    These assessments will be conducted at each visit. The values and change from baseline will be summarized using number of observations, mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values by visit for SAS.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 260

  14. Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Treatment-Related Adverse Events (AEs), including Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and AEs leading to discontinuation.

    Treatment-related AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. Serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 28 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. Relatedness to etrasimod was assessed by the investigator (Yes/No). Participants with multiple occurrences of an AE within a category were counted once within the category.

    Measured: Baseline up to 28 days after last dose of study intervention

  15. Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Findings in Laboratory Examinations

    Following parameters were analyzed for laboratory examination: hematology (hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, platelet count, white blood cell count, total neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, basophils, lymphocytes); Hepatobiliary biochemistry: Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Albumin, Alkaline Phosphatase, Total Bilirubin ; Renal Function Tests: Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Creatinine, Creatinine Kinase, Uric Acid ; Electrolytes: Sodium, Potassium; Glucose; Urine analysis: (decimal logarithm of reciprocal of hydrogen ion activity )[pH], Specific gravity. Clinically significant laboratory abnormality findings were based on investigator discretion.

    Measured: Baseline up to 28 days after last dose of study intervention

  16. Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Change in Vital Signs

    Following vital sign parameters were assessed: diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, respiration rate, pulse rate, temperature and body weight. Number of participants with clinically significant change in any vital sign parameter compared to baseline were reported. Clinically significant change in vital signs criteria were based on investigator's discretion.

    Measured: Baseline up to week 260

  17. Plasma concentration verses time of study intervention

    Samples collected prior to daily dosing of study intervention for measurement of plasma concentrations of etrasimod will be analyzed using a validated analytical method in compliance with applicable SOPs.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 2 and 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Etrasimod in people with Colitis, Ulcerative, run by Pfizer at 46 sites in 10 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 46 sites in United States, Israel, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and 5 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Pfizer CT.gov Call Center (1-800-718-1021, ClinicalTrials.gov_Inquiries@pfizer.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number and percent of enrolled participants with clinical remission based on Modified Mayo Score (MMS) at Week 52 (time frame: Week 52). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Oct 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
