Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Adverse Drug Reactions and Serious Adverse Drug ReactionsUp to Week 52

Adverse drug reactions are defined as adverse events for which the causal relation with Humira cannot be ruled out. Serious adverse drug reactions are adverse drug reaction(s) which have been assessed to be serious based on company criteria.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in CRP Levels Over TimeWeeks 4, 8, 24, 52 of study drug administration, and at study drug discontinuation (up to Week 52)
Change From Baseline in Mayo Score Over TimeWeeks 24, 52, at study drug discontinuation (up to Week 52), and at final assessment (up to Week 52)

The Mayo score ranges from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 12 (severe disease) and is calculated as the sum of 4 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.

Change From Baseline in Partial Mayo Score Over TimeWeeks 4, 8, 16, 24, 52, when discontinued (up to Week 52), at final assessment (up to Week 52)

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.

Mayo Endoscopic Sub-Score Over TimeWeeks 24, 52, at study drug discontinuation (up to Week 52), and at final assessment (up to Week 52)

The endoscopist evaluated each observed segment of the colon (rectum, sigmoid, descending colon, transverse colon, ascending colon/cecum) by using the classification as follows: 0=Normal or inactive disease; 1=Mild disease (erythema, decreased vascular pattern, mild friability); 2=Moderate disease (marked erythema, absent vascular pattern, friability, erosions); 3=Severe disease (spontaneous bleeding, ulceration).
