Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability, efficacy, and biomarker response of BMS-986165 administered orally in participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. The study was originally designed to test deucravacitinib at two doses for 12 weeks compared to placebo. After the initial 12-Week period, all subjects receive active therapy (open-label extension). With protocol amendment 2, one of the dose treatment arms is being removed from the 12-week double blind period with no change to the open-label extension.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants in Clinical Response at Week 12At week 12Clinical response is defined as achieving the following changes in the modified Mayo score (excludes the physicians' global assessment) * A decrease from baseline in the modified Mayo score of ≥ 2 points, and * A decrease from baseline in the modified Mayo score ≥ 30%, and * A decrease in rectal bleeding (RB) subscore of ≥ 1 point or absolute RB subscore ≤ 1 Note: The modified Mayo score calculated to determine eligibility will also be used as the baseline disease activity score. The modified Mayo score is a 9-point scale (a score of 5 to 9 points denotes moderate to severe disease). The modified Mayo score is a sum of the following 3 components: * Stool frequency (SF) subscore (0 to 3) * Rectal bleeding (RB) subscore (0 to 3) * Endoscopic (ES) subscore (0 to 3)
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs)From first dose up to the last dose in the double-blind period or 30 days post the last dose date if not treated in the open-label period and from the first dose in open-label period up to 30 days post the last dose date (up to approximately 402 days)An AE is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a preexisting medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study drug and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Note: the first dose of study treatment in the open-label period may be the same as the last dose date of study treatment in double-blind treatment period, therefore, the participants analyzed in the open-label period may contain double blind participants finishing their last dose in the double-blind treatment period.
Number of Participants Experiencing Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)From first dose up to the last dose in the double-blind period or 30 days post the last dose date if not treated in the open-label period and from the first dose in open-label period up to 30 days post the last dose date (up to approximately 402 days)An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or permanent damage, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is an important medical event. Note: the first dose of study treatment in the open-label period may be the same as the last dose date of study treatment in double-blind treatment period, therefore, the participants analyzed in the open-label period may contain double blind participants finishing their last dose in the double-blind treatment period.
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to DiscontinuationFrom first dose up to the last dose in the double-blind period or 30 days post the last dose date if not treated in the open-label period and from the first dose in open-label period up to 30 days post the last dose date (up to approximately 402 days)An AE is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a preexisting medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study drug and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events of Special Interest (AEIs)From first dose to 52 weeks after first doseAn AE is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a preexisting medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study drug and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. AEs of special interest include: skin events, influenza, herpes viral infections, opportunistic infections, tuberculosis, cardiovascular events, malignancy, and COVID-19.

Outcome results

Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs)

An AE is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a preexisting medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study drug and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Note: the first dose of study treatment in the open-label period may be the same as the last dose date of study treatment in double-blind treatment period, therefore, the participants analyzed in the open-label period may contain double blind participants finishing their last dose in the double-blind treatment period.

Time frame: From first dose up to the last dose in the double-blind period or 30 days post the last dose date if not treated in the open-label period and from the first dose in open-label period up to 30 days post the last dose date (up to approximately 402 days)

Population: All randomized participants who receive at least 1 dose of double-blind study treatment. Prespecified to be collected for participants in Arms BMS-986165 12 mg BID and Placebo BID PO. BMS-986165 6 mg BID was removed under Protocol Amendment 02.
