Persistence with Guselkumab Treatment
Persistence with guselkumab treatment is defined as time at which the next infusion should have taken place for a participant after their last scheduled infusion. It will be used to measure the guselkumab persistence in participants.
Measured: Up to Week 96
Secondary outcomes (50)
Number of Participants with Early Responses to Guselkumab Measured Using Bowel Urgency
Number of participants with early responses to guselkumab measured using bowel urgency will be assessed via participant diaries.

PMS is used to assess disease severity and treatment effectiveness. The PMS comprises 3 categories: rectal bleeding, SF, and physician assessment. These are rated from 0-3 and are totaled to give a total score that ranges from 0-12. Higher score indicates severe disease. Clinical response for UC is defined as the PMS score less than (<) 4 or >= 30 percent (%) reduction from baseline.
Measured: At Weeks 12, 48 and 96
Number of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission for CD as Measured by HBI Score

Measured: At Weeks 12, 48 and 96
Number of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission for UC as Measured by PMS
PMS is used to assess disease severity and treatment effectiveness. The PMS comprises 3 categories: rectal bleeding, SF, and physician assessment. These are rated from 0-3 and are totaled to give a total score that ranges from 0-12. Higher score indicates severe disease. Clinical remission for UC is defined as the PMS score < 2 and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0.
Measured: At Weeks 12, 48 and 96

SF is also a numeric variable calculated the number of liquid stools a participant has experienced over the past 3 days.
Measured: At Weeks 0 (baseline), 4, 8,12, 24, 48, 72, 96
Changes from Baseline in HRQoL as Measured by Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ)
The SIBDQ is a health-related quality of life (HRQoL) tool measuring physical, social, and emotional status in IBD participants. The SIBDQ is a 10-item survey measuring HRQoL over the last 2 weeks (frequency of bowel movement, abdominal cramps, fatigue, lack of energy, worry of surgery, fear of no toilet, ability to relax, irritable, impact on leisure, impact on intimacy). The total score ranges from 10 to 70, where high score indicates better QoL.

Changes from Baseline in HRQoL as Measured by Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy- Fatigue (FACIT-F) Questionnaire
The FACIT-F scale is a 13-item instrument designed to assess fatigue/tiredness and its impact on daily activities and functioning in chronic diseases. The instrument includes items such as tiredness, weakness, listlessness, lack of energy, and the impact of these feelings on daily functioning over the last 7 days.
