    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants in Remission at Week 10 With Etrolizumab as Compared With Placebo, as Determined by the Mayo Clinic Score (MCS), GA28948 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.

      Improvement in endoscopic appearance of the mucosa was defined as a Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) endoscopy subscore ≤1. Blinded gastroenterologists experienced in inflammatory bowel disease performed central reading of endoscopies at an independent review facility. The rectum, sigmoid, and descending colon segments were assessed and each segment was assigned a score of 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. At baseline all segments were reviewed and the worst score from the three segments was recorded as the endoscopy subscore. Post-baseline the endoscopy score was the worst score of all segments that had been assessed at baseline, if the baseline endoscopy score had a sigmoid colon score ≤1. If at baseline the sigmoid colon score was ≥2, the post-baseline endoscopy score was the sigmoid colon score value. Non-responders also included participants with missing Week 10 assessments or those who had received permitted/prohibited rescue therapy prior to assessment.

    9. Percentage of Participants With Histologic Remission at Week 10, as Determined by the Nancy Histological Index, GA28948 Population [Week 10]

      Histologic remission is defined by the resolution of neutrophilic inflammation (e.g., absence of neutrophils in the crypts and lamina propria), defined by a Nancy Histological Index (NHI) score of ≤1. The NHI score ranges from 0 to 4, with the following definitions for each grade: 0 is no histologically significant disease; 1 is chronic inflammatory infiltrate with no acute inflammatory infiltrate; and 2, 3, and 4 are mildly, moderately, and severely active disease, respectively. A small pool of central readers who were blinded to both treatment arm and timepoint performed the histologic scoring. The same reader scored all slides for a given participant based on biopsies from the most inflamed region of the sigmoid colon. Participants were also classified as non-remitters if Week 10 assessments were missing or if they had received rescue therapy prior to assessment. The Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test adjusted the difference in remission rates and 95% CI for the stratification factors.

      The UC-PRO/SS questionnaire was collected in the e-diary and completed by participants for at least 9 to 12 consecutive days prior to a study visit. The bowel movement domain score ranges from 0 to 27, with a higher score indicating a worse disease state. The most recent 7 daily scores available (not including the visit) were selected for the calculation of the visit score. For each item in the questionnaire, a score was calculated for a visit by taking the average of the selected daily scores. The domain score for a visit was calculated as the sum of the averaged items for each question. A Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) analysis of the data included the fixed categorical effects of treatment, visit, study stratification factors, and treatment-by-visit interaction, and the continuous covariates of the baseline UC-PRO/SS domain and baseline UC-PRO/SS domain-by-visit interaction. An unstructured covariance matrix was used to model the within-patient errors within the MMRM.

    19. Percentage of Participants in Clinical Remission at Week 10, as Determined by the MCS, GA28948 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. Clinical remission was defined as MCS less than or equal to (≤)2 with individual subscores ≤1. 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 differences in remission rates and associated 95% confidence intervals for the stratification factors.

    21. Change From Baseline in Health-Related Quality of Life at Week 10, as Assessed by the Total Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) Score, GA28948 Population [Baseline, Week 10]

      The IBDQ is a 32-item questionnaire containing four domains: bowel symptoms (10 items), systemic symptoms (5 items), emotional function (12 items), and social function (5 items). An overall total IBDQ score was computed by summing the individual 32-item scores. The range for the IBDQ total score is 32 to 224, with higher scores denoting better health-related quality of life. The unadjusted mean and standard deviation for each study arm are reported. The change from baseline in the IBDQ score was analyzed using an ANCOVA model taking the stratification factors used at randomization into account (concomitant treatment with corticosteroids or immunosuppressants at randomization and disease activity measured during screening [MCS ≤9/MCS ≥10]), and the baseline IBDQ score used as a covariate.

    22. Pharmacokinetics of Etrolizumab: Serum Concentration, GA28948 Population [Weeks 10 and 14]

      An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation in which a patient is administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal attribution. The investigator independently assessed the severity and seriousness of each recorded AE. The AE severity grading scale for the NCI CTCAE v4.0 was used for assessing severity; any AE not specifically listed was rated according to the following grading scale from 1 to 5: 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = life-threatening, 5 = death. AEs of special interest included: elevated AST/ALT in combination with either elevated bilirubin or clinical jaundice; suspected transmission of infectious agent by the study drug; anaphylactic, anaphylactoid and systemic hypersensitivity reactions; and neurological signs, symptoms, and AEs that may suggest possible progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).

