Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Active Phase: Proportion of Active Subjects Achieving Overall Improvement

    Overall improvement is defined as either a complete remission or a clinical response to therapy as measured by the Ulcerative Colitis Disease Activity Index (UCDAI). Complete remission is defined as: i) a score of 0 or 1 for stool frequency; ii) a score of 0 for rectal bleeding; iii) a score of 0 for endoscopy findings and iv) a Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) score of 0 or 1. A clinical response to therapy in the active disease phase is defined as i) improvement in the baseline PGA score; ii) improvement in endoscopy findings and in at least one other clinical assessment (stool frequency, rectal bleeding); iii) no worsening in any other clinical assessment; iv) a decrease of 2 or more points on the UCDAI score.

    From baseline to week 8

  • Maintenance Phase: Proportion of Subjects Experiencing Relapse

    Relapse is defined as a UCDAI score of at least 3 and a score of at least 1 for endoscopy

    Up to week 24
