-23 is a cytokine secreted by activated monocyte/macrophages and dendritic cells that is known to be a driver of immune-mediated diseases including CD.4,5,6,7,8 "Despite the progress in the management of Crohn's disease, many patients experience debilitating symptoms and are in need of new treatment options," said Remo Panaccione, MD, FRCPC, Professor of Medicine and the Director of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Unit at the University of Calgary and lead investigator of the Phase 3 GRAVITI study. "The approval of TREMFYA offers an IL-23 inhibitor that has shown robust rates of endoscopic remission with both subcutaneous and intravenous induction regimens. Importantly, the fully subcutaneous regimen offers choice and flexibility for patients and providers that have not been available before." This approval is supported by results from multiple rigorous Phase 3 trials evaluating more than 1,300 patients with moderately to severely active CD who failed or were intolerant to conventional therapy (i.e. corticosteroids or immunomodulators) or biologics.6 The GRAVITI study evaluated TREMFYA® SC induction and maintenance therapy versus placebo. Data from the GALAXI clinical program showed TREMFYA® was superior to STELARA® in all pooled endoscopic endpoints, the only IL-23 inhibitor to achieve this in a double-blinded registrational program. The comprehensive results from these Phase 3 studies demonstrated the robust efficacy of SC or IV TREMFYA® in achieving clinical and endoscopic endpoints. Highlights from these pivotal studies showed:6 Week 12 Results GRAVITI GALAXI 2 GALAXI 3 TREMFYA® 400 mg SCinduction at Weeks 0, 4and 8 vs. placebo TREMFYA® 200 mg IVinduction at Weeks 0, 4and 8 vs. placebo TREMFYA® 200 mg IVinduction at Weeks 0, 4and 8 vs. placebo Clinical remission 56% vs. 22% (p<0.001) 47% vs. 20% (p<0.001) 47% vs. 15% (p<0.001) Endoscopic response 34% vs. 15% (p<0.001) 36% vs. 9% (p<0.001) 34% vs. 13% (p<0.001) Week 48 Results GRAVITI TREMFYA® 100 mg SC maintenanceq8w starting at Week 16 vs. placebo TREMFYA® 200 mg SC maintenanceq4w starting at Week 12 vs. placebo Clinical remission 59% vs. 17% 65% vs. 17% Endoscopic response 39% vs. 5% 48% vs. 5% Endoscopic remission 31% vs. 6% 40% vs. 6% Deep remission (clinical & endoscopicremission)9 26% vs. 4% 34% vs. 4% "TREMFYA is the first and only IL-23 inhibitor that offers a fully subcutaneous treatment option for moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. With the approval of TREMFYA, it is now possible to achieve meaningful improvements in clinical and endoscopic outcomes with the flexibility of self-administration from the start," said Chris Gasink, MD, Vice President, Medical Affairs, Gastroenterology & Autoantibody, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. "TREMFYA provides people living with Crohn's disease and their healthcare providers a new treatment option that is supported by data from multiple Phase 3 studies, including pooled analyses showing statistical superiority versus STELARA across four endoscopic or combined clinical and endoscopic endpoints." TREMFYA® dosing in the treatment of moderately to severely active CD:6 The recommended SC induction dosage is 400 mg (given as two consecutive injections of 200 mg each, dispensed in one Induction Pack) at Weeks 0, 4 and 8. TREMFYA® is also available in a 200 mg prefilled syringe. For the IV induction option, 200 mg IV infusions are administered at Weeks 0, 4 and 8. Recommended maintenance dosage is 100 mg administered by SC injection at Week 16, and every 8 weeks thereafter, or 200 mg administered by SC injection at Week 12, and every 4 weeks thereafter. Healthcare providers are instructed to use the lowest effective recommended dosage to maintain therapeutic response. Johnson & Johnson is committed to supporting access to all its treatments, including offering a patient support program called TREMFYA® withMe. For commercially insured patients, adults who are prescribed TREMFYA® for CD may be eligible to receive their first induction treatment in as little as 24 hours through TREMFYA® withMe. This approval marks the fourth indication for TREMFYA® in the U.S., following moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in July 2017, active psoriatic arthritis in July 2020 and moderately to severely active UC in September 2024,6 underscoring Johnson & Johnson's long-standing legacy in innovation and commitment to patients living with chronic immune-mediated diseases, including IBD. In November 2024, Johnson & Johnson submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) to the FDA seeking approval of a SC induction regimen of TREMFYA® for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active UC, based on results of the Phase 3 ASTRO study. Editor's Notes: a) CD64+ cells are the predominant source of IL-23 in CD. Cells not expressing CD64 may also contribute to IL-23 production but to a lesser extent.1,3b) "Only" based on approved selective IL-23 inhibitors for moderately to severely active CD as of March 2025.6,7,8c) Based on in vitro studies in an inflammatory monocyte model.4 d) Moderately to severely active CD was defined as a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of ≥220 and a Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) of ≥6 (or ≥4 for subjects with isolated ileal