What is the Purpose of this Study?
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the experimental combination of guselkumab and golimumab is safe and effective for treating patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Treatment with three different doses of the combination will be compared against treatment with guselkumab or golimumab alone. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive guselkumab only, golimumab only, a combination of both guselkumab and golimumab, or placebo. Guselkumab works by blocking an inflammatory protein made by the immune cells called interleukin (IL-23). Golimumab works by blocking an inflammatory protein made by immune cells called tumor necrosis factor (TNF). The combination of guselkumab and golimumab works by blocking both IL-23 and TNF.
