Clinical Trial Summary

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and bleeding from the lining of the rectum and colon (large intestine). The purpose of this study is to assess how safe and effective lutikizumab is in adult subjects with UC and how lutikizumab compares to adalimumab in the treatment of UC. Adverse events and changes in disease activity will be assessed. Lutikizumab is an investigational product being developed for the treatment of UC. Participants are placed in groups called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. In the Induction Period, participants will be randomized into 1 of 3 arms receiving lutikizumab Dose 1, lutikizumab Dose 2, or adalimumab. In the Maintenance Period, participants who responded to lutikizumab will be randomized into 1 of 2 arms of lutikizumab maintenance and participants who responded to adalimumab will continue to receive adalimumab. All participants who did not achieve clinical response per modified Mayo Score at the end of the Induction period will receive open label lutikizumab. Around 200 adult participants with UC will be enrolled at approximately 280 sites worldwide. In the Induction Period, participants will be randomized to receive intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) lutikizumab or SC adalimumab for 12 weeks. At the 12 week mark, participants who are on lutikizumab who have responded to treatment will be re-randomized to receive SC lutikizumab at different intervals until Week 52. Participants who are on adalimumab who are responding to treatment will continue to receive adalimumab until Week 52. Participants who do not respond to treatment will receive open-label SC lutikizumab until Week 52. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of Participants who Achieve Endoscopic Improvement	Endoscopic Improvement is defined as Mayo Endoscopic Subscore (ESS) of 0 or 1. Endoscopies were assessed by a blinded central reader and scored according to the following scale: 0 = Normal appearance of mucosa; 1 = Mild disease (erythema, decreased vascular pattern); 2 = Moderate disease (marked erythema, lack of vascular pattern, any friability, erosions); 3 = Severe disease (spontaneous bleeding, ulceration).	Week 12
Primary	Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)	An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.	Up to approximately Week 64
Secondary	Percentage of Participants who Achieve Clinical Remission Per Modified Mayo Score (mMS)	Clinical remission on the mMS is defined as Endoscopy subscore = 0 or 1, AND Rectal bleeding subscore = 0, AND Stool frequency subscore <= 1, AND not greater than baseline. The mMS is a composite score of UC disease activity based on the following 3 subscores: SFS, scored from 0 (normal number of stools) to 3 (5 or more stools more than normal); RBS, scored from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (blood alone passed); ESS, scored from 0 (normal appearance of mucosa) to 3 (severe disease [spontaneous bleeding, ulceration]). The overall mMS ranges from 0 to 9 with higher scores representing more severe disease. The number of responders is calculated based on the total number of participants and estimated response rate, rounding to a nearest whole integer.	Week 12
Secondary	Percentage of Participants who Achieve Clinical Response Per mMS	Clinical response per mMS is defined as decrease from baseline >=2 points and >=30%, PLUS a decrease in RBS >= 1 or an absolute RBS <=1. The mMS is a composite score of UC disease activity based on the following 3 subscores: SFS, scored from 0 (normal number of stools) to 3 (5 or more stools more than normal); RBS, scored from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (blood alone passed); ESS, scored from 0 (normal appearance of mucosa) to 3 (severe disease [spontaneous bleeding, ulceration]). The overall mMS ranges from 0 to 9 with higher scores representing more severe disease. The number of responders is calculated based on the total number of participants and estimated response rate, rounding to a nearest whole integer.	Week 12
Secondary	Percentage of Participants who Achieve Endoscopic Remission	Endoscopic remission is defined as Mayo Endoscopic Subscore (ESS) of 0. Endoscopies were assessed by a blinded central reader and scored according to the following scale: 0 = Normal appearance of mucosa; 1 = Mild disease (erythema, decreased vascular pattern); 2 = Moderate disease (marked erythema, lack of vascular pattern, any friability, erosions); 3 = Severe disease (spontaneous bleeding, ulceration).	Week 12
