About this study
Official title: A Phase III, Multicenter, Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Subcutaneous Induction Therapy With Afimkibart in Patients With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous induction with afimkibart in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).
- Being tested
- Afimkibart, Placebo
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
AfimkibartDrug
Also called PF-06480605, RVT-3101, RO7790121
Afimkibart will be administered as SC injection.
PlaceboDrug
Placebo will be administered as SC injection.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Afimkibart | Experimental | Participants will receive afimkibart administered as subcutaneous (SC) injection. Receives: Drug: Afimkibart |
| Placebo | Placebo comparator | Participants will receive placebo adminsitered as SC injection. Receives: Drug: Placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission
Measured: At Week 12
Secondary outcomes (17)
Change From Baseline in Stool Frequency Subscore (SFS)
The Stool Frequency Subscore (SFS) is measured on a scale from 0 (normal number of stools) to 3 (5 or more stools than normal)
Measured: From Baseline up to Week 12
Change From Baseline in Rectal Bleeding Subscore (RBS)
The Rectal Bleeding Subscore (RBS) is measured on a scale from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (blood alone passed)
Measured: From Baseline up to Week 12
Percentage of Participants With Symptomatic Response
Measured: At Week 4
Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Improvement
Measured: At Week 12 and Week 24
Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Remission
Measured: At Week 12 and Week 24
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response
Measured: At Week 12
Percentage of Participants With Histologic-Endoscopic Mucosal Improvement
Measured: At Week 12 and Week 24
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission
Measured: At Week 24
Percentage of Participants With Maintenance of Remission
Measured: At Week 12 and Week 24
Percentage of Participants With Histologic Improvement
Measured: At Week 24
Change From Baseline in Bowel Urgency
Bowel urgency will be assessed using two self-reported items over the past 24 hours: presence of bowel urgency (Yes/No) and severity on an 11-point numerical rating scale from 0 (no urgency) to 10 (worst possible urgency)
Measured: From Baseline through Week 12 and Week 24
Change From Baseline in Abdominal Pain
Abdominal pain will be assessed using two self-reported items over the past 24 hours: presence of abdominal pain (Yes/No) and severity on an 11-point numerical rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain)
Measured: From Baseline through Week 12 and Week 24
Change From Baseline in Fatigue
Change in fatigue will be assessed by Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue scale. FACIT-Fatigue is a 13-item self-reported assessment of the level and impact of fatigue. The overall FACIT-Fatigue score ranges between 0 and 52, with higher scores associated with better quality of life concerns related to fatigue
Measured: From Baseline through Week 12 and Week 24
Change From Baseline in Health-Related Quality of Life
Change in health-related quality of life will be assessed by Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) score. IBDQ is a 32-item self-reported assessment of health-related quality of life in participants with inflammatory bowel disease. The overall IBDQ score ranges from 32 to 224, with higher scores associated with better health-related quality of life
Measured: From Baseline through Week 12 and Week 24
Change From Baseline in Overall UC Symptoms
Change in overall UC symptoms will be assessed by Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC). PGIC measures overall change in ulcerative colitis symptoms from "Much better" to "Much worse"
Measured: Baseline, Week 2, Week 12 and Week 24
Change From Baseline in Overall Severity in UC Symptoms
Change in overall severity of UC symptoms will be assessed by Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGIS). PGIS measures severity of ulcerative colitis symptoms from "None" to "Very severe"
Measured: Baseline, Week 2, Week 12 and Week 24
Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events (AEs)
Measured: From Baseline up to approximately 42 Weeks
