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

"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.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
STELARA® is a prescription medicine that affects your
immune system. STELARA® can increase your chance of having
serious side effects including:
Serious Infections
STELARA® may lower your ability to fight infections
and may increase your risk of infections. While taking
STELARA®, some people have serious infections, which may
require hospitalization, including tuberculosis (TB), and
infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses.
- Your doctor should check you for TB before starting
STELARA® and watch you closely for signs and symptoms of
TB during treatment with STELARA®.
- If your doctor feels that you are at risk for TB, you may be
treated for TB before and during treatment with
STELARA®.
You should not start taking STELARA® if you have any
kind of infection unless your doctor says it is okay.
Before starting STELARA®, tell your doctor if you:
- think you have an infection or have symptoms of an infection
such as:
-
- fever, sweats, or chills
- muscle aches
- cough
- shortness of breath
- blood in phlegm
- weight loss
- warm, red, or painful skin or sores on your body
- diarrhea or stomach pain
- burning when you urinate or urinate more often than normal
- feel very tired
- are being treated for an infection or have any open cuts.
- get a lot of infections or have infections that keep coming
back.
- have TB, or have been in close contact with someone with
TB.
After starting STELARA®, call your doctor right away if
you have any symptoms of an infection (see above). These may be
signs of infections such as chest infections, or skin infections or
shingles that could have serious complications. STELARA®
can make you more likely to get infections or make an infection
that you have worse. People who have a genetic problem where
the body does not make any of the proteins interleukin 12 (IL-12)
and interleukin 23 (IL-23) are at a higher risk for certain serious
infections that can spread throughout the body and cause death.
People who take STELARA® may also be more likely to get
these infections.
Cancers
STELARA® may decrease the activity of your immune
system and increase your risk for certain types of cancer. Tell
your doctor if you have ever had any type of cancer. Some people
who had risk factors for skin cancer developed certain types of
skin cancers while receiving STELARA®. Tell your doctor
if you have any new skin growths.
Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES)
PRES is a rare condition that affects the brain and can cause
death. The cause of PRES is not known. If PRES is found early and
treated, most people recover. Tell your doctor right away if you
have any new or worsening medical problems including: headache,
seizures, confusion, and vision problems.
Serious Allergic Reactions
Serious allergic reactions can occur. Stop using
STELARA® and get medical help right away if you have any
symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as: feeling faint,
swelling of your face, eyelids, tongue, or throat, chest tightness,
or skin rash.
Lung Inflammation
Cases of lung inflammation have happened in some people who
receive STELARA® and may be serious. These lung problems
may need to be treated in a hospital. Tell your doctor right away
if you develop shortness of breath or a cough that doesn't go away
during treatment with STELARA®.
Before receiving STELARA®, tell your doctor about all of your
medical conditions, including if you:
- have any of the conditions or symptoms listed above for serious
infections, cancers, or PRES.
- ever had an allergic reaction to STELARA® or any of
its ingredients. Ask your doctor if you are not sure.
- are allergic to latex. The needle cover on the prefilled
syringe contains latex.
- have recently received or are scheduled to receive an
immunization (vaccine). People who take STELARA® should
not receive live vaccines. Tell your doctor if anyone in your house
needs a live vaccine. The viruses used in some types of live
vaccines can spread to people with a weakened immune system, and
can cause serious problems. You should not receive the BCG
vaccine during the one year before receiving STELARA® or one year
after you stop receiving STELARA®.
- have any new or changing lesions within psoriasis areas or on
normal skin.
- are receiving or have received allergy shots, especially for
serious allergic reactions.
- receive or have received phototherapy for your psoriasis.
- are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if
STELARA® can harm your unborn baby. You and your doctor
should decide if you will receive STELARA®.
- received STELARA® while you were pregnant. It is
important that you tell your baby's healthcare provider before any
vaccinations are given to your baby.
- are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. STELARA®
can pass into your breast milk.
- talk to your doctor about the best way to feed your baby if you
receive STELARA®.
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take,
including prescription and over-the counter medicines, vitamins,
and herbal supplements. Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of
them to show your doctor and pharmacist when you get a new
medicine.
When prescribed STELARA®:
- Use STELARA® exactly as your doctor tells you
to.
- STELARA® is intended for use under the guidance and
supervision of your doctor. In children 6 years and older, it is
recommended that STELARA® be administered by a
healthcare provider. If your doctor decides that you or a caregiver
may give your injections of STELARA® at home, you should
receive training on the right way to prepare and inject
STELARA®. Your doctor will determine the right dose of
STELARA® for you, the amount for each injection, and how
often you should receive it. Do not try to inject
STELARA® yourself until you or your caregiver have been
shown how to inject STELARA® by your doctor or
nurse.
Common side effects of STELARA® include: nasal
congestion, sore throat, and runny nose, upper respiratory
infections, fever, headache, tiredness, itching, nausea and
vomiting, redness at the injection site, vaginal yeast infections,
urinary tract infections, sinus infection, bronchitis, diarrhea,
stomach pain, and joint pain. These are not all of the possible
side effects with
