Brief Summary
This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, parallel-grouped, placebo-controlled, multicenter study will investigate the efficacy and safety of etrolizumab in maintenance of remission in participants with moderately to severely active UC who are naive to TNF inhibitors and refractory to or intolerant of prior immunosuppressant and/or corticosteroid treatment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Maintenance Phase: Percentage of Participants in Remission at Week 62 Among Randomized Participants With a Clinical Response at Week 10, as Determined by the Mayo Clinic Score (MCS)
MCS is a composite of 4 assessments, each rated from 0-3: stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopy, and physician's global assessment. Clinical Response is MCS with ≥3-point decrease and 30% reduction from baseline as well as ≥1-point decrease in rectal bleeding subscore or an absolute rectal bleeding score of 0 or 1. Remission is MCS ≤2 with individual subscores ≤1 and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0.

Study Arms (3)
Open-Label Induction Phase: Etrolizumab
EXPERIMENTALAll participants will receive treatment with open-label etrolizumab 105 milligrams (mg) subcutaneous (SC) injection once every 4 weeks (Q4W) up to Week 10.
Double-Blind Maintenance Phase: Etrolizumab
EXPERIMENTALParticipants who achieved a clinical response at Week 10 during the induction phase and randomized to this arm for the double-blind maintenance phase will receive etrolizumab 105 mg SC injection Q4W from Week 12 up to Week 62.
Double-Blind Maintenance Phase: Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORParticipants who achieved a clinical response at Week 10 during the induction phase and randomized to this arm for the double-blind maintenance phase will receive placebo (matched to etrolizumab) SC injection Q4W from Week 12 up to Week 62.
Interventions
Participants will receive 105 mg etrolizumab SC injection Q4W.
Participants will receive placebo (matched to etrolizumab) SC injection Q4W.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (UC) established at least 3 months prior to Day 1 by clinical and endoscopic evidence
- Moderately to severely active UC as determined by an MCS of 6-12 with an endoscopic subscore greater than or equal to (≥)2 as determined by the central reading procedure (endoscopy to be performed 4-16 days prior to Day 1), a rectal bleeding subscore ≥1, and a stool frequency subscore ≥1 during the screening period (prior to Day 1)
- Evidence of UC extending a minimum of 20 centimeters (cm) from the anal verge as determined by baseline endoscopy (flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy) performed during screening, 4-16 days prior to Day 1
- Naive to treatment with any anti-TNF therapy
- Participants must have had an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to prior corticosteroid and/or immunosuppressant treatment
- Background regimen for UC may include oral 5-aminosalicylate (5-ASA), oral corticosteroids, budesonide, probiotics, azathioprine (AZA), 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), or methotrexate (MTX) if doses have been stable during the screening period
- Use of highly effective contraception
- Must have received a colonoscopy within the past year or be willing to undergo a colonoscopy in lieu of a flexible sigmoidoscopy at screening
You may not qualify if:
- A history of or current conditions and diseases affecting the digestive tract, such as indeterminate colitis, suspicion of ischemic colitis, radiation colitis, or microscopic colitis, Crohn's disease, fistulas or abdominal abscesses, colonic mucosal dysplasia, intestinal obstruction, toxic megacolon, or unremoved adenomatous colonic polyps
- Prior or planned surgery for UC
- Past or present ileostomy or colostomy
- Any prior treatment with etrolizumab or other anti-integrin agents (including natalizumab, vedolizumab, and efalizumab) as stated in the protocol
- Any prior treatment with anti-adhesion molecules (such as mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule \[MAdCAM-1\])
- Any prior treatment with rituximab
- Any treatment with tofacitinib during screening
- Cogenital or acquired immune deficiency, chronic hepatitis B or C infection, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive, or history of tuberculosis (active or latent)
- Evidence of or treatment for Clostridium difficile within 60 days prior to Day 1 or other intestinal pathogens within 30 days prior to Day 1
- History of recurrent opportunistic infections and/or severe disseminated viral infections
- History of organ transplant
- Any major episode of infection requiring treatment with intravenous (IV) antibiotics within 8 weeks prior to screening or oral antibiotics within 4 weeks prior to screening
- Received a live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to Day 1
