Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Have a body mass index (BMI) 16 to 45 kilogram per meter square (kg/m^2). Underweight
participants (BMI 16 to 18 kg/m^2) may only be included if in the opinion of the
investigator a participant was underweight due to active celiac disease and thus, may
benefit from therapy but yet not be at significantly increased risk due to severe
malabsorption or other conditions

- Physician-diagnosed celiac disease with documented history of biopsy-proven celiac
disease

- Self-reported to be on a gluten-free diet (GFD) for at least 11 consecutive months
prior to enrollment and have the willingness to continue to adhere to the same GFD
while on study

- Willing to take/ingest gluten-containing product at specific study timepoints only (if
assigned to Module B)

- Willing to undergo up to 3 on-study esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with biopsies
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
75 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- Has a history of chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal disease (example, inflammatory
bowel disease, extensive colitis, ulcerative jejunitis, eosinophilic esophagitis)

- Has chronic infectious gastrointestinal illness, or acute infectious gastrointestinal
illness within the 4-week period prior to screening

- Currently has a malignancy or a history of malignancy within 5 years before screening
(with the exception of a non-melanoma skin cancer that has been adequately treated
with no evidence of recurrence for at least 3 months before the first study
intervention administration or cervical carcinoma in situ that has been treated with
no evidence of recurrence for at least 3 months before the first study intervention);
known history of lymphoproliferative disease, including monoclonal gammopathy of
unknown significance, lymphoma, or signs and symptoms suggestive of possible
lymphoproliferative disease, such as lymphadenopathy and/or splenomegaly

- Has a history of, or ongoing, chronic or recurrent infectious disease, including but
not limited to, chronic renal infection, chronic chest infection, recurrent urinary
tract infection (example, recurrent pyelonephritis or chronic non-remitting cystitis),
or open, draining, or infected skin wounds or ulcers

- Has had previous treatment with guselkumab
