What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission
Clinical remission was based on the modified Mayo score (MMS). The MMS is a composite score of 3 assessments consisting of participant-reported symptoms using daily electronic (e)-diary and centrally read endoscopy: stool frequency (SF), rectal bleeding (RB) and endoscopic score (ES). Clinical remission was defined as SF sub-score = 0 (or = 1 with a greater than or equal to [>=] 1-point decrease from Baseline), RB sub-score = 0, and ES less than or equal to (<=) 1 (excluding friability). Each component sub-score ranged from 0 to 3 and total score range of the MMS was from 0 to 9, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.
Measured: Week 12
Secondary outcomes (9)
Percentage of Participants Achieving Endoscopic Improvement
Endoscopic improvement was defined as an ES <= 1 (excluding friability). The ES ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = normal/inactive disease and 3 = severe disease); higher score indicated more severe disease.
Measured: Week 12
Percentage of Participants Achieving Symptomatic Remission
Symptomatic remission was defined as an SF sub-score = 0 (or = 1 with a >= 1 point decrease from Baseline) and RB sub-score = 0. The SF sub-score ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = normal number of stools and 3 = at least 5 stools more than normal) and RB sub-score ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = no blood and 3 = blood alone passes). Higher scores indicated more severe disease.
Measured: Week 12
Percentage of Participants With Mucosal Healing
Mucosal healing was defined as an ES <= 1 (excluding friability) with histologic remission measured by a Geboes Index score less than [<] 2.0). The ES ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = normal/inactive disease and 3 = severe disease). The Geboes score grading system, was a validated score for evaluating histologic disease activity in UC as follows: grade 0 = structural and architectural changes; grade 1 = chronic inflammatory infiltrate; grade 2 = lamina propria neutrophils and eosinophils; grade 3 = neutrophils in the epithelium; grade 4 = crypt destruction; grade 5 = erosions or ulceration. A higher Geboes score indicated more severe disease.
Measured: Week 12
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Response
Clinical response was based on the MMS which is a composite score of 3 assessments: SF, RB and ES. Clinical response was defined as a >= 2-point and >= 30 percent (%) decrease from Baseline MMS, and a >= 1-point decrease from Baseline in RB sub-score or an absolute RB sub-score <= 1. Each component sub-score ranged from 0 to 3 and total score range of the MMS was from 0 to 9, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.
Measured: Week 12
Percentage of Participants Achieving Endoscopic Normalization
Endoscopic normalization was defined as an ES = 0. The ES ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0= normal/inactive disease and 3= severe disease); higher score indicated more severe disease.
Measured: Week 12
Percentage of Participants Achieving Symptomatic Remission at Weeks 2, 4 and 8
Symptomatic remission was defined as an SF sub-score = 0 (or = 1 with a >= 1 point decrease from Baseline) and RB sub-score = 0. The SF sub-score ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = normal number of stools and 3 = at least 5 stools more than normal) and RB sub-score ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = no blood and 3 = blood alone passes). Higher scores indicated more severe disease.
Measured: Weeks 2, 4 and 8
Percentage of Participants Achieving Complete Symptomatic Remission
Complete symptomatic remission was defined as an SF sub-score = 0 and RB sub-score = 0. The SF sub-score ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = normal number of stools and 3 = at least 5 stools more than normal) and RB sub-score ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = no blood and 3 = blood alone passes). Higher scores indicated more severe disease.
Measured: Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12
Percentage of Participants Achieving Non-invasive Clinical Response
Non-invasive clinical response was defined as a >= 30% decrease from Baseline in composite RB and SF sub-scores, and a >= 1 point decrease from Baseline in RB sub-score or RB sub-score <= 1. The SF subscore ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = normal number of stools and 3 = at least 5 stools more than normal) and RB sub-score ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = no blood and 3 = blood alone passes). The composite RB and SF score range was from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.
Measured: Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12
Percentage of Participants Achieving Symptomatic Response
Symptomatic response was defined as a >= 30% decrease from Baseline in composite RB and SF score. The SF sub-score ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0= normal number of stools and 3= at least 5 stools more than normal) and RB sub-score ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0= no blood and 3= blood alone passes). The composite RB and SF score range was from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.
Measured: Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission
Time frame: Week 12
Clinical remission was based on the modified Mayo score (MMS). The MMS is a composite score of 3 assessments consisting of participant-reported symptoms using daily electronic (e)-diary and centrally read endoscopy: stool frequency (SF), rectal bleeding (RB) and endoscopic score (ES). Clinical remission was defined as SF sub-score = 0 (or = 1 with a greater than or equal to [>=] 1-point decrease from Baseline), RB sub-score = 0, and ES less than or equal to (<=) 1 (excluding friability). Each component sub-score ranged from 0 to 3 and total score range of the MMS was from 0 to 9, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Etrasimod in people with Ulcerative Colitis, run by Arena Pharmaceuticals at 407 sites in 41 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 407 sites in United States, Japan, Poland, Russia, Italy and 36 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Dec 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission (time frame: Week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03996369, which also lists 20 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Dec 2022.
