Summary

"This trial is testing a new drug called lutikizumab for treating ulcerative colitis (UC) by comparing it to an existing drug called adalimumab. Participants will be divided into

Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis for at least 3 months, showing moderate disease activity and not responding well to standard treatments like aminosalicylates or corticosteroids. Participants must have specific scores on medical scales that measure UC severity.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of Lutikizumab compared to Adalimumab in treating Ulcerative Colitis. Patients are randomly assigned to different doses of these drugs over an initial 12-week period, followed by maintenance or open-label treatment until Week 52.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at injection sites, increased risk of infections due to immune system suppression, headaches, nausea, and possible infusion-related reactions.

Trial Design

7Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Maintenance Non-RespondersExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants who do not respond to study drug at the end of induction period will receive open label SC lutikizumab in the maintenance period.
Group II: Maintenance Group 2Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants who responded to lutikizumab induction group 1 or 2 will be re-randomized. Participants in this group will receive SC lutikizumab throughout the maintenance period. Lutikizumab placebo and adalimumab placebo will be utilized to maintain the blind.
Group III: Maintenance Group 1Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants who responded to lutikizumab induction group 1 or 2 will be re-randomized. Participants in this group will receive SC lutikizumab throughout the maintenance period. Adalimumab placebo will be utilized to maintain the blind.
Group IV: Maintenance AdalimumabExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants who respond to adalimumab induction group 3 will continue to receive adalimumab per label in the maintenance period. Lutikizumab placebo will be utilized to maintain the blind.
Group V: Induction Group 3Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive adalimumab per label throughout induction. Lutikizumab placebo will be utilized to maintain the blind.
Group VI: Induction Group 2Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive Dose 2 of IV lutikizumab at Baseline followed by SC lutikizumab throughout induction. Lutikizumab placebo and adalimumab placebo will be utilized to maintain the blind.
Group VII: Induction Group 1Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive Dose 1 of IV lutikizumab at Baseline followed by SC lutikizumab throughout induction. Adalimumab placebo will be utilized to maintain the blind.
