Notes [1] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left. Justification: The number of subjects who started is the same as the number of subjects in the arm (N=255). |

Number of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Remission at Day 56 | |||||||||
End point description |
Clinical remission defined as a score of 0 for rectal bleeding and 0 for stool frequency components from the Ulcerative Colitis Disease Activity Index (UCDAI). UCDAI is the sum (0 to 12) of 4 severity scores (0 to 3). Stool frequency and rectal bleeding were based on information recorded in daily participant diaries. Diary entries were averaged for rectal bleeding and stool frequency for 3 days prior to (and closest to) Day 56 with non-missing diary data, within 5 days prior to (and closest to) Day 56. The averages were rounded to integer values. If either subscore could not be calculated because of missing data, the score for that UCDAI component was set to missing. Participants who had clinical remission at Baseline were classified as non-responders. Population included participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had active UC at study entry as a cause of their symptoms (Intent-to-Treat [ITT] Population) with evaluable clinical remission data.

End point description |
Clinical response defined as an improvement in UCDAI from Baseline of ≥3 points with a rectal bleeding score ≤1. UCDAI is the sum (0 to 12) of 4 severity scores (0 to 3). Rectal bleeding was based on information recorded in daily participant diaries. The diary entries were averaged for rectal bleeding for 3 days prior to (and closest to) Day 56 with non-missing diary data, within 5 days prior to (and closest to) Day 56. The 5 days did not include any days of the flexible sigmoidoscopy (or colonoscopy) or the preparation for the flexible sigmoidoscopy (or colonoscopy). The averages were rounded to integer values. If either subscore could not be calculated because of missing data, the score for that UCDAI component was set to missing. Population included participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had active UC at study entry as a cause of their symptoms (ITT Population) with evaluable clinical response data.

Number of Participants Who Achieved UCDAI Remission at Day 56 | |||||||||
End point description |
UCDAI remission was defined as a total UCDAI score ≤1 with subscores of 0 for rectal bleeding, stool frequency, and mucosal appearance of the colon. UCDAI is the sum (0 to 12) of 4 severity scores (0 to 3). Stool frequency and rectal bleeding were based on information recorded in daily participant diaries, and mucosal appearance was based on endoscopy results. The diary entries were averaged for rectal bleeding and stool frequency for 3 days prior to (and closest to) Day 56 with non-missing diary data, within 5 days prior to (and closest to) Day 56. The averages were rounded to integer values. If the subscore could not be calculated because of missing data, the score for that UCDAI component was set to missing.

Mucosal appearance was based on endoscopy results. If the mucosal appearance subscore could not be calculated because of missing data, endoscopic remission was set to missing. Participants with insufficient data at Day 56 were excluded from the analysis.

Change From Baseline in Inflammatory Bowel Disease-Quality of Life (IBD-QoL) Questionnaire Scores | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
End point description |
The IBD-QoL questionnaire was self-completed by the participant. The IBD-QoL is a disease-specific instrument to evaluate the quality of life of participants with UC. This 32-item questionnaire has 4 dimensions: bowel function, emotional function, systemic symptoms, and social function. The total score is presented, which ranges from 32 to 224, with higher scores indicating a better quality of life. The scores of participants in remission usually range from 170 to 190. If >50% of the questionnaire answers for a particular dimension were missing, this dimension score was set to missing. The total score for the IBD-QoL was the sum of the domain scores, however, if any dimension score was missing, the total IBD-QoL score was set to missing. Participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had active UC at study entry as a cause of their symptoms (ITT Population) with evaluable IBD-QoL data.
