Overview

About this study

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Upadacitinib compared to placebo in inducing clinical remission (per Adapted Mayo score) in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female participants ≥ 18 and ≤ 75 years of age at Baseline.
  • Diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) for 90 days or greater prior to Baseline, confirmed by colonoscopy during the Screening Period, with exclusion of current infection, colonic dysplasia and/or malignancy. Appropriate documentation of biopsy results consistent with the diagnosis of UC, in the assessment of the Investigator, must be available.
  • Active UC with an Adapted Mayo score of 5 to 9 points and endoscopic subscore of 2 to 3.
  • Demonstrated an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to at lease one of the following treatments including, oral aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and/or biologic therapies.
    • Note: Participants who have had inadequate response, loss of response to conventional therapy but have not failed biologic therapy (Non-bio-IR) and have received a prior biologic for up to 1 year may be enrolled, however they must have discontinued the biologic for reasons other than inadequate response or intolerance (e.g., change of insurance, well controlled disease), and must meet criteria for inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance as defined above.

  • Received cyclosporine, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, or thalidomide within 30 days prior to Baseline.
  • Participant who received azathioprine or 6-mercaptipurine (6-MP) within 10 days of Baseline.
  • Received intravenous corticosteroids within 14 days prior to Screening or during the Screening Period.
