E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Main objective of SS1 (Ph2b induction) is to characterize dose-response, efficacy, and safety of upadacitinib compared to placebo in inducing clinical remission defined by Adapted Mayo score in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) in order to identify the induction dose of upadacitinib for further evaluation in Phase 3 studies, SS1 has closed enrollment and all subjects have completed the induction phase. Main objective of SS2 (Ph3 induction) is to evaluate efficacy and safety of upadacitinib 45 mg once daily (QD) compared to placebo in inducing clinical remission in subjects with moderately to severely active UC. Main objective of SS3 (Ph3 maintenance) is to evaluate efficacy and safety of upadacitinib 15 mg QD and 30 mg QD compared to placebo in achieving clinical remission in subjects with moderately to severely active UC who achieved clinical response following induction with upadacitinib in M14-234 SS1 or 2 or M14-675.

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
This is a Phase IIb/III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study consisting of the following Substudies: Substudy 1 is a Phase IIb dose-ranging study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of oral administration of multiple different doses of Upadacitinib compared to placebo as induction therapy for 8 weeks in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Substudy 2 is a Phase III dose-confirming study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral administration of one dose of Upadacitinib, based on the dose identified from Substudy 1, compared to placebo as induction therapy for 8 weeks in subjects with moderately to severely active UC. Substudy 3 is a Phase III study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral administration of two doses of Upadacitinib compared to placebo as maintenance therapy for 52 weeks in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who achieved response following induction with Upadacitinib in Substudy 1 or 2 or study M14-675. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint for Phase 2b Induction (Substudy 1) is the proportion of subjects who achieve clinical remission per Adapted Mayo score (defined as SFS ≤ 1, RBS of 0, and endoscopic subscore ≤ 1) at Week 8. The primary endpoint for Phase 3 Induction (Substudy 2) is the proportion of subjects who achieve clinical remission per Adapted Mayo score (defined as SFS ≤ 1 and not greater than Baseline, RBS of 0, and endoscopic subscore ≤ 1) at Week 8. Note: in Substudy 2, evidence of friability during endoscopy in subjects with otherwise "mild" endoscopic activity will confer an endoscopic subscore of 2. The primary endpoint for Phase 3 maintenance (Substudy 3) is the proportion of subjects who achieve clinical remission per Adapted Mayo score (definition same as definition in Substudy 2) at Week 52.
