The MMS is a composite score of UC disease activity on a scale of increasing severity from 0-9, calculated by summing three subscores: Endoscopic subscore (ES), scored on a scale of increasing severity from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 3 (severe disease, such as spontaneous bleeding or ulceration); Stool frequency subscore (SFS), scored on a scale of increasing frequency from 0 (normal number of stools) to 3 (≥5 stools more than normal per day for the participant); and rectal bleeding subscore (RBS), scored on a scale of increasing severity from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (blood alone passed). Clinical Remission is defined as an ES of 0 or 1 with no friability, RBS of 0, and SFS of 0 or 1 and not greater than the baseline SFS.