disease).6e) Clinical remission was defined as a CDAI score of <150.,6f) Endoscopic response is defined as >50% improvement from baseline in SES-CD score.6g) Endoscopic remission was defined as an SES-CD score ≤4 and at least a 2-point reduction from baseline and no subscore greater than 1 in any individual component.6h) q4w is defined as every four weeks.6i) q8w is defined as every eight weeks.6j) Dr. Panaccione is a paid consultant for Johnson & Johnson. He has not been compensated for any media work. ABOUT THE GRAVITI STUDY (NCT05197049) GRAVITI is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study to evaluate guselkumab SC induction therapy (400 mg at Weeks 0, 4, and 8) in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who experienced an inadequate response or failed to tolerate conventional therapy (i.e., corticosteroids or immunomodulators) or biologic therapy (TNF antagonists or vedolizumab).10 Patients received guselkumab 400 mg SC q4w (x3) followed by guselkumab 200 mg SC q4w; or guselkumab 400 mg SC q4w (x3) followed by guselkumab 100 mg SC q8w; or placebo. The maintenance doses in GRAVITI (200 mg SC q4w and 100 mg SC q8w) are the same as those evaluated in the Phase 3 GALAXI 2 and GALAXI 3 studies that evaluated the efficacy and safety of IV induction followed by SC maintenance therapy in patients with moderate to severely active Crohn's disease. Similar to GALAXI, GRAVITI employed a treat-through design, in which patients were randomized to guselkumab at Week 0 and remained on that regimen throughout the study, regardless of clinical response status at the end of induction. Participants randomized to placebo were able to receive guselkumab (400 mg SC q4w x3 ➔ 100 mg SC q8w) if rescue criteria were met at Week 16.10 ABOUT THE GALAXI PROGRAM (NCT03466411) GALAXI is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, active-controlled (ustekinumab), global, multicenter Phase 2/3 program designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of guselkumab in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease with inadequate response/intolerance to conventional therapies (corticosteroids or immunomodulators) and/or biologics (TNF antagonists or vedolizumab).11 GALAXI includes a Phase 2 dose-ranging study (GALAXI 1) and two independent, identically designed confirmatory Phase 3 studies (GALAXI 2 and 3).11 Each GALAXI study employed a treat-through design in which participants remained on the treatment to which they were initially randomized and includes a long-term extension study that will assess clinical, endoscopic, and safety outcomes with guselkumab through a total of five years. Patients received guselkumab 200 mg intravenous induction at Weeks 0, 4 and 8 followed by guselkumab 200 mg subcutaneous maintenance every 4 weeks; or guselkumab 200 mg intravenous induction at Weeks 0, 4 and 8, followed by guselkumab 100 mg subcutaneous maintenance every 8 weeks; or a biologic active control; or placebo. Participants randomized to placebo were able to receive ustekinumab if clinical response was not met at Week 12. Of the 873 individuals pooled across the GALAXI 2 & 3 dataset, 456 (52 percent) had prior history of inadequate response to biologics, 365 (42 percent) were biologic-naïve and 52 (6 percent) were biologic experienced without documented inadequate response or intolerance.12 The GALAXI 2 and GALAXI 3 studies were the first-ever double-blind registrational head-to-head clinical trials to demonstrate superiority versus ustekinumab in Crohn's disease, showing guselkumab was superior to ustekinumab in all endoscopic-based endpoints when analyzed with pooled data. ABOUT CROHN'S DISEASE Crohn's disease is one of the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease, which affects an estimated three million Americans.3 Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract with no known cause, but the disease is associated with abnormalities of the immune system that could be triggered by a genetic predisposition, diet, or other environmental factors.1 Symptoms of Crohn's disease can vary, but often include abdominal pain and tenderness, frequent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, weight loss, and fever. Currently no cure is available for Crohn's disease.3 ABOUT TREMFYA® (guselkumab) Developed by Johnson & Johnson, TREMFYA® is the first approved fully-human, dual-acting monoclonal antibody designed to neutralize inflammation at the cellular source by blocking IL-23 and binding to CD64 (a receptor on cells that produce IL-23). Findings for dual-acting are limited to in vitro studies that demonstrate guselkumab binds to CD64, which is expressed on the surface of IL-23 producing cells in an inflammatory monocyte model. The clinical significance of this finding is not known. TREMFYA® is a prescription medicine approved in the U.S. to treat: adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who may benefit from taking injections or pills (systemic therapy) or phototherapy (treatment using ultraviolet or UV light). adults with active psoriatic arthritis. adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. TREMFYA® is approved in Europe, Canada, Japan, and a number of other countries for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and for the treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis.
