A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Golimumab in Pediatric Participants With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis

Percentage of participants with clinical remission at Week 6 as assessed by the Mayo score was reported. Clinical remission was defined as a Mayo score of less than or equal to (<=) 2 point, with no individual sub-score greater than (>) 1. The Mayo score was sum of 4 sub-scores (that is, stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopic findings, and physician's global assessment); each rated on a scale from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. The total score was calculated as the sum of the 4 sub scores and values ranged from 0 to 12. A score of 3 to 5 points indicated mildly active disease; a score of 6 to 10 indicated moderately active disease; and a score of 11 to 12 indicated severe disease.

Percentage of participants with symptomatic remission at Week 54 was reported. Symptomatic remission was defined as a Mayo stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 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 clinical remission at Week 54 was reported. Clinical remission was defined as a Mayo score <= 2 points, with no individual subscore >1. The Mayo score was the sum of 4 sub-scores (that is, stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopic findings, and physician's global assessment); each rated on a scale from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. The total score was calculated as the sum of the 4 sub scores and values ranged from 0 to 12. A score of 3 to 5 points indicated mildly active disease; a score of 6 to 10 indicated moderately active disease; and a score of 11 to 12 indicated severe disease.

Percentage of participants with clinical remission at Week 54 as assessed by PUCAI score was reported. Clinical remission as measured by the PUCAI score was a PUCAI score <10. PUCAI score was intended for pediatric participants with UC. PUCAI consisted of the following 6 subscores with scores as: abdominal pain (no pain =0, pain can be ignored =5, pain cannot be ignored =10); rectal bleeding (none =0, small amount only [in less than 50 percent (%) of stools] =10, small amount with most stools =20, large amount [>50% of the stool content] =30); stool consistency of most stools (formed =0, partially formed =5, completely unformed =10); number of stools per 24 hours (0-2 =0, 3-5 =5, 6-8 =10, >8 =15); nocturnal bowel movement (no =0, yes =10); activity level (no limitation of activity =0, occasional limitation of activity =5, severely restricted activity =10). PUCAI score = sum of scores of 6 items; score range of 0= no severity to 85= extreme severity.

Percentage of participants with clinical remission at Week 6 as assessed by PUCAI score was reported. Clinical remission as measured by the PUCAI score was a PUCAI score <10. PUCAI score was intended for pediatric participants with UC. PUCAI consisted of the following 6 subscores with scores as: abdominal pain (no pain =0, pain can be ignored =5, pain cannot be ignored =10); rectal bleeding (none =0, small amount only [in less than 50% of stools] =10, small amount with most stools =20, large amount [>50% of the stool content] =30); stool consistency of most stools (formed =0, partially formed =5, completely unformed =10); number of stools per 24 hours (0-2 =0, 3-5 =5, 6-8 =10, >8 =15); nocturnal bowel movement (no =0, yes =10); activity level (no limitation of activity =0, occasional limitation of activity =5, severely restricted activity =10). PUCAI score = sum of scores of 6 items; score range of 0= no severity to 85= extreme severity.

Clinical response was defined as a decrease from baseline in the Mayo score by >= 30% and >= 3 points, with either a decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore of >= 1 or a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1. The Mayo score was the sum of 4 sub-scores (that is, stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopic findings, and physician's global assessment); each rated on a scale from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. The total score was calculated as the sum of the 4 sub scores and values ranged from 0 to 12. A score of 3 to 5 points indicated mildly active disease; a score of 6 to 10 indicated moderately active disease; and a score of 11 to 12 indicated severe disease.

Percentage of participants with endoscopic healing at Week 6 as assessed by the Mayo score was reported. Endoscopic healing was defined by an endoscopy subscore of the Mayo score of 0 or 1 based on local endoscopy. The Mayo score was the sum of 4 sub-scores (that is, stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopic findings, and physician's global assessment); each subscore rated on a scale from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe), with higher scores indicating more severe disease. The total score was calculated as the sum of the 4 sub scores and values ranged from 0 to 12. A score of 3 to 5 points indicated mildly active disease; a score of 6 to 10 indicated moderately active disease; and a score of 11 to 12 indicated severe disease.

Percentage of participants with endoscopic healing at Week 54 as assessed by the Mayo score was reported. Endoscopic healing is defined as an endoscopy subscore of the Mayo score of 0 or 1 based on local endoscopy. The Mayo score was the sum of 4 sub-scores (that is, stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopic findings, and physician's global assessment); each subscore rated on a scale from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe), with higher scores indicating more severe disease. The total score was calculated as the sum of the 4 sub scores and values ranged from 0 to 12. A score of 3 to 5 points indicated mildly active disease; a score of 6 to 10 indicated moderately active disease; and a score of 11 to 12 indicated severe disease.

Percentage of participants with clinical remission at Week 54 as assessed by the Mayo score for participants who were in clinical remission at week 6 was reported. Clinical remission was defined as a Mayo score <=2 points, with no individual subscore >1. The Mayo score was the sum of 4 sub-scores (that is, stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopic findings, and physician's global assessment); each rated on a scale from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. The total score was calculated as the sum of the 4 sub scores and values ranged from 0 to 12. A score of 3 to 5 points indicated mildly active disease; a score of 6 to 10 indicated moderately active disease; and a score of 11 to 12 indicated severe disease.

Percentage of participants who were not receiving corticosteroids for at least 12 weeks prior to Week 54 and in clinical remission at week 54 was reported. Clinical remission was defined as a Mayo score <=2 points, with no individual subscore >1. The Mayo score was the sum of 4 sub-scores (that is, stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopic findings, and physician's global assessment); each rated on a scale from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. The total score was calculated as the sum of the 4 sub scores and values ranged from 0 to 12. A score of 3 to 5 points indicated mildly active disease; a score of 6 to 10 indicated moderately active disease; and a score of 11 to 12 indicated severe disease.
