CAPYBARA: A Study Evaluating the Effect of Filgotinib Dose De-escalation in Participants With Ulcerative Colitis (UC) in Remission
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Participants who are in clinical remission on 200 mg filgotinib once daily (q.d.) for at least 2 consecutive quarterly visits in the ongoing SELECTION-LTE study (GS-US-418-3899, NCT02914535), are planned to be rolled over and randomized in this study. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of filgotinib in participants in stable clinical remission on 200 mg filgotinib q.d. for whom the dose was decreased to 100 mg q.d. compared to participants remaining on 200 mg q.d.

Arms and Interventions

|---|---|
| Experimental: Filgotinib 200 mg Participants will receive filgotinib 200 mg and placebo to match filgotinib 100 mg. Participants will receive blinded treatment until primary analysis time point (after last participant completes Week 48 post baseline visit or has completed Week 12 post re-escalation visit, or after last follow-up of participant who discontinues prior to Week 48, whichever comes last), with exception of participants with endoscopic score (ES)-confirmed UC flare who will be switched to open-label 200 mg filgotinib q.d. for at least 12 weeks and may continue treatment in case of response until the end of the study. Participants, who are blinded at the time of the primary analysis time point, will receive open-label filgotinib 200 mg q.d. The maximum duration of the treatment will be 216 weeks. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of Participants in Corticosteroid-free Clinical Remission Based on Modified Mayo Clinical Score (mMCS) at Week 48 [Week 48]
mMCS score is composed of subscores from rectal bleeding, stool frequency, and endoscopic findings (the range of each subscore is 0 to 3 with higher score indicating severe disease). mMCS remission is defined as mMCS score ≤2, with endoscopic subscore of ≤1, stool frequency subscore of ≤1, and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Time to Patient-Reported Outcome Based on 2 Items (PRO2) Flare [Baseline (Day 1) up to 216 weeks]
PRO2 includes items of stool frequency and rectal bleeding. The range of each item score is 0 to 3 with higher score indicating severe disease. PRO2 flare is defined as a PRO2 score worsening of at least 2 points and an absolute PRO2 score of at least 3, with stool frequency subscore ≥2, and rectal bleeding subscore ≥1.
- Time to ES-Confirmed UC Flare [Baseline (Day 1) up to 216 weeks]
An ES-confirmed UC flare is defined as an increase in rectal bleeding subscore by at least 1 point and an increase in stool frequency subscore by at least 2 points and an increase in endoscopic subscore by at least 1 point. The range of each item score is 0 to 3 with higher score indicating severe disease.
- Change From Baseline in C-Reactive Protein (CRP) up to Week 48 [Baseline, up to Week 48]
- Change From Baseline in Fecal Calprotectin (FCP) up to Week 48 [Baseline, up to Week 48]
- Change From Baseline in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) at Week 48 [Baseline, Week 48]
IBDQ consists of 32 questions divided into four dimensions: bowel symptoms (10 items), systemic symptoms (5 items), emotional function (12 items), and social function (5 items). Every question has graded responses from 1 (worst situation) to 7 (best situation). The total score is the sum of the score from each question and ranges from 32 to 224 with higher scores representing better quality of life.
- Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events, and TEAEs Leading to Treatment Discontinuation [Baseline up to 216 weeks]
