Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Magnetic Resonance Index of Activity (MaRIA) Less Than (<)11 in All Intestinal Segments at Week 48
At Week 48

Percentage of participants achieving a MaRIA \<11 in all intestinal segments at Week 48 will be reported. The MaRIA scoring system is used to grade severity in Crohn's Disease (CD) by assessing ileocolonic CD activity on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enterography. Active disease is defined as a MaRIA score greater than or equal to (\>=)7 whereas severe disease is defined as a MaRIA score \>=11.

Percentage of Participants with Clinical Remission at Week 52
Week 52

Percentage of participants with clinical remission at Week 52 will be assessed. Clinical remission is defined as pediatric Crohn's Disease activity index (PCDAI) less than or equal to (\<=) 10.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Endoscopic Response at Week 52
Week 52

Percentage of participants who achieve endoscopic response at Week 52 will be assessed. Endoscopic response is defined as greater than or equal to (\>=) 50 percent (%) reduction (global) and greater than (\>) 50% reduction (U.S specific) from simplified endoscopic score-Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) score at baseline.

Percentage of Participants with Clinical Remission at Week 48
Week 48

Percentage of participants with clinical remission at Week 48 will be reported. Clinical remission is based on the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI).

Percentage of Participants with Endoscopic Response at Week 48
Week 48

Percentage of participants with endoscopic response at Week 48 will be reported. Endoscopic response is based on change from baseline in the simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD), as assessed by central endoscopy reading.

GALAXI 1: Change From Baseline in the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Score at Week 12
Baseline and Week 12

The multi-item CDAI score assessed severity of illness by collecting information on 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables (extraintestinal manifestations, abdominal mass, weight, hematocrit, use of antidiarrheal drug(s) and/or opiates, total number of liquid or very soft stools, abdominal pain/cramps, and general well-being). The last 3 variables were scored over 7 eligible days by the participant on a diary card. The total CDAI score ranged from 0 to 600 in general: higher score indicated higher disease activities. A decrease in total CDAI score over time indicates improvement in disease activity. Baseline was defined as the last observation prior to or at the date of the first study intervention.

Global: GALAXI 2: Percentage of Participants With Both Clinical Response at Week 12 and Clinical Remission at Week 48
Weeks 48

Clinical response was defined as a decrease from baseline (BL) in CDAI score greater than or equal to (\>=) 100 points or CDAI score \<150. Clinical remission was defined as a CDAI score \<150. The multi-item CDAI score assessed severity of illness by collecting information on 8 different Crohn's disease-related variables (extraintestinal manifestations, abdominal mass, weight, hematocrit, use of antidiarrheal drug(s) and/or opiates, total number of liquid or very soft stools, abdominal pain/cramps, and general well-being). The last 3 variables were scored over 7 eligible days by the participant on a diary card. The total CDAI score ranged from 0 to 600 in general: higher score indicated higher disease activities. A decrease in total CDAI score over time indicates improvement in disease activity.

Global: GALAXI 2: Percentage of Participants With Both Clinical Response (CR) at Week 12 and Endoscopic Response (ER) at Week 48
Weeks 48

CR: decrease from BL in CDAI score \>=100/\<150. ER: \>=50% improvement from BL in SES-CD score/SES-CD score \<=2. CDAI(8 variables):extraintestinal manifestations, abdominal mass, weight, hematocrit, use of antidiarrheal drug(s) and/or opiates, total number of liquid/soft stools, abdominal pain/cramps, general well-being. Last 3 variables scored over 7 eligible days by participant on diary. Total CDAI score ranged:0-600(in general):higher score=higher disease activities. Decrease in total CDAI score over time=improvement in disease. SES-CD evaluated 4 endoscopic components (presence \& size of ulcer, extent of ulcerated surface, extent of affected surface, presence \& type of narrowing) across 5 ileocolonic segments (ileum; right, left \& transverse colon; rectum) each scored 0(best) to 3(worst) except narrowing component for which maximum total score (that is, stricturing) was 11 points. SES-CD score: sum of all component scores(all segments) ranged:0-56, higher scores=more severe disease.