    24. Number and Percentage of Participants by Marked Laboratory Abnormality Status for Hematology Parameters as a Shift Table From Baseline to Week 10, GA28948 Population [From Baseline up to Week 10]

      Laboratory tests for hematology parameters were performed and values were compared with the Roche marked reference range. A marked abnormality was defined as a test result that was outside of the Roche marked reference range (labelled as 'High' or 'Low') and represented a clinically significant change from baseline. Not every laboratory abnormality qualified as an adverse event. A laboratory test result must have been reported as an adverse event if it met any of the following criteria: was accompanied by clinical symptoms; resulted in a change in study treatment or a medical intervention; or was clinically significant in the investigator's judgment. The results are presented as a shift from the baseline status to the Week 10 status. Baseline was defined as the last available assessment prior to first receipt of study drug. The 'missing' status only included participants with missing post-baseline values given they had a result at baseline. Abs = absolute count; Ery. = erythrocyte

    25. Number and Percentage of Participants by Marked Laboratory Abnormality Status for Chemistry Parameters as a Shift Table From Baseline to Week 10, GA28948 Population [From Baseline up to Week 10]

      Laboratory tests for chemistry parameters were performed and values were compared with the Roche marked reference range. A marked abnormality was defined as a test result that was outside of the Roche marked reference range (labelled as 'High' or 'Low') and represented a clinically significant change from baseline. Not every laboratory abnormality qualified as an adverse event. A laboratory test result must have been reported as an adverse event if it met any of the following criteria: was accompanied by clinical symptoms; resulted in a change in study treatment or a medical intervention; or was clinically significant in the investigator's judgment. The results are presented as a shift from the baseline status to the Week 10 status. Baseline was defined as the last available assessment prior to first receipt of study drug. The 'missing' status only included participants with missing post-baseline values given they had a result at baseline.

    26. Number and Percentage of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) to Etrolizumab at Baseline and Anytime Post-Baseline, GA28948 Population [Pre-dose (0 hour) on Day 1 and Week 4, Week 10, Week 14, and early termination/end of safety follow-up (up to 26 weeks)]

      Anti-drug antibody (ADA) serum samples were collected from participants and analyzed using validated assays. Participants were considered to be ADA positive post-baseline if they were ADA negative or had missing data at baseline, but developed an ADA response following etrolizumab drug exposure (treatment-induced ADA response), or if they were ADA positive at baseline and the titer of one or more post-baseline samples was at least 0.60 titer units greater than the titer of the baseline sample (treatment-enhanced ADA response). Participants were considered to be ADA negative if they were ADA negative or had missing data at baseline and all post-baseline samples were negative, or if they were ADA positive at baseline but did not have any post-baseline samples with a titer that was at least 0.60 titer unit greater than the titer of the baseline sample (treatment unaffected).

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details
    Pre-assignment Detail Participants who were on concomitant background therapy were allowed to continue receiving stable baseline doses of the following non-investigational medicinal products during the study: oral 5-aminosalicylic acid; azathioprine; 6-mercaptopurine; methotrexate; corticosteroids up to 30 mg/day of prednisone (or equivalent); and/or budesonide up to 9 mg/day.
    Arm/Group Title Placebo Adalimumab Etrolizumab
    Arm/Group Description The double-blinded treatment period consisted of a 10-week induction period and an additional 4-week treatment period for participants who met the definition of clinical remission at Week 10. Participants with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis who were naive to TNF inhibitors were randomized to this arm to receive placebo matching to etrolizumab subcutaneously (SC) once every 4 weeks (Q4W) up to Week 12 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 4, 8, and 12 [clinical remitters only]) and placebo matching to adalimumab SC once every 2 weeks (Q2W) up to Week 8 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 2, 4, 6, and 8). The double-blinded treatment period consisted of a 10-week induction period and an additional 4-week treatment period for participants who met the definition of clinical remission at Week 10. Participants with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis who were naive to TNF inhibitors were randomized to this arm to receive adalimumab subcutaneously (SC) Q2W up to Week 8 (160 mg at Week 0 [Day 1], 80 mg at Week 2, 40 mg at Weeks 4, 6, and 8) and placebo matching to etrolizumab SC Q4W up to Week 12 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 4, 8, and 12 [clinical remitters only]). The double-blinded treatment period consisted of a 10-week induction period and an additional 4-week treatment period for participants who met the definition of clinical remission at Week 10. Participants with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis who were naive to TNF inhibitors were randomized to this arm to receive etrolizumab 105 mg subcutaneously (SC) Q4W up to Week 12 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 4, 8, and 12 [clinical remitters only]) and placebo matching to adalimumab SC Q2W up to Week 8 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 2, 4, 6, and 8).

