What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants With a Clinical Response at Week 10 in Induction Phase
Clinical response is defined as a reduction in complete Mayo score of ≥3 points and ≥30% from Baseline with an accompanying decrease in rectal bleeding subscore of ≥1 point or absolute rectal bleeding subscore of ≤1 point. Mayo Score is a standard assessment tool to measure ulcerative colitis disease activity in clinical trials. The index consists of 4 subscores (rectal bleeding, stool frequency, findings on endoscopy, and physician's global assessment), a global assessment by the physician, and an endoscopic subscore. Each subscore is scored on a scale from 0 to 3 and the complete Mayo score ranges from 0 to 12 (higher scores indicate greater disease activity).
Measured: Week 10
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission at Week 60 in Maintenance Phase
Clinical Remission is defined as a complete Mayo score of ≤2 points and no individual subscore >1 point. Mayo Score is a standard assessment tool to measure ulcerative colitis disease activity in clinical trials. The index consists of 4 subscores: rectal bleeding, stool frequency, findings on endoscopy, and physician's global assessment. Each subscore is scored on a scale from 0 to 3 and the complete Mayo score ranges from 0 to 12 (higher scores indicate greater disease activity).
Measured: Week 60
Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One or More Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g., a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug.
Measured: From Baseline to 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 170 weeks)
Number of Participants With TEAE Related to Body Weight
Measured: From Baseline to 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 170 weeks)
Number of Participants With TEAE Related to Vital Signs
Vital signs included body temperature (axilla), sitting blood pressure (after the participant has rested for at least 5 minutes), and pulse (bpm).
Measured: From Baseline to 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 170 weeks)
Number of Participants With TEAE Related to Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Measured: From Baseline to 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 170 weeks)
Number of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Laboratory Parameters Values
The laboratory values outside the range (Hemoglobin <=7 g/dL, Lymphocytes <500 /µL, WBC <2000 /µL, Platelets <7.5 10^4/µL, Neutrophils <1000 /µL, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >3.0 U/L x upper limit of normal (ULN), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >3.0 U/L x ULN, Total Bilirubin >2.0 mg/dL x ULN, Amylase >2.0 (U/L) x ULN were considered markedly abnormal. Only laboratory parameters with events were represented.
Measured: From Baseline to 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 170 weeks)
Secondary outcomes (12)
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission at Week 10 in Induction Phase
Clinical Remission is defined as a complete Mayo score of ≤2 points and no individual subscore >1 point. Mayo Score is a standard assessment tool to measure ulcerative colitis disease activity in clinical trials. The index consists of 4 subscores: rectal bleeding, stool frequency, findings on endoscopy, and physician's global assessment. Each subscore is scored on a scale from 0 to 3 and the complete Mayo score ranges from 0 to 12 (higher scores indicate greater disease activity).
Measured: Week 10
Percentage of Participants With Mucosal Healing at Week 10 in Induction Phase
Mucosal healing is defined as a Mayo endoscopic subscore of ≤1 point. Mayo Score is a standard assessment tool to measure ulcerative colitis disease activity in clinical trials. The index consists of 4 subscores: rectal bleeding, stool frequency, findings on endoscopy, and physician's global assessment. Endoscopic findings were scored on a scale from 0 to 3 as follows: 0=Normal or inactive disease; 1=Mild disease (erythema, decreased vascular pattern, mild friability); 2=Moderate disease (marked erythema, lack of vascular pattern, friability, erosions); 3=Severe disease (spontaneous bleeding, ulceration).
Measured: Week 10
Percentage of Participants With Durable Clinical Response in Maintenance Phase
Durable clinical response is defined as reduction in complete Mayo score of ≥3 points and ≥30% from Baseline (Week 0) with an accompanying decrease in rectal bleeding subscore of ≥1 point or absolute rectal bleeding subscore of ≤1 point at both Weeks 10 and 60. Mayo Score is a standard assessment tool to measure ulcerative colitis disease activity in clinical trials. The index consists of 4 subscores: rectal bleeding, stool frequency, findings on endoscopy, and physician's global assessment. Each subscore is scored on a scale from 0 to 3 and the complete Mayo score ranges from 0 to 12 (higher scores indicate greater disease activity).
