Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Clinical Response During Double-Blind Acute Phase at Week 8
Week 8

Clinical response was defined as partial ulcerative colitis disease activity index (UC-DAI) score \< or =1 with rectal bleeding = 0, stool frequency \< or =1, and physician's global assessment (PGA = 0). Number of participants with clinical response were reported.

Number of Participants With Clinical Response During Double-blind Maintenance Phase at Week 26
Week 26

Clinical response was defined as partial UC-DAI \<=1 with (rectal bleeding = 0, stool frequency \< or =1, and PGA = 0). Number of participants who had maintained clinical response were reported.

Percent of Subjects Without Recurrence of Diverticulitis
up to 104 Weeks

Recurrence of diverticulitis is defined as the presence of each and all of the following 3 items: 1) abdominal pain, 2) a 15% increase in white blood cell count from baseline, 3) bowel wall thickening (\>5 mm) and/or fat stranding as evidenced by spiral computerized axial tomography (CT) scan; OR surgical intervention for diverticular disease. Withdrawals are considered as recurrences.

Endoscopic Remission of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) at 6 Months
6 Months

Endoscopic remission is defined as an endoscopy score of less than or equal to 1. Endoscopy score (mucosal appearance) ranges from 0-3 (0 = normal \[intact vascular pattern; no friability or granulation\], 1 = mild \[erythema; decreased vascular pattern; minimal granularity\], 2 = moderate \[marked erythema; granularity; friability; absent vascular pattern; bleeding with minimal trauma; no ulcerations\], 3 = severe \[ulceration; spontaneous bleeding\].

Treatment emergent adverse events
Throughout the study period of approximately 2 year, 4 months
Number of Participants With Positive Responses to Palatability Assessment of The Taste of Mesalamine
Immediately post-dose

A taste assessment was completed immediately after investigational product was administered to assess the subject's taste/liking of the formulation. The assessment consisted of a 5-point rating scale. Participants were asked to choose one of the following responses to the statement "The taste was acceptable": strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, or strongly disagree. The number of participants who chose either of the top two responses (strongly agree, agree) is reported.

Number of Participants Who Detected an Aftertaste of Mesalamine
5 minutes post-dose

An aftertaste assessment was completed 5 minutes after administration of investigational product to assess whether the participants detected an aftertaste. The participants answered "Yes" or "No" to the following question: "Was there an aftertaste?" The number of participants who answered "Yes" is reported.

Number of Participants With Positive Responses to Palatability Assessment of The Aftertaste of Mesalamine
5 minutes post-dose

An aftertaste assessment was completed 5 minutes after administration of investigational product to assess the subject's rating of aftertaste and means of administration. The assessment consisted of a 5-point rating scale. The participants were asked to choose one of the following responses to the statement "The aftertaste (if present) was acceptable": strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, or strongly disagree. The number of participants who chose either of the top two responses (strongly agree, agree) is reported.

Number of Participants Willing to Take Mesalamine Via Treatment Method on a Regular Basis
Immediately post-dose

The participants were asked to answer "Yes" or "No" to the following question: "Would you be willing to take medicine this way on a regular basis if necessary?" The number of participants who answered "Yes" is reported.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) of MMX Mesalamine (5-ASA) at Steady State
2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, and 24 hours post-dose on day 7

AUC can be used as a measure of drug exposure. It is derived from drug concentration and time so it gives a measure how much and how long a drug stays in a body.

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of MMX Mesalamine (5-ASA) at Steady State
Over a 24-hour period starting on day 7

Cmax is a term that refers to the maximum (or peak) concentration that a drug achieves in the body after the drug has been administrated.

Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of MMX Mesalamine (5-ASA) at Steady State
Over a 24-hour period starting on day 7

Tmax is the time after administration of a drug when the maximum plasma concentration in the body is reached.

Total Body Clearance (CL) of MMX Mesalamine (5-ASA) at Steady State
Over a 24-hour period starting on day 7

Clearance of a substance from the blood by the kidneys.

AUC of MMX Mesalamine Major Metabolite (Ac-5-ASA) at Steady State
2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, and 24 hours post-dose on day 7
Cmax of MMX Mesalamine Major Metabolite (Ac-5-ASA) at Steady State

What is SPD476 used for?

SPD476 has been studied for two gastrointestinal indications: prevention of recurrence of diverticulitis and maintenance of remission in patients with ulcerative colitis. Both uses were evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials that have completed. SPD476 is an investigational therapy and is not described as approved for any indication.

Who makes SPD476?

SPD476 is developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, which trades under the ticker TAK. Takeda sponsored the Phase 3 clinical program evaluating SPD476 in diverticulitis and ulcerative colitis. The drug is also known as MMX mesalazine and as a 1.2g extended release tablet.

What phase is SPD476 in?

SPD476 is in Phase 3 clinical development. Four Phase 3 trials have been completed, two in diverticulitis and two in ulcerative colitis, with no active trials currently listed. SPD476 is investigational and is not described as FDA approved.

What clinical trials is SPD476 in?

SPD476 has been studied in completed Phase 3 trials including NCT00545740 and NCT00545103, both titled Prevention of Recurrence of Diverticulitis, and NCT00151944 and NCT00151892, which evaluated maintenance of remission in ulcerative colitis. These trials enrolled adults aged 18 years and older across multiple countries.

Is SPD476 the same as MMX mesalazine?

Yes, SPD476 is also known as MMX mesalazine and as a 1.2g extended release tablet. These names refer to the same investigational product developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited. Readers searching for MMX mesalazine or SPD476 1.2g are looking at the same asset.