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Percentage of Participants in Remission at Week 10 With Etrolizumab as Compared With Placebo, as Determined by the Mayo Clinic Score (MCS), GA28948 Population
    Description 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.

    Description Improvement in endoscopic appearance of the mucosa was defined as a Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) endoscopy subscore ≤1. Blinded gastroenterologists experienced in inflammatory bowel disease performed central reading of endoscopies at an independent review facility. The rectum, sigmoid, and descending colon segments were assessed and each segment was assigned a score of 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. At baseline all segments were reviewed and the worst score from the three segments was recorded as the endoscopy subscore. Post-baseline the endoscopy score was the worst score of all segments that had been assessed at baseline, if the baseline endoscopy score had a sigmoid colon score ≤1. If at baseline the sigmoid colon score was ≥2, the post-baseline endoscopy score was the sigmoid colon score value. Non-responders also included participants with missing Week 10 assessments or those who had received permitted/prohibited rescue therapy prior to assessment.

    Title Percentage of Participants With Improvement in Endoscopic Appearance of the Mucosa at Week 10 With Etrolizumab as Compared With Adalimumab, as Determined by the MCS Endoscopy Subscore, GA28948 & GA28949 Pooled Population
    Description Improvement in endoscopic appearance of the mucosa was defined as a Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) endoscopy subscore ≤1. Blinded gastroenterologists experienced in inflammatory bowel disease performed central reading of endoscopies at an independent review facility. The rectum, sigmoid, and descending colon segments were assessed and each segment was assigned a score of 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. At baseline all segments were reviewed and the worst score from the three segments was recorded as the endoscopy subscore. Post-baseline the endoscopy score was the worst score of all segments that had been assessed at baseline, if the baseline endoscopy score had a sigmoid colon score ≤1. If at baseline the sigmoid colon score was ≥2, the post-baseline endoscopy score was the sigmoid colon score value. Non-responders also included participants with missing Week 10 assessments or those who had received permitted/prohibited rescue therapy prior to assessment.

    Title Percentage of Participants With Histologic Remission at Week 10, as Determined by the Nancy Histological Index, GA28948 Population
    Description Histologic remission is defined by the resolution of neutrophilic inflammation (e.g., absence of neutrophils in the crypts and lamina propria), defined by a Nancy Histological Index (NHI) score of ≤1. The NHI score ranges from 0 to 4, with the following definitions for each grade: 0 is no histologically significant disease; 1 is chronic inflammatory infiltrate with no acute inflammatory infiltrate; and 2, 3, and 4 are mildly, moderately, and severely active disease, respectively. A small pool of central readers who were blinded to both treatment arm and timepoint performed the histologic scoring. The same reader scored all slides for a given participant based on biopsies from the most inflamed region of the sigmoid colon. Participants were also classified as non-remitters if Week 10 assessments were missing or if they had received rescue therapy prior to assessment. The Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test adjusted the difference in remission rates and 95% CI for the stratification factors.

    Description Rectal bleeding data were collected via the participant's diaries and each day a participant provided a score from 0 to 3 according to the following definitions: 0 = no blood in the stool; 1 = streaks of blood with stool less than half the time; 2 = obvious blood with stool most of the time; 3 = blood alone passed. The Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) rectal bleeding subscore was calculated as the worst value of three days of daily diary scores closest to anchor dates at baseline and post-baseline. The data was considered non-parametric and was reported using RANK analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Participants were stratified by concomitant treatment with corticosteroids or immunosuppressants at randomization and disease activity measured during screening (MCS ≤9/MCS ≥10); the model adjusted for these stratification factors along with the baseline rectal bleeding (RB) subscore.

    Title Change From Baseline in the MCS Rectal Bleeding Subscore at Week 6 With Etrolizumab as Compared With Adalimumab, GA28948 & GA28949 Pooled Population
    Description Rectal bleeding data were collected via the participant's diaries and each day a participant provided a score from 0 to 3 according to the following definitions: 0 = no blood in the stool; 1 = streaks of blood with stool less than half the time; 2 = obvious blood with stool most of the time; 3 = blood alone passed. The Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) rectal bleeding subscore was calculated as the worst value of three days of daily diary scores closest to anchor dates at baseline and post-baseline. The data was considered non-parametric and was reported using RANK analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Participants were stratified by concomitant treatment with corticosteroids or immunosuppressants at randomization and disease activity measured during screening (MCS ≤9/MCS ≥10); the model adjusted for these stratification factors along with the baseline rectal bleeding (RB) subscore.

