Description

Inclusion Criteria For Crohn's Disease (CD) Participants

• Participant must have a body weight in the range of 45 to 110 kilogram (kg) inclusive and have a body mass index (BMI) of 18 to 35 kilogram per meter square (kg/m^2) inclusive
• Have had moderate to severe CD or fistulizing CD of at least 3 months duration, with colitis, ileitis, or ileocolitis, confirmed at any time in the past by histology, and/or endoscopy

For Healthy Volunteers

• Healthy on the basis of clinical laboratory tests performed at screening and Day-1
• If a woman of childbearing potential, she must have a negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy test at screening; and a negative urine pregnancy test at Day -1

Exclusion Criteria For CD Participants

• Has complications of CD such as symptomatic strictures or stenoses, short gut syndrome, or any other manifestation that might be anticipated to require surgery in the next 3 months, could preclude the use of the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) to assess response to therapy, would possibly confound the ability to assess the effect of treatment with ustekinumab, or would alter the absorption of the probe cocktail

Recent cutaneous and perianal abscesses are not exclusionary if drained and adequately treated at least 3 weeks prior to baseline, or 8 weeks prior to baseline for intra-abdominal abscesses, provided that there is no anticipated need for any further surgery. Participants with active fistulas may be included if there is no anticipation of a need for surgery and there are currently no abscesses identified
