E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male and/or female subjects ≥18 years to ≤75 years of age at the time of informed consent. For subjects in Korea: Male and/or female subjects ≥19 years to ≤75 years of age at the time of informed consent. 2. Diagnosis (endoscopic and histological) of UC for ≥3 months prior to entry into the study. A report supporting disease duration and extent (eg, proctosigmoiditis, left-sided colitis, or pancolitis) based upon prior endoscopy including a biopsy report must be available in the source documentation. 3. Subjects with moderate to severe active UC as defined by a total Mayo Score of ≥6, with a rectal bleeding subscore of ≥1 and an endoscopic subscore of ≥2. Endoscopy (colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy) must be performed within 10 days of baseline, preferably 5 to 7 days prior to baseline, to allow calculation of Total Mayo Score. The endoscopic subscore assessed by the Central Reader must be available at the baseline visit and will be used to derive the total Mayo score to determine study eligibility. 4. Active disease beyond the rectum (>15 cm of active disease from the anal verge at the screening endoscopy). 5. Must have inadequate response to, loss of response to, or intolerance to at least one conventional therapy for UC: • Steroids; • Immunosuppressants (azathioprine [AZA], 6-MP, or methotrexate [MTX]); • Anti-TNF inhibitors (eg, infliximab, adalimumab, or golimumab); • Anti-integrin inhibitors (eg, vedolizumab). Please refer to the Protocol Appendix 1 for guidance only. Local standards of care, as well as investigator assessment should be considered in any assessment. 6. Subjects currently receiving the following treatment for UC are eligible providing they have been on stable doses as described below: • Oral 5-ASA or sulfasalazine stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to baseline. If oral 5-ASA treatment has been recently discontinued, it must have been stopped for at least 2 weeks prior to baseline. • Oral corticosteroids (dose equivalent to prednisone up to 25 mg/day; budesonide up to 9 mg/day) stable dose for at least 2 weeks prior to baseline. If oral corticosteroids have been recently discontinued, they must have been stopped at least 2 weeks prior to baseline. Decreases in steroid use due to adverse events are allowed. 7. Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the subject has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study. 8. Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures. 9. Female subjects of childbearing potential (Women of child-bearing potential: WOCBP) must test negative for pregnancy at screening visit and baseline visit. 10. Female subjects considered to be of non-childbearing potential must meet at least 1 of the following criteria: a. Achieved postmenopausal status, defined as follows: cessation of regular menses for at least 12 consecutive months with no alternative pathological or physiological cause; status may be confirmed with a serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level confirming the postmenopausal state; b. Have undergone a documented hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy; c. Have medically confirmed ovarian failure. All other female subjects (including female subjects with tubal ligations) are considered to be of childbearing potential. |

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
End of trial in a Member State of the European Union is defined as the time at which it is deemed that a sufficient number of subjects have been recruited and completed the study as stated in the clinical trial application (CTA) and ethics application in the Member State. Poor recruitment (recruiting less than the anticipated number in the CTA) by a Member State is not a reason for premature termination but is considered a normal conclusion to the study in that Member State. |
