Ulcerative Colitis
Conditions
Brief summary
Adults between 18 and 80 years of age with ulcerative colitis can participate in this study. This is a study for people for whom previous treatment was not successful or who stopped previous treatment. The purpose of this study is to find out whether BI 3032950 helps people with ulcerative colitis. This study has 2 parts. In Part A, participants get BI 3032950 as an infusion into a vein every 4 weeks. After 12 weeks, doctors check whether the signs and symptoms of ulcerative colitis have improved. Before the results of this assessment are available, participants move on to Part B and get BI 3032950 as an injection under the skin. Participants whose results show clinical response after 12 weeks can continue treatment with BI 3032950. They get BI 3032950 injections under the skin every 4 weeks for up to 2 years. Participants visit their doctors every 4 weeks. During these visits, the doctors check the signs and symptoms of ulcerative colitis. This includes taking blood and stool samples. Doctors also do endoscopies. This is a procedure that uses a tube with a camera to look inside the body. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

Exclusion criteria
* Diagnosis of indeterminate colitis, ischemic colitis, radiation colitis, diverticular disease associated with colitis, microscopic colitis, or Crohn's disease (CD), * Findings suggestive of CD (e.g. fistulae, granulomas on biopsy), * Evidence of colonic moderate/severe mucosal dysplasia or colonic adenomas, unless properly removed, * Gastrointestinal neoplasia, primary sclerosing cholangitis, or known colonic stricture, * Evidence of fulminant colitis or toxic megacolon at screening, * Current ileal-pouch anal anastomosis, ileostomy, colostomy, or known fixed symptomatic stenosis of the intestine, * Previous surgery or anticipated surgical intervention for UC (trial participants with previous colonic surgery may be allowed based on investigator's judgement after discussion with the sponsor), * Any current or prior abscesses, unless they have been drained and treated at least 6 weeks prior to first trial drug administration and are not anticipated to require surgery, * Further
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Proportion of patients with clinical remission defined by the modified Mayo Score [mSC] with mSC of 0 to 2, including stool frequency subscore [SFS] of 0 or 1, rectal bleeding subscore [RBS] of 0, and centrally-read endoscopy subscore [ESS] of 0 or 1 | Up to Week 12 | The modified Mayo score (mMS) consists of 3 components 1. Stool frequency subscore (SFS) 2. Rectal bleeding subscore (RBS) 3. Endoscopy subscore (ESS) Each component is graded from 0 = none to 3 = severe. The overall range of the mMS is from 0 to 9 with a higher score indicating a worsening of the symptoms. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 | Up to Week 12 | The stool frequency (SFS) is graded from 0 = none to 3 = severe. The SFS is part of the modified Mayo score. |
| Rectal bleeding subscore of 0 | Up to Week 12 | The rectal bleeding subscore (RBS) is graded from 0 = none to 3 = severe. The RBS is part of the modified Mayo score. |
| Occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) | Up to Week 12 and up to Week 104 | — |
| Endoscopic improvement (defined as centrally-read ESS of 0 or 1) | Up to Week 12 | The endoscopy subscore (ESS) is graded from 0 = none to 3 = severe. The ESS is part of the modified Mayo score. |
| Clinical response (defined as a decrease from baseline in mMS ≥2 and at least a 30% reduction from baseline, and a decrease in RBS of ≥1 or an absolute RBS of 0 or 1) | Up to Week 12 | The modified Mayo score (mMS) consists of 3 components 1. Stool frequency subscore (SFS) 2. Rectal bleeding subscore (RBS) 3. Endoscopy subscore (ESS) Each component is graded from 0 = none to 3 = severe. The overall range of the mMS is from 0 to 9 with a higher score indicating a worsening of the symptoms. |
| Modified Mayo Score change from baseline | Up to Week 12 | The modified Mayo score (mMS) consists of 3 components 1. Stool frequency subscore (SFS) 2. Rectal bleeding subscore (RBS) 3. Endoscopy subscore (ESS) Each component is graded from 0 = none to 3 = severe. The overall range of the mMS is from 0 to 9 with a higher score indicating a worsening of the symptoms. |
| Endoscopic remission (defined as centrally-read ESS of 0) | Up to Week 12 | The endoscopy subscore (ESS) is graded from 0 = none to 3 = severe. The ESS is part of the modified Mayo score. |
