Summary

This trial will assess the safety and effectiveness of Upadacitinib in treating pediatric UC. It will involve 2 periods, 8 wk induction, 44 wk double-blind maintenance, 260 wk open-label extension. 110 participants worldwide will take part.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pediatric patients with moderate to severely active Ulcerative Colitis who haven't responded well to other treatments like corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or biologics. They must have certain levels of disease activity and inflammation in the colon. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, or those planning pregnancy during the study period are excluded, as are those previously treated with JAK inhibitors.
What is being tested?
The trial tests Upadacitinib's safety and effectiveness in children with UC over two periods: an initial 8-week phase where everyone knows they're getting the drug followed by a 44-week phase where participants don't know their dose. This leads into a long-term extension for monitoring. The treatment involves daily oral tablets or solution.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed here, common side effects of Upadacitinib may include infections due to immune system suppression, increased cholesterol levels, liver enzyme elevations indicating potential liver injury, gastrointestinal perforations (holes), and allergic reactions.
