Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission at Week 12
Clinical remission was defined as modified Mayo Score (mMS) of ≤ 2, including stool frequency subscore ≤ 1, rectal bleeding subscore=0, \& endoscopy subscore ≤ 1 (score of 1 modified to exclude friability). MMS is a composite of 3 Mayo Score assessments, each scored on a scale from 0-3. The total score ranges from 0-9, with higher scores indicating more severe disease: stool frequency (0=Normal number of stools, 1=1-2 more stools than normal, 2=3-4 more stools than normal, 3=5 or more stools than normal); rectal bleeding (0=No blood seen or no bowel movement, 1=Stool with streaks of blood, 2=Stool with more than streaks of blood, 3=Blood alone passed); centrally read endoscopy (0=Normal appearance of mucosa, 1=Mild disease \[erythema, decreased vascular pattern\], 2=Moderate disease \[marked erythema, absent vascular pattern, friability, erosions\], 3=Severe disease \[spontaneous bleeding, ulceration\]). Percentages have been rounded off.
