Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of participants with Crohn's Disease with treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and adverse events of special interest (AESIs)
Up to End of Study (approximately 106 weeks)
Number of participants with ulcerative colitis with treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and adverse events of special interest (AESIs)
Up to End of Study (approximately 106 weeks)
Proportion of participants achieving clinical remission at Week 12 by modified Mayo Score (mMS)
Week 12

Clinical remission by modified Mayo score (mMS) is defined as a mMS ≤2 with no subscore \>1 (stool frequency \[SF\] of 0 or 1 with at least a 1-point decrease from baseline, rectal bleeding \[RB\] of 0 and modified Mayo Endoscopic Subscore \[mMES\] of 0 or 1 where 1 does not include friability). Each component of the mMS (SF, RB, and mMES) is scored from 0 to 3. The total mMS ranges from 0 to 9 with higher scores indicating greater disease severity.

Proportion of participants achieving at least 20% improvement from baseline in the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) score at week 12
Baseline to Week 12

ACR20 response criteria is a dichotomous composite endpoint indicating the proportion of participants with at least 20 percent improvement in the number of tender and swollen joints, and in three out of the remaining five ACR core-set measures: patient pain (VAS, No pain to Severe Pain), Patient Global Assessment of disease activity (VAS, Very well to Very Poor), physician global assessment of disease activity (VAS, Very good to Very bad), physical functioning assessment (Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index \[HAQ-DI\]), and acute phase reactants (ESR or CRP mg/dl; in this study CRP will be used). ACR response is scored as a percentage improvement, comparing disease activity at two discrete time points. ACR20 is ≥ 20% improvement.

Percentage of Participants With a 75% or Greater Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score Reduction From Baseline (PASI75) at Week 12
Baseline (Day 1) and Week 12

PASI is linear combination of percent of surface area of skin that is affected and severity of erythema(E),induration(i),desquamation(D) over 4 body regions: head(h),trunk(t),upper extremities(u),lower extremities(l). The signs of severity, E, i and D of lesions are assessed using numeric scale for which scores are made independently for each of the areas; range:0 (complete lack of cutaneous involvement) to 4 (severest possible involvement). For each body area, percentage of considered body area covered by plaque psoriasis is translated into numerical value "Ax":0=no involvement,1=\<10% to 6=90 to 100% involvement. These scores are noted Ah, At, Au, and Al in formula below. The PASI score is calculated according to the following formula: PASI = 0.1(Eh+ih+Dh)Ah + 0.3(Et+it+Dt)At + 0.2(Eu+iu+Du)Au + 0.4(El+il+Dl)Al. PASI score range:0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease);higher scores: greater psoriasis severity. Percentage of participants with PASI75 at Week 12 is presented.
