Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Induction Phase: Cohort 1: Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission at Week 14
Week 14

Clinical remission is defined as liquid/soft stool frequency (SF) mean daily score less than or equal (≤)3 and abdominal pain mean daily score ≤1, with no worsening in either subscore compared to baseline, averaged over the 7 days prior to visit.

Induction Phase: Cohort 2 and 3: Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission at Week 14
Week 14

Clinical remission is defined as liquid/soft stool frequency (SF) mean daily score less than or equal (≤)3 and abdominal pain mean daily score ≤1, with no worsening in either subscore compared to baseline, averaged over the 7 days prior to visit.

Induction Phase: Cohort 1: Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Improvement at Week 14
Week 14

Endoscopic improvement is defined as 50 percent (%) reduction from baseline in Simplified Endoscopic Index for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) score.

Induction Phase: Cohort 2 and 3: Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Improvement at Week 14
Week 14

Endoscopic improvement is defined as 50 percent (%) reduction from baseline in Simplified Endoscopic Index for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) score.

Maintenance Phase: Percentage of Participants With Clinical Remission at Week 66
Baseline and Week 66

Clinical remission is defined as SF mean daily score ≤3 and abdominal pain mean daily score ≤1, with no worsening in either subscore compared to baseline, averaged over the 7 days prior to visit. Maintenance phase participants were evaluated.

Maintenance Phase: Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Improvement at Week 66
Week 66

Endoscopic improvement is defined as 50% reduction from baseline in SES-CD score. Maintenance phase participants were evaluated.

Percentage of Participants With Both Clinical Response at Week 10 and Clinical Remission at Week 54, as Determined by the Mayo Clinic Score (MCS)
Week 10, Week 54

Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) is a composite of 4 assessments, each rated from 0-3: stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopy, and physician's global assessment. Higher scores indicate more severe disease. Clinical Response is MCS with ≥3-point decrease and 30% reduction from baseline as well as ≥1-point decrease in rectal bleeding subscore or an absolute rectal bleeding score of 0 or 1. Clinical Remission is MCS ≤2 with individual subscores ≤1.

Percentage of Participants in Remission at Week 10 With Etrolizumab Compared With Placebo, as Determined by the Mayo Clinic Score (MCS), GA28949 Population
Week 10

The Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) ranges from 0 to 12 and is a composite of the four following assessments of disease activity: stool frequency subscore, rectal bleeding subscore, endoscopy subscore, and physician's global assessment (PGA) subscore. Each of the four assessments was rated with a score from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Remission was defined as MCS less than or equal to (≤)2 with individual subscores ≤1 and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0. Participants were also classified as non-remitters if Week 10 assessments were missing or if they had received permitted/prohibited rescue therapy prior to assessment. Participants were stratified by concomitant treatment with corticosteroids or immunosuppressants at randomization and disease activity measured during screening (MCS ≤9/MCS ≥10); the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test adjusted the difference in remission rates and associated 95% confidence interval for the stratification factors.

Week 10

The Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) ranges from 0 to 12 and is a composite of the four following assessments of disease activity: stool frequency subscore, rectal bleeding subscore, endoscopy subscore, and physician's global assessment (PGA) subscore. Each of the four assessments was rated with a score from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Remission was defined as MCS less than or equal to (≤)2 with individual subscores ≤1 and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0. Participants were also classified as non-remitters if Week 10 assessments were missing or if they had received permitted/prohibited rescue therapy prior to assessment. Participants were stratified by concomitant treatment with corticosteroids or immunosuppressants at randomization and disease activity measured during screening (MCS ≤9/MCS ≥10); the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test adjusted the difference in remission rates and associated 95% confidence interval for the stratification factors.

Frequently asked questions about Etrolizumab

What is Etrolizumab used for?

Etrolizumab is an investigational drug being studied for the treatment of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. It has been evaluated in clinical trials for this condition, including studies comparing it to other treatments such as infliximab and adalimumab. It is not approved and remains in clinical development.

Who makes Etrolizumab?

Etrolizumab is being developed by Roche Holding AG, which trades under the ticker RHHBY. The company has sponsored multiple clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in patients with ulcerative colitis.

What phase is Etrolizumab in?

Etrolizumab has completed Phase 3 clinical trials for ulcerative colitis. These trials were designed to compare its efficacy and safety against other treatments. However, it is still investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is Etrolizumab in?

Etrolizumab has been studied in several completed trials, including NCT01461317, a long-term safety study in moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, and Phase 3 trials NCT02136069, NCT02163759, and NCT02171429, which compared it to infliximab or adalimumab and placebo.

Is Etrolizumab the same as other ulcerative colitis treatments?

Etrolizumab is a distinct investigational drug being compared to existing treatments like infliximab and adalimumab in clinical trials. It is not the same as these medications, as it is being evaluated as a potential alternative for patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.
