Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Colitis, Ulcerative
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03596645
Lead Sponsor
Janssen Research & Development, LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy of golimumab in inducing clinical remission as assessed by the Mayo score, in pediatric participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). In addition, the safety profile of golimumab, in pediatric participants with moderately to severely active UC will be assessed.

GroupInterventionDescription
Group 1: GolimumabGolimumabParticipants will receive subcutaneous (SC) golimumab through Week 50. Doses will be based on body surface area. Following the Week 54 evaluations (end of main pivotal study) participants who are benefiting from golimumab at the discretion of the investigator may continue to receive SC golimumab in an extension period until end of study.
Group 2: InfliximabInfliximabParticipants will receive infliximab intravenous (IV) through Week 46. Doses will be based on body weight. After the Week 54 evaluations, participants receiving infliximab will be withdrawn from study participation and transition to local standard of care which may include continued commercially available infliximab at the discretion of their physician.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinical Remission at Week 6 as Assessed by the Mayo ScoreAt Week 6

Clinical remission is defined as a Mayo score less than or equal to (\<=) 2 points, with no individual sub score greater than (\>) 1. The Mayo score consists of 4 sub scores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopy findings, and physician's global assessment), each of which is rated on a scale from 0 to 3, indicating normal to severe activity. The total score is calculated as the sum of the 4 sub scores and values range from 0 to 12. A score of 3 to 5 points indicates mildly active disease; a score of 6 to 10 indicates moderately active disease; and a score of 11 to 12 indicates severe disease.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinical Remission at Week 54 as Assessed by the Mayo scoreAt Week 54

Clinical remission is defined as a Mayo score \<=2 points, with no individual subscore \>1 (based on Mayo endoscopy subscore assigned by the local endoscopist). The Mayo score consists of 4 sub scores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopy findings, and physician's global assessment), each of which is rated on a scale from 0 to 3, indicating normal to severe activity. The total score is calculated as the sum of the 4 sub scores and values range from 0 to 12. A score of 3 to 5 points indicates mildly active disease; a score of 6 to 10 indicates moderately active disease; and a score of 11 to 12 indicates severe disease.

Clinical Remission at Week 54 as Assessed by the Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index Score (PUCAI) ScoreAt Week 54

Clinical remission is defined as a PUCAI score less than (\<)10. The PUCAI is a noninvasive measure of UC disease activity. It comprises 6 scales and total score ranges between 0 and 85 points. The scales are: abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, stool consistency, number of stools, nocturnal bowel movement, and activity level. The PUCAI total score is calculated as the sum of the 6 subscores. Higher scores indicate a more severe disease.

Clinical Remission at Week 6 as Assessed by the PUCAI ScoreAt Week 6

Clinical remission is defined as a PUCAI score \<10. The PUCAI is a noninvasive measure of ulcerative colitis (UC) disease activity. It comprises 6 scales and total score ranges between 0 and 85 points. The scales are: abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, stool consistency, number of stools, nocturnal bowel movement, and activity level. The PUCAI total score is calculated as the sum of the 6 subscores. Higher scores indicate a more severe disease.

Symptomatic Remission at Week 54At Week 54

Symptomatic remission is defined as Mayo stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0.

Endoscopic Healing at Week 6At Week 6

Endoscopic healing is defined as an endoscopy subscore of the Mayo score of 0 (normal or inactive disease) or 1 (mild disease).

Clinical Response at Week 6 as Assessed by the Mayo ScoreAt Week 6

Clinical response is defined as a decrease from baseline in the Mayo score of greater than or equal to (\>=)30 percent (%) and \>=3 points, with either a decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore of \>=1 or a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1. The Mayo score consists of 4 sub scores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopy findings, and physician's global assessment), each of which is rated on a scale from 0 to 3, indicating normal to severe activity. The total score is calculated as the sum of the 4 sub scores and values range from 0 to 12. A score of 3 to 5 points indicates mildly active disease; a score of 6 to 10 indicates moderately active disease; and a score of 11 to 12 indicates severe disease.

Endoscopic Healing at Week 54At Week 54

Endoscopic healing is defined as an endoscopy subscore of the Mayo score of 0 (normal or active disease) or 1 (mild disease).

Clinical Remission at Week 54 Assessed by the Mayo score for Participants who are in Clinical Remission at Week 6At Week 54

Clinical remission is defined as a Mayo score \<=2 points, with no individual subscore \>1 (based on Mayo endoscopy subscore assigned by the local endoscopist). The Mayo score consists of 4 sub scores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopy findings, and physician's global assessment), each of which is rated on a scale from 0 to 3, indicating normal to severe activity. The total score is calculated as the sum of the 4 sub scores and values range from 0 to 12. A score of 3 to 5 points indicates mildly active disease; a score of 6 to 10 indicates moderately active disease; and a score of 11 to 12 indicates severe disease.

Number of Participants who were not Receiving Corticosteroids for At least 12 Weeks Prior to Week 54 and in Clinical Remission at Week 54At Week 54

Number of participants who were not receiving corticosteroids for at least 12 Weeks prior to Week 54 and in clinical remission at Week 54 will be reported.
