Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Males and females, 18 years of age or older.
  • Diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (UC) verified by endoscopy within 60 months prior to consent.
  • Severe active disease, as defined by a Modified Truelove & Witts Severity Index (MTWSI; also known as Lichtiger score) ≥ 11 at consent, with a confirmatory MTWSI ≥ 10 on or after the fifth consecutive day of intravenous (IV)steroids and within 1 day prior to randomization.
  • Mayo score ≥ 10 and Mayo mucosal subscore ≥ 2 after a minimum of 3 consecutive days (ie, on or after the fourth consecutive day) of IV steroids.
  • Adequate contraception from the day of consent through 3 months after the last dose of study drug.
  • Negative serum pregnancy test.
  • Negative Clostridium difficile test.
  • Signed and dated informed consent and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) if applicable.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • UC requiring immediate intervention or toxic megacolon requiring imminent intervention.
  • History of total proctocolectomy, or subtotal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis.
  • Presence of Ileostomy.
  • White blood cell count less than 2.5 x 10^3/mcL; platelet count less than 150 x 10^3/mcL; or hemoglobin level less than 8 g/dL.
  • Active medically significant infections, particularly those of viral etiology, eg, known cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis. This includes any incidence of medically significant opportunistic infections within the past 12 months.
  • Live vaccination within 6 weeks prior to randomization.
  • Significant organ dysfunction, including cardiac, renal, liver, central nervous system (CNS), pulmonary, vascular, gastrointestinal, endocrine, or laboratory abnormality.
  • History of myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, or arrythmias within 6 months prior to consent.
  • History or treatment of lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) or malignancy within the past 5 years (excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix).
  • Seropositivity for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen, or hepatitis C virus (HCV).
  • Pregnancy or nursing.
  • Treatment with a first dose of infliximab or another anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α drug within 4 weeks of randomization, or treatment with a subsequent dose of an anti-TNF-α drug within 2 weeks of randomization.
  • Treatment with cyclosporine or tacrolimus (FK506) within 2 weeks prior to randomization.
  • Treatment with any other investigational drugs or therapies within 60 days prior to randomization, except those mentioned in the two exclusion criteria above.
  • Unable or willing to discontinue any UC drug (including, but not limited to 6-mercaptopurine, azathioprine, or methotrexate), except glucocorticoids or 5-ASA, immediately prior to randomization.
  • Nontherapeutic levels of chronic antiseizure medications in subjects with a prior history of seizures.
  • Any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, makes the subject unsuitable for study participation.
