Notes

Study is active: patients are being recruited

NCT02171429

Trial name or title

Phase III, randomized, double‐blind, double‐dummy, placebo‐controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy (induction and remission) and safety of etrolizumab compared with adalimumab and placebo in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis in patients who are naive to TNF inhibitors (Study #2)

Methods

Patients were randomized to one of three treatment groups: experimental (etrolizumab and adalimumab placebo), active comparator (etrolizumab placebo and adalimumab) or placebo comparator (etrolizumab placebo and adalimumab placebo) for 8 weeks

Participants

˜350 patients

Inclusion Criteria:

Males and females between 18 to 80 years of age with moderate to severe UC (determined by MCS) who are naive to anti‐TNF therapy

Previous inadequate response to or intolerance of corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressant drugs

Interventions

Goup 1 (experimental): SC etrolizumab 105 mg every 4 weeks, plus SC adalimumab placebo at weeks 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8

Group 2 (active comparator): SC adalimumab 160 mg administered SC at Week 0; 80 mg administered SC at Week 2; 40 mg SC at Weeks 4, 6 and 8, plus SC etrolizumab placebo every 4 weeks

Group 3: SC adalimumab placebo at weeks 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8, plus SC etrolizumab placebo every 4 weeks

Outcomes

Primary outcome: induction of remission compared with placebo (determined by the MCS)
Secondary outcome: Induction of remission compared with adalimumab (determined by MCS)

*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
CI: Confidence interval; RR: Risk ratio;

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

1 Control group risk estimates come from control arm of meta‐analysis, based on included trials.

3 Downgraded one level due to sparse data (51 events).
