Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Proportion of Subjects With Remission	The proportion of subjects with remission was defined by the Clinical and Endoscopic Response Score: 0 for rectal bleeding; 0 or 1 with at least 1 point decrease from baseline for stool frequency; 0 or 1 for endoscopic score.; The Clinical and Endoscopic Response Score ranged between 0-9, higher scores indicating greater disease severity. This score had two components: Clinical Response which assessed subject's symptoms and ranged between 0-6, and Endoscopic Response which assessed objective evidence of inflammation and ranged between 0-3.; Further, the Clinical Response component included two subscales: stool frequency and rectal bleeding (each ranged between 0-3 each) obtained from subjects' daily records. The Endoscopic Response component had one subscale: flexible sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy (ranging between 0-3).	At Week 8
Secondary	Proportion of Subjects With Remission in the Primary Endpoint and the Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) Score of =1 (Modified Mayo Score)	The Modified Mayo score was calculated as the sum of the Clinical and Endoscopic Response Score (Range: 0-9, and the standard PGA score (range: 0-3; normal [score=0], mild disease [score=1], moderate disease [score=2], severe disease [score=3]).; The statistical test was to be conducted only if the primary analysis was significant.	At Week 8
Secondary	Time to Cessation of Rectal Bleeding	Defined as time in days from randomization to the first day of 3 consecutive days with a rectal bleeding score of 0, based on subject's daily diary.; The statistical test was to be conducted only if the primary analysis was significant.	Up to Week 8
Secondary	The Proportion of Subjects With Endoscopic Improvement	Defined as an Endoscopic Response Score of 0 or 1, with at least a 1 point reduction from baseline in the endoscopic score at Week 8.	At Week 8
Secondary	The Proportion of Subjects in Clinical Remission at Weeks 2, 4, and 8	Defined as a score of 0 for rectal bleeding and 0 or 1 with at least 1 point decrease from baseline for stool frequency in the Clinical Response Score subset.	At Week 2, 4, and 8
Secondary	Time to Normal Stool Pattern	Defined as time in days from randomization to the first day of 3 consecutive days with a stool frequency score of 0, based on subject daily diary.	Up to Week 8
Secondary	The Change From Baseline in Rectal Bleeding Score at Weeks 2, 4, and 8	Defined as change from baseline in rectal bleeding score at Week 2, 4, and 8 based on subject daily diary. Rectal Bleeding Score is graded 0-3, where 0 is best.	From baseline to Week 2, 4, and 8
Secondary	The Change From Baseline in Serum C-reactive Protein (CRP) Levels at Weeks 2, 4, and 8	The adjusted mean changes in serum CRP levels from baseline and their difference between treatment groups are presented for each time point.	From baseline to Week 2, 4, and 8
Secondary	The Change From Baseline in Fecal Calprotectin Levels at Week 8	The adjusted mean change from baseline in fecal calprotectin levels at Week 8 are presented.	From baseline to Week 8
Secondary	The Change From Baseline in Health Related Quality of Life (QoL) Scores	The change from baseline to Week 2, 4, and 8 in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) scores.; The adjusted changes from baseline and their differences between treatment groups are presented.; The IBDQ is an instrument used to assess quality of life in adult patients with UC.; Subjects were asked to recall symptoms and QoL from last two weeks and to rate each item on a 7- point Likert score (higher scores equate to higher QoL).	From baseline to Week 2, 4, and 8
Secondary	Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events	An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject taking part in a clinical trial.; A 'treatment-emergent AE (TEAE)' is defined as an AE which occurs in the time interval from initial dosing (investigational medicinal product [IMP] intake) to the end of treatment visit.; Proportion of subjects with any TEAE (serious or non-serious) are presented.	Up to Week 16
Secondary	Severity of Adverse Events	The proportion of subjects with intensity of AEs (classified as mild, moderate or severe) are presented.	Up to Week 16
Secondary	Proportion of Subject With Abnormal Laboratory Values (Hematology)	Proportion of subjects with markedly abnormal changes from baseline in hematology values are presented.; >= greater than equal to; <= less than equal to.	Up to Week 16
Secondary	Proportion of Subjects With Abnormal Laboratory Values (Coagulation)	Proportion of subjects with markedly abnormal changes from baseline values in coagulation laboratory values are presented.; INR= International normalized ratio.	Up to Week 16
Secondary	Proportion of Subjects With Abnormal Laboratory Values (Serum Chemistry)	Proportion of subjects with markedly abnormal changes in serum chemistry laboratory values are presented.; ALT= Alanine aminotransferase; AST= Aspartate aminotransferase; BUN= Blood urea nitrogen; GGT= Gamma glutamyl transferase.	Up to Week 16
