研究概览
简要总结
The study is a parallel-group, active comparator, multicenter study in subjects with moderate to severe active UC. It is a double-blind study wherein subjects and investigators will be blinded to the Investigational Product.
The study consists of a screening period (4 weeks), an active period (46 Weeks), and an end-of-study (EoS) visit (Week 52). The study duration will be up to 56 weeks including a 4-week screening period. The EoS visit will be at Week 52.
The Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will be an independent committee that will review and analyze on a regular basis, safety and efficacy data throughout the study.

入选标准
- •Male or female subjects aged 18 to 80 years inclusive at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF) who are voluntarily able to give informed consent.
- •Female subjects are eligible to participate if they are not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least ONE of the following conditions applies: a. Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP), defined as:.
- •Surgically sterile (documented hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy, as confirmed by review of the subject’s medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview), or.
- •Postmenopausal (defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause). A high follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient). Female subjects on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use 1 of the nonestrogen hormonal highly effective contraception methods from screening (signing the ICF) until at least 15 weeks after IP administration if they want to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of postmenopausal status before study enrollment. b. Is a WOCBP who agrees to use a highly effective method of contraception consistently and correctly from screening (signing the ICF) until at least 15 weeks after the last IP administration.
- •Nonsterilized male subjects with female partners of childbearing potential are eligible to participate if they agree to 1 of the following from screening (signing the ICF) until at least 15 weeks after IP administration: a. Are abstinent from penile-vaginal intercourse as their usual and preferred lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent. b. Agree to use a male condom and have their partner use a contraceptive method with a failure rate of less than 1% per year when having penile vaginal intercourse with a WOCBP who is not currently pregnant. c. Male subjects with a pregnant or breastfeeding partner must agree to remain abstinent from penile-vaginal intercourse or use a male condom during each episode of penile penetration. d. In addition, male subjects must refrain from donating sperm from screening (signing the ICF) until at least 15 weeks after IP administration.
- •Diagnosis of UC established at least 3 months prior to baseline endoscopy by clinical and endoscopic evidence and corroborated by a histopathology report at Baseline.
- •Moderately to severely active UC as determined by a complete Mayo Score of 6 to 12 with an endoscopic subscore greater than or equal to 2 within 14 days prior to the first dose of IP.
- •Evidence of UC extending proximal to the rectum (greater than or equal to 15 cm from the anal verge) confirmed by endoscopy at least 3 months prior to baseline endoscopy.
- •Subjects with extensive colitis or pancolitis of more than or equal to 8 years duration or left sided colitis of more than or equal to 12 years duration must have documented evidence that a surveillance colonoscopy was performed within 12 months of the initial screening visit (may be performed during screening).
- •Subjects with a family history of colorectal cancer, personal history of increased colorectal cancer risk, age more than or equal to 50 years, or another known risk factor must be up to date on colorectal cancer surveillance (may be performed during screening).
- •Demonstrated, over the previous 5-year period, an inadequate response to, loss of response to, or intolerance of at least 1 of the following agents as defined below: a. Corticosteroids.
- •Signs and symptoms of persistently active disease despite a history of at least one 4-week induction regimen that included a dose equivalent to prednisone 30 mg daily orally for 2 weeks or IV for 1 week OR.
- •Two failed attempts to taper corticosteroids to below a dose equivalent to prednisone 10 mg daily orally OR.
- •History of intolerance of corticosteroids (including, but not limited to Cushing’s syndrome, osteopenia/osteoporosis, hyperglycemia, insomnia, infection). b. Immunomodulators.
- •Signs and symptoms of persistently active disease despite a history of at least one 8-week regimen of oral azathioprine (greater than or equal to 1.5 mg/kg) or 6 mercaptopurine (greater than or equal to 0.75 mg/kg) OR.
- •History of intolerance of at least one immunomodulator (including, but not limited to, nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, pancreatitis, liver function tests [LFT] abnormalities, lymphopenia, thiopurine methyltransferase [TPMT] genetic mutation, infection).
- •May be receiving a therapeutic dose of the following drugs: a. Oral 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) compounds provided that the dose has been stable for the 2 weeks immediately prior to baseline endoscopy. b. Oral corticosteroid therapy (prednisone at a stable dose less than or equal to 20 mg/day, or equivalent steroid) provided that the dose has been stable for 2 weeks prior to baseline endoscopy and must be stable for atleast two weeks after dosing. c. Probiotics (eg, Culturelle, Saccharomyces boulardii) provided that the dose has been stable for the 2 weeks immediately prior to baseline endoscopy. d. Antidiarrheals at a stable dose (eg, loperamide, diphenoxylate with atropine) for control of chronic diarrhea. e. Azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine provided that the dose has been stable for the 8 weeks immediately prior to baseline endoscopy. Initiation or increase in dose leads to subject discontinuation.
