Study on the Effectiveness and Safety of Risankizumab for Patients with Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis

3 1

What is this study about?

This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a medication called Risankizumab in people with Ulcerative Colitis. Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic condition that causes inflammation and sores in the lining of the large intestine. The study aims to evaluate how effective and safe Risankizumab is as a maintenance treatment for individuals with moderate to severe Ulcerative Colitis who have previously responded to an initial treatment with Risankizumab.

Participants in the study will receive either Risankizumab or a placebo. The study is divided into several parts. In the first part, the focus is on comparing Risankizumab with a placebo to see how well it works in maintaining the health of participants over a period of time. In the second part, the study will look at two different ways of adjusting the dose of Risankizumab to see which method is more effective. The third part of the study will continue to monitor the long-term safety of Risankizumab in participants who have completed the earlier parts of the study or who were unable to complete the final examination due to external factors like the COVID-19 pandemic or geopolitical issues.

The study will last for a total of 52 weeks, during which participants will be monitored for any changes in their condition. The goal is to see if Risankizumab can help maintain remission, which means the symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis are reduced or disappear. The study will also look at other factors like improvements in the lining of the intestine and overall quality of life. Participants will be closely observed to ensure their safety throughout the study.

1 joining the study

Participation begins after completing Study M16-067, including the final endoscopy. If the final endoscopy was not possible due to specific circumstances, enrollment in Sub-study 3 is allowed if a clinical response was achieved.

2 sub-study 1

This phase evaluates the effectiveness and safety of risankizumab compared to a placebo for maintaining treatment in individuals with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.

Participants receive risankizumab or a placebo intravenously as a solution for infusion.

3 sub-study 2

This phase assesses two different dosing strategies for risankizumab as maintenance therapy. The strategies include therapeutic drug monitoring and clinical assessment for dose escalation.

Participants receive risankizumab intravenously as a solution for infusion.

4 sub-study 3

This phase focuses on the long-term safety of risankizumab for those who completed Sub-study 1 or 2, or those who responded to the initial treatment but could not complete the final endoscopy due to specific circumstances.

Participants receive risankizumab subcutaneously as a solution for injection in a pre-filled syringe.

5 continued treatment extension (CTE)

This phase provides ongoing treatment with risankizumab for those who completed Sub-study 3, ensuring continuous care until the treatment is commercially available or accessible locally.

Participants continue to receive risankizumab subcutaneously as a solution for injection in a pre-filled syringe.

Trial locations

Investigated Drugs:

Risankizumab is a medication being studied for its effectiveness and safety in treating ulcerative colitis, a condition that causes inflammation and sores in the digestive tract. The trial is examining how well this medication works as a long-term treatment for people who have already shown improvement with initial treatment. The study also looks at different ways of adjusting the dosage to maintain the benefits of the medication. Additionally, the trial aims to ensure that patients can continue receiving the medication safely over an extended period.

Investigated Diseases:

Ulcerative Colitis – Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the colon and rectum. It is characterized by inflammation and ulceration of the innermost lining of the large intestine, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding. The disease often progresses with periods of exacerbation and remission, where symptoms may worsen and then improve. Over time, the inflammation can cause the colon to become less effective at absorbing water and nutrients, leading to further complications. The exact cause of ulcerative colitis is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve an abnormal immune response in the gut. Environmental factors, genetics, and an imbalance in gut bacteria may also play a role in its development.
