Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is designed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of infliximab in adult patients with active ulcerative colitis. The purpose of this study is to see if the symptoms of ulcerative colitis are lessened with this medication infliximab, and what dose is needed to do that safely.Patients will receive infusions of either 5 or 10 mg/kg or placebo at weeks 0, 2, 6, 14, and 22 up to week 164. Safety evaluations will be performed at specified intervals throughout the study and will consist of laboratory tests, vital signs (such as blood pressure), physical examinations and the occurrence and severity of adverse events as well as other study specific procedures.

Patients will receive infusions (into the vein) of either 5 or 10 mg/kg or placebo at weeks 0, 2, 6, and every 8 weeks up to week 164.
