EFFICACY DATA
FOR ULCERATIVE
COLITIS

Proven to Give Patients a Chance at Early Symptom Relief and Endoscopic Control1

SKYRIZI ulcerative colitis clinical trial outcomes, including early symptom relief with clinical response as early as Week 4 and clinical remission at Week 12, endoscopic improvement and endoscopic remission through Week 52 and up to approximately 3 years, and durable clinical remission and steroid-free clinical remission at Week 52.

STUDY DESIGN

INSPIRE Induction (N=966) was a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SKYRIZI 1200 mg IV, at Weeks 0, 4, and 8 vs placebo over 12 weeks in adult patients with moderate to severe UC. The primary endpoint was clinical remission† at Week 12.1,2

COMMAND Maintenance (N=547) was a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SKYRIZI 180 mg or 360 mg SC vs placebo up to 52 weeks in adult patients who were clinical responders to one of three SKYRIZI induction regimens consisting of 600 mg, 1200 mg, or 1800 mg IV (the 600 mg and 1800 mg IV are not FDA-approved induction regimens) in the INSPIRE Phase 2b or Phase 3 studies. The primary endpoint was clinical remission† at Week 52. COMMAND also included a prespecified subgroup analysis inclusive only of patients who responded to the FDA-approved induction dosing of SKYRIZI 1200 mg IV (N=271).1,2

COMMAND OLE (N=133) is an ongoing open-label extension study that evaluated the long-term efficacy and safety of SKYRIZI that included patients from the COMMAND maintenance study. Patients in the COMMAND maintenance study achieved clinical response per modified Mayo Score with SKYRIZI in the INSPIRE induction study. This study population for COMMAND OLE is a subanalysis that includes patients who responded to 12-week induction with SKYRIZI 1200 mg IV, received SKYRIZI 180 mg or 360 mg SC Q8W in the Phase 3 maintenance study, and entered the OLE and received at least one dose of SKYRIZI 180 mg SC in the COMMAND OLE study.3

Patients Achieved Durable Remission at Weeks 12 and 521

Symptom control outcomes in ulcerative colitis. At Week 52 in the COMMAND maintenance study, clinical response rates were 45% with SKYRIZI 180 mg SC, 50% with SKYRIZI 360 mg SC, and 29% with placebo. In the advanced therapy-naive subgroup, rates were 59%, 70%, and 32%, respectively. During the Week 148 open-label extension, clinical response rates were 67% in the overall population and 79% in the advanced therapy-naive subgroup.

Use the lowest effective dosage to maintain therapeutic response.

Advanced therapy-naïve patients include some patients who were exposed to an advanced therapy (biologics, JAK inhibitors, and/or S1P receptor modulators) but did not experience treatment failure.1

*Clinical response at Week 4 in UC per partial modified Mayo Score is a composite of Mayo stool frequency and rectal bleeding subscores and was defined as a decrease in total score ≥30% and ≥1 point from baseline and a decrease in rectal bleeding subscore ≥1 or rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1.1,2

‡Endoscopic improvement in UC is defined as Mayo endoscopic subscore of 0 or 1 without friability.1 Endoscopic results are based on a full colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy, at the discretion of the investigator.5

§Endoscopic remission in UC is defined as Mayo endoscopic subscore of 0.1 Endoscopic results are based on a full colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy, at the discretion of the investigator.5

||Steroid-free clinical remission in UC is defined as clinical remission per modified Mayo Score (rectal bleeding, stool frequency, endoscopic subscore) at Week 52 and corticosteroid-free for ≥90 days immediately preceding Week 52.

LIMITATIONS: OLE: All patients completed the 52-week maintenance period and received SKYRIZI 180 mg Q8W regardless of the maintenance dose. An OLE may enrich long-term data as patients intolerant or unresponsive to the drug drop out. Endoscopies at Week 152 were locally read.
AO: A patient may not have had a response at each timepoint and any missing visit data were excluded from calculations for that visit, which may increase the percent responders. All observed data were used regardless of premature discontinuation of study drug or initiation of concomitant medication.3

LIMITATIONS OF PRESPECIFIED SUBGROUP ANALYSIS: Results shown are only among patients who responded to the FDA-approved 1200 mg IV induction dose.
