Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mayo Score: Change From Baseline Over TimeBaseline (Week 0), Weeks 48, 96, 144, 192, 240, 292, 340, 388

The Mayo score ranges from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 12 (severe disease) and is calculated as the sum of 3 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopy, and physician's global assessment \[PGA\]), each of which ranges from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe disease). A negative change in Mayo score indicates improvement.

Partial Mayo Score: Change From Baseline Over TimeBaseline (Week 0), Weeks 48, 96, 144, 192, 240, 292, 340, 388

The Partial Mayo score (Mayo score without endoscopy) ranges from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 9 (severe disease) and is calculated as the sum of 3 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding and physician's global assessment \[PGA\]), each of which ranges from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe disease). A negative change in Partial Mayo score indicates improvement.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mayo Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Severity Subscore: Change From Baseline Over TimeBaseline (Week 0), Weeks 48, 96, 144, 192, 240, 292, 340, 388

The Mayo Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Severity subscore ranges from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe disease). A negative change in Mayo Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Severity subscore indicates improvement.

36-Item Short Form Health Survey Version 2 (SF-36) Physical Component Score: Change From Baseline Over TimeBaseline (Week 0), Weeks 48, 96, 144, 192, 240, 292, 340, 388

The SF-36 is a health-related survey that assesses participant's quality of life and consists of 36 questions covering 8 health domains: physical functioning, bodily pain, role limitations due to physical problems and emotional problems, general health, mental health, social functioning, vitality, and 2 component scores (mental \[MCS\] and physical \[PCS\]). MCS consisted of social functioning, vitality, mental health, and role-emotional scales. PCS consisted of physical functioning, bodily pain, role-physical, and general health scales. Each domain is scored by summing the individual items and transforming the scores into a 0 (poorest health) to 100 (best health) scale with higher scores indicating better health status or functioning.

Work Productivity and Activity Impairment: General Health Version 2.0 (WPAI:GH) Work Time Missed Because of Ulcerative Colitis: Change From Baseline Over TimeBaseline (Week 0), Weeks 48, 96, 144, 192, 240, 292, 340, 388

The WPAI:GH questionnaire was used to assess work and activity impairment due to symptoms of ulcerative colitis in the last 7 days. The self-administered questionnaire measures the effect of the subject's health problems on work and daily activities in the previous week, specifically, the number of hours missed from work due to health problems, how much the subject's health problems affected work productivity, and how much the subject's health problems affected regular activities. Low scores indicate little or no impact of health problems on work and activities, and a negative change in the WPAI score indicates improvement.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ): Change From Baseline Over TimeBaseline (Week 0), Weeks 48, 96, 144, 192, 240, 292, 340, 388

The IBDQ is a 32-item questionnaire that assesses how the subject felt during the 2 weeks before the measurement time point. Questions are related to symptoms the subject might have had as a result of UC, how the subject felt in general, how the subject's mood was, and social and work problems the subject might have that resulted from UC. An increase in IBDQ score indicates less impact of UC on the subject's life. The responses to each question range from 1 (significant impairment) to 7 (no impairment), with the total score ranging from 32 (very poor) to 224 (perfect health-related quality of life).

WPAI:GH Overall Work Impairment: Change From Baseline Over TimeBaseline (Week 0), Weeks 48, 96, 144, 192, 240, 292, 340, 388

The self-administered questionnaire measures the effect of the subject's health problems on work and daily activities in the previous week, specifically, the number of hours missed from work due to health problems, how much the subject's health problems affected work productivity, and how much the subject's health problems affected regular activities. Low scores indicate little or no impact of health problems on work and activities, and a negative change in the WPAI score indicates improvement.

Number of Participants With Adverse EventsFrom first dose of study drug until 70 days after the last dose of study drug (up to 398 weeks)

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either probably related, possibly related, probably not related or not related. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent events (TEAEs/TESAEs) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity after the first dose of study drug. For more details on adverse events please see the Adverse Event section.
