A Study of Guselkumab Therapy in Participants With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis

Percentage of participants in clinical remission at Week 12 was reported. Clinical remission is defined as a Mayo stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 and not increased from baseline, a Mayo rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and a Mayo endoscopy subscore of 0, or 1 with no friability present on the endoscopy. Mayo stool frequency subscore was determined on the average number of stools more than normal in 24 hours, score ranged from 0 (normal number of stools) to 3 (5 or more stools more than normal), higher score indicated more severity. Mayo rectal bleeding subscore ranged from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (blood alone passed), higher score indicated more severity. Mayo endoscopy subscore ranged from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 3 (severe disease), higher score indicated more severity.

Percentage of participants in symptomatic remission at Week 12 was reported. Symptomatic remission is defined as a stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 and not increased from baseline, and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0. Mayo stool frequency subscore was determined on the average number of stools more than normal in 24 hours, score ranged from 0 (normal number of stools) to 3 (5 or more stools more than normal), higher score indicated more severity. Mayo rectal bleeding subscore ranged from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (blood alone passed), higher score indicated more severity.

Percentage of participants with endoscopic improvement at Week 12 was reported. Endoscopic improvement is defined as an endoscopy subscore of 0, or 1 with no friability present on the endoscopy. Mayo endoscopy subscore ranged from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 3 (severe disease), higher score indicated more severity.

Percentage of participants in clinical response at Week 12 was reported. Clinical response is defined as a decrease from baseline in the modified Mayo score by greater than or equal to (>=) 30 percent (%) and >=2 points, with either a >=1-point decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore or a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1. The modified Mayo scores consisted of 3 subscores: stool frequency, rectal bleeding and endoscopic subscore, each subscore graded from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe) with higher scores indicating more severe disease. These individual subscores were summed up to give a total modified Mayo score range of 0 (normal) to 9 (severe disease), where higher scores indicated more severe disease activity.

Percentage of participants with histologic-endoscopic mucosal improvement at Week 12 was reported. Histologic-endoscopic mucosal improvement is defined as achieving a combination of histologic improvement and endoscopic improvement. Histologic improvement is defined as neutrophil infiltration in less than (<) 5% of crypts, no crypt destruction, and no erosions, ulcerations or granulation tissue according to the Geboes grading system. Endoscopic improvement is defined as an endoscopy subscore of 0, or 1 with no friability present on the endoscopy. Mayo endoscopy subscore ranged from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 3 (severe disease), higher score indicated more severity.

Percentage of participants in clinical remission at Week 24 was reported. Clinical remission is defined as a stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 and not increased from baseline, a rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and an endoscopy subscore of 0, or 1 with no friability present on the endoscopy. Mayo stool frequency subscore was determined on the average number of stools more than normal in 24 hours, score ranged from 0 (normal number of stools) to 3 (5 or more stools more than normal), higher score indicated more severity. Mayo rectal bleeding subscore ranged from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (blood alone passed), higher score indicated more severity. Mayo endoscopy subscore ranged from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 3 (severe disease), higher score indicated more severity.

Percentage of participants in symptomatic remission at Week 24 was reported. Symptomatic remission is defined as a stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 and not increased from baseline, and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0. Mayo stool frequency subscore was determined on the average number of stools more than normal in 24 hours, score ranged from 0 (normal number of stools) to 3 (5 or more stools more than normal), higher score indicated more severity. Mayo rectal bleeding subscore ranged from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (blood alone passed), higher score indicated more severity.

Percentage of participants with endoscopic improvement at Week 24 was reported. Endoscopic improvement is defined as an endoscopy subscore of 0, or 1 with no friability present on the endoscopy. Mayo endoscopy subscore ranged from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 3 (severe disease), higher score indicated more severity.

Percentage of participants in clinical response at Week 24 was reported. Clinical response is defined as a decrease from baseline in the modified Mayo score by >= 30% and >=2 points, with either a >=1-point decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore or a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1. The modified Mayo scores consisted of 3 subscores: stool frequency, rectal bleeding and endoscopic subscore, each subscore graded from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe) with higher scores indicating more severe disease. These individual subscores were summed up to give a total modified Mayo score range of 0 (normal) to 9 (severe disease), where higher scores indicated more severe disease activity.
