A Phase 1b, Multicenter, Randomized, Blinded, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Guselkumab in Subjects with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis

Overview

About this study

This is a proof-of-concept study to evaluate the preliminary clinical activity of guselkumab in subjects with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis. The study is designed to determine if guselkumab has clinical activity in the colorectum and duodenum, by reducing the number of polyps over a period of 24 weeks.
