Number of Subjects who Achieved Clinical Response at Week 6 | ||||||
End point description |
Clinical response was defined as a decrease from baseline in the Mayo score by greater than or equal to (>=) 30 percent (%) and >= to 3 points, with either a decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore of 1 or more or a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1. The Mayo score consists of 4 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopy findings, and physician’s global assessment), rated as 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). Total score was calculated as the sum of 4 subscores and values ranged from 0 to 12 scores, where 3 to 5 = mild disease; 6 to 10 = moderate disease; and 11 to 12 = severe disease. Higher scores indicated worsening of the disease. Analysis population included all enrolled subjects who received at least one administration of golimumab.

Date |
Amendment |
||
19 Dec 2013 |
Subjects in clinical response was continued receiving open-label maintenance therapy with golimumab and had the opportunity to participate in the study extension at Week 14. For subject convenience, the option of at-home golimumab administration is added during the study extension for subjects greater than or equal to (>=) 45 kilograms (kg). Addition of the option of at-home golimumab administration during the study extension for subjects with body weight >=45 kg: This was added for subject convenience. Addition of the option for subjects to decrease their dose to golimumab 50 mg or
22.5 mg/m2 at Week 14 or thereafter at the discretion of the investigator: Once a subject’s dose was reduced, a single dose increase back to 100 mg or 45 mg/m2 was permitted based
on the investigator’s assessment of an increase in a subject’s UC disease activity. A more flexible dosage strategy during the study extension allowed investigators to use the lowest effective dose and provided some discretion to investigators to increase the dose to manage the subject’s clinical condition.
Collection of a digital image of the screening and Week 6 endoscopies: A digital image of the endoscopy supported documentation of a subject’s disease activity at the time of the
assessment of the endoscopic score. Addition of a biomarker evaluation for mucosal biopsy ribonucleic acid (RNA): This
analysis enables examination of gene expression associated with pediatric UC. Update of the reference point for the stable concomitant UC therapy inclusion criteria: To minimize the period of time in which subjects were not receiving effective therapy, the reference point for stable concomitant UC therapy was modified from the screening procedures for the Mayo score to the first dose of study agent (Week 0). |