    Title Change From Baseline in Ulcerative Colitis (UC) Bowel Movement Signs and Symptoms at Week 10, as Assessed by the UC Patient-Reported Outcome Signs and Symptoms (UC-PRO/SS), GA28948 Population
    Description The UC-PRO/SS questionnaire was collected in the e-diary and completed by participants for at least 9 to 12 consecutive days prior to a study visit. The bowel movement domain score ranges from 0 to 27, with a higher score indicating a worse disease state. The most recent 7 daily scores available (not including the visit) were selected for the calculation of the visit score. For each item in the questionnaire, a score was calculated for a visit by taking the average of the selected daily scores. The domain score for a visit was calculated as the sum of the averaged items for each question. A Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) analysis of the data included the fixed categorical effects of treatment, visit, study stratification factors, and treatment-by-visit interaction, and the continuous covariates of the baseline UC-PRO/SS domain and baseline UC-PRO/SS domain-by-visit interaction. An unstructured covariance matrix was used to model the within-patient errors within the MMRM.

For each item in the questionnaire, a score was calculated for a visit by taking the average of the selected daily scores. The domain score for a visit was calculated as the sum of the averaged items for each question. A Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) analysis of the data included the fixed categorical effects of treatment, visit, study stratification factors, and treatment-by-visit interaction, and the continuous covariates of the baseline UC-PRO/SS domain and baseline UC-PRO/SS domain-by-visit interaction. An unstructured covariance matrix was used to model the within-patient errors in the MMRM.

    Title Percentage of Participants in Clinical Remission at Week 10, as Determined by the MCS, GA28948 Population
    Description 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. Clinical remission was defined as MCS less than or equal to (≤)2 with individual subscores ≤1. 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 differences in remission rates and associated 95% confidence intervals for the stratification factors.

    Title Change From Baseline in Health-Related Quality of Life at Week 10, as Assessed by the Total Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) Score, GA28948 Population
    Description The IBDQ is a 32-item questionnaire containing four domains: bowel symptoms (10 items), systemic symptoms (5 items), emotional function (12 items), and social function (5 items). An overall total IBDQ score was computed by summing the individual 32-item scores. The range for the IBDQ total score is 32 to 224, with higher scores denoting better health-related quality of life. The unadjusted mean and standard deviation for each study arm are reported. The change from baseline in the IBDQ score was analyzed using an ANCOVA model taking the stratification factors used at randomization into account (concomitant treatment with corticosteroids or immunosuppressants at randomization and disease activity measured during screening [MCS ≤9/MCS ≥10]), and the baseline IBDQ score used as a covariate.

    Title Number and Percentage of Participants by Marked Laboratory Abnormality Status for Hematology Parameters as a Shift Table From Baseline to Week 10, GA28948 Population
    Description Laboratory tests for hematology parameters were performed and values were compared with the Roche marked reference range. A marked abnormality was defined as a test result that was outside of the Roche marked reference range (labelled as 'High' or 'Low') and represented a clinically significant change from baseline. Not every laboratory abnormality qualified as an adverse event. A laboratory test result must have been reported as an adverse event if it met any of the following criteria: was accompanied by clinical symptoms; resulted in a change in study treatment or a medical intervention; or was clinically significant in the investigator's judgment. The results are presented as a shift from the baseline status to the Week 10 status. Baseline was defined as the last available assessment prior to first receipt of study drug. The 'missing' status only included participants with missing post-baseline values given they had a result at baseline. Abs = absolute count; Ery. = erythrocyte

