E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Evaluate the long-term safety of RPC1063 for the treatment of all
patients with moderate to severe UC.
Evaluate the long-term efficacy of RPC1063 for the treatment of adult
patients with moderate to severe UC. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Previously participated in a trial of RPC1063 (eg, RPC01-3101 or
completed at least 1 year of the open-label period of RPC01-202) and
meet the criteria for participation in the open label extension as outlined
in the prior trial
2. Females of childbearing potential (FCBP)*:
Must agree to practice a highly effective method of contraception**
throughout the trial until completion of the 90-day Safety Follow-up
Visit. Highly effective methods of contraception are those that alone or
in combination result in a failure rate of a Pearl index of less than 1%
per year when used consistently and correctly. Acceptable methods of
birth control in the trial are the following:
-combined hormonal (oestrogen and progestogen containing)
contraception, which may be oral, intravaginal, or transdermal
-progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of
ovulation, which may be oral, injectable, or implantable
-placement of an intrauterine device (IUD)
-placement of an intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)
-bilateral tubal occlusion
-vasectomized partner
-complete sexual abstinence
*For the purposes of this study, a female patient is considered to be of
childbearing potential if she has reached menarche, and 1) has not
undergone a hysterectomy (the surgical removal of the uterus) or
bilateral oophorectomy (the surgical removal of both ovaries) or 2) has
not been postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (that is,
has had menses at any time during the preceding 24 consecutive
months)
**Contraception Education: Counselling about pregnancy precautions
and the potential risks of fetal exposure must be conducted for FCBP.
The Investigator will educate all FCBP about the different options of
contraceptive methods or abstinence, as appropriate, at the Screening
and Baseline Visits. The patient will be re-educated every time her
contraceptive measures/methods or ability to become pregnant
changes. The female patient's chosen form of contraception must be
effective by the time the female patient is randomized into the study (for
example, hormonal contraception should be initiated at least 28 days
before baseline).
Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods),
withdrawal (coitus interruptus), spermicides only, and lactational
amenorrhea method are not acceptable methods of contraception.
3. Must provide written informed consent and have the ability to
be compliant with the schedule of protocol assessments, which must be
obtained prior to any trial-related procedures. The parent/legal guardian
of the adolescent must sign an informed consent form. In addition,
adolescent patients must also agree to participate in the study by
signing an assent. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Due to the open-label nature of the trial and the lack of a control group,
all data will be summarized and no hypothesis testing will be performed.
Each efficacy endpoint will be summarized and 95% confidence intervals
around the estimates may also be presented.
Efficacy Endpoints:
• Proportion of patients in clinical remission.
• Proportion of patients with a clinical response
• Proportion of patients with endoscopic improvement
• Proportion of patients with mucosal healing
• Proportion of patients with corticosteroid-free remission
• Change from Baseline in complete Mayo score, partial Mayo score, and
9-point Mayo score
• Proportion of patients with histologic remission
• Proportion of patients with clinical response, clinical remission, or
endoscopic improvement in patients who had previously received anti-
TNF therapy
Safety Endpoints:
-The incidence, severity, and relationship of treatment-emergent adverse
events (TEAEs), serious AEs (SAEs), TEAEs leading to discontinuation of
investigational drug, AEs of special interest (AESIs),
and TEAEs of special interest will be summarized.
- Exploratory safety endpoints include changes from baseline for clinical laboratory measures, vital signs, ECGs, and pulmonary function tests.
Other Exploratory Endpoints:
Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) derived from hematology laboratory results
- Blood biomarkers (cytokines, chemokines, other markers of
inflammation)
- Stool biomarkers (eg FCP)
- Mucosal tissue blood biomarkers (eg, lymphocyte subsets)
- Exploratory measurements of immune response (e.g. SARS-CoV-2 serology), from blood samples (processed for serum only) collected after the amendment, every 48 weeks thereafter and end of treatment, and the potential association between these measurements and selected endpoints related to safety, efficacy, and/or biomarkers. |