Measured: Weeks 10 and 60
Percentage of Participants With Mucosal Healing at Week 60 in Maintenance Phase
Mucosal healing is defined as a Mayo endoscopic subscore of ≤1 point. Mayo Score is a standard assessment tool to measure ulcerative colitis disease activity in clinical trials.

Endoscopic findings were scored on a scale from 0 to 3 as follows: 0=Normal or inactive disease; 1=Mild disease (erythema, decreased vascular pattern, mild friability); 2=Moderate disease (marked erythema, lack of vascular pattern, friability, erosions); 3=Severe disease (spontaneous bleeding, ulceration).
Measured: Week 60
Percentage of Participants With Durable Remission in Maintenance Phase
Durable clinical remission is defined as complete Mayo score of ≤2 points and no individual subscore >1 point at both Weeks 10 and 60. Mayo Score is a standard assessment tool to measure ulcerative colitis disease activity in clinical trials. The index consists of 4 subscores: rectal bleeding, stool frequency, findings on endoscopy, and physician's global assessment. Each subscore is scored on a scale from 0 to 3 and the complete Mayo score ranges from 0 to 12 (higher scores indicate greater disease activity).
Measured: Weeks 10 and 60
Percentage of Participants With Corticosteroid-Free Remission at Week 60 in Maintenance Phase
Clinical Remission is defined as a complete Mayo score of ≤2 points and no individual subscore >1 point. Corticosteroid-free clinical remission is defined as participants using oral corticosteroids at baseline (Week 0) who discontinued corticosteroids and were in clinical remission at Week 60. Mayo Score is a standard assessment tool to measure ulcerative colitis disease activity in clinical trials. The index consists of 4 subscores: rectal bleeding, stool frequency, findings on endoscopy, and physician's global assessment. Each subscore is scored on a scale from 0 to 3 and the complete Mayo score ranges from 0 to 12 (higher scores indicate greater disease activity).

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants With a Clinical Response at Week 10 in Induction Phase
Time frame: Week 10
Clinical response is defined as a reduction in complete Mayo score of ≥3 points and ≥30% from Baseline with an accompanying decrease in rectal bleeding subscore of ≥1 point or absolute rectal bleeding subscore of ≤1 point. Mayo Score is a standard assessment tool to measure ulcerative colitis disease activity in clinical trials. The index consists of 4 subscores (rectal bleeding, stool frequency, findings on endoscopy, and physician's global assessment), a global assessment by the physician, and an endoscopic subscore. Each subscore is scored on a scale from 0 to 3 and the complete Mayo score ranges from 0 to 12 (higher scores indicate greater disease activity).
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission at Week 60 in Maintenance Phase
Time frame: Week 60
Clinical Remission is defined as a complete Mayo score of ≤2 points and no individual subscore >1 point. Mayo Score is a standard assessment tool to measure ulcerative colitis disease activity in clinical trials. The index consists of 4 subscores: rectal bleeding, stool frequency, findings on endoscopy, and physician's global assessment. Each subscore is scored on a scale from 0 to 3 and the complete Mayo score ranges from 0 to 12 (higher scores indicate greater disease activity).
Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One or More Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Time frame: From Baseline to 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 170 weeks)
An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g., a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug.
Number of Participants With TEAE Related to Body Weight
Time frame: From Baseline to 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 170 weeks)
Number of Participants With TEAE Related to Vital Signs
Time frame: From Baseline to 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 170 weeks)
Vital signs included body temperature (axilla), sitting blood pressure (after the participant has rested for at least 5 minutes), and pulse (bpm).
Number of Participants With TEAE Related to Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Time frame: From Baseline to 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 170 weeks)
Number of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Laboratory Parameters Values
Time frame: From Baseline to 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 170 weeks)
The laboratory values outside the range (Hemoglobin <=7 g/dL, Lymphocytes <500 /µL, WBC <2000 /µL, Platelets <7.5 10^4/µL, Neutrophils <1000 /µL, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >3.0 U/L x upper limit of normal (ULN), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >3.0 U/L x ULN, Total Bilirubin >2.0 mg/dL x ULN, Amylase >2.0 (U/L) x ULN were considered markedly abnormal. Only laboratory parameters with events were represented.