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    GA28948 Safety Population: includes all participants in study GA28948 who received at least one dose of study drug, with participants grouped according to the treatment received.
    Arm/Group Title Placebo Adalimumab Etrolizumab
    Arm/Group Description The double-blinded treatment period consisted of a 10-week induction period and an additional 4-week treatment period for participants who met the definition of clinical remission at Week 10. Participants with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis who were naive to TNF inhibitors were randomized to this arm to receive placebo matching to etrolizumab subcutaneously (SC) once every 4 weeks (Q4W) up to Week 12 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 4, 8, and 12 [clinical remitters only]) and placebo matching to adalimumab SC once every 2 weeks (Q2W) up to Week 8 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 2, 4, 6, and 8). The double-blinded treatment period consisted of a 10-week induction period and an additional 4-week treatment period for participants who met the definition of clinical remission at Week 10. Participants with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis who were naive to TNF inhibitors were randomized to this arm to receive adalimumab subcutaneously (SC) Q2W up to Week 8 (160 mg at Week 0 [Day 1], 80 mg at Week 2, 40 mg at Weeks 4, 6, and 8) and placebo matching to etrolizumab SC Q4W up to Week 12 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 4, 8, and 12 [clinical remitters only]). The double-blinded treatment period consisted of a 10-week induction period and an additional 4-week treatment period for participants who met the definition of clinical remission at Week 10. Participants with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis who were naive to TNF inhibitors were randomized to this arm to receive etrolizumab 105 mg subcutaneously (SC) Q4W up to Week 12 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 4, 8, and 12 [clinical remitters only]) and placebo matching to adalimumab SC Q2W up to Week 8 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 2, 4, 6, and 8).

    27. Secondary Outcome
    Title Number and Percentage of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) to Etrolizumab at Baseline and Anytime Post-Baseline, GA28948 Population
    Description Anti-drug antibody (ADA) serum samples were collected from participants and analyzed using validated assays. Participants were considered to be ADA positive post-baseline if they were ADA negative or had missing data at baseline, but developed an ADA response following etrolizumab drug exposure (treatment-induced ADA response), or if they were ADA positive at baseline and the titer of one or more post-baseline samples was at least 0.60 titer units greater than the titer of the baseline sample (treatment-enhanced ADA response). Participants were considered to be ADA negative if they were ADA negative or had missing data at baseline and all post-baseline samples were negative, or if they were ADA positive at baseline but did not have any post-baseline samples with a titer that was at least 0.60 titer unit greater than the titer of the baseline sample (treatment unaffected).
    Time Frame Pre-dose (0 hour) on Day 1 and Week 4, Week 10, Week 14, and early termination/end of safety follow-up (up to 26 weeks)

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    GA28948 Safety Population: includes all participants in study GA28948 who received at least one dose of study drug, with participants grouped according to the treatment received. The analysis of ADAs at baseline and post-baseline only included participants who received treatment with etrolizumab.
    Arm/Group Title Etrolizumab
    Arm/Group Description The double-blinded treatment period consisted of a 10-week induction period and an additional 4-week treatment period for participants who met the definition of clinical remission at Week 10. Participants with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis who were naive to TNF inhibitors were randomized to this arm to receive etrolizumab 105 mg subcutaneously (SC) Q4W up to Week 12 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 4, 8, and 12 [clinical remitters only]) and placebo matching to adalimumab SC Q2W up to Week 8 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 2, 4, 6, and 8).

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame From Baseline until the end of study (up to 26 weeks)
    Adverse Event Reporting Description The adverse events reported here are those that occurred only in participants enrolled in study GA28948 who received at least one dose of study drug. For the adverse events that occurred in participants enrolled in the identically designed study, GA28949, please refer to its study record, NCT02171429.
    Arm/Group Title Placebo Adalimumab Etrolizumab
    Arm/Group Description The double-blinded treatment period consisted of a 10-week induction period and an additional 4-week treatment period for participants who met the definition of clinical remission at Week 10. Participants with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis who were naive to TNF inhibitors were randomized to this arm to receive placebo matching to etrolizumab subcutaneously (SC) once every 4 weeks (Q4W) up to Week 12 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 4, 8, and 12 [clinical remitters only]) and placebo matching to adalimumab SC once every 2 weeks (Q2W) up to Week 8 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 2, 4, 6, and 8). The double-blinded treatment period consisted of a 10-week induction period and an additional 4-week treatment period for participants who met the definition of clinical remission at Week 10. Participants with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis who were naive to TNF inhibitors were randomized to this arm to receive adalimumab subcutaneously (SC) Q2W up to Week 8 (160 mg at Week 0 [Day 1], 80 mg at Week 2, 40 mg at Weeks 4, 6, and 8) and placebo matching to etrolizumab SC Q4W up to Week 12 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 4, 8, and 12 [clinical remitters only]). The double-blinded treatment period consisted of a 10-week induction period and an additional 4-week treatment period for participants who met the definition of clinical remission at Week 10. Participants with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis who were naive to TNF inhibitors were randomized to this arm to receive etrolizumab 105 mg subcutaneously (SC) Q4W up to Week 12 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 4, 8, and 12 [clinical remitters only]) and placebo matching to adalimumab SC Q2W up to Week 8 (at Weeks 0 [Day 1], 2, 4, 6, and 8).
