E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the study is to assess the effect of tralokinumab compared with placebo in patients with active UC by assessment of clinical response, as defined by the Mayo score, at week 8. |
L’obiettivo primario dello studio è valutare l’efficacia di trokalinumab 300 mg sottocute (SC) confrontato con placebo in pazienti con colite ulcerosa attiva (UC) sulla base della risposta clinica. |

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
*To assess change in Mayo score from baseline to week 8. *To assess mucosal healing at week 8. *To assess change in partial Mayo score from baseline to week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24. *To assess the proportion of patients in clinical remission, as defined by the Mayo score, after 8 weeks. *To assess histology in biopsies from colonic mucosa at baseline and week 8. *To assess markers of disease activity and intestinal leakiness in serum and faeces at baseline, week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24. *To assess the pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of tralokinumab. *To evaluate the safety and tolerability of tralokinumab by assessment of reported Adverse Events (AEs), safety laboratory values, electrocardiograms, vital signs, weight, and physical examination findings. |
