The Mayo score ranges from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 12 (severe disease) and is calculated as the sum of 4 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopy, and physician's global assessment \[PGA\]), each of which ranges from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe disease). A negative change in Mayo score indicates improvement.

Population: participants with an assessment at given time point

The endoscopist evaluated each observed segment of the colon (rectum, sigmoid, descending colon, transverse colon, ascending colon/cecum) by using the classification as follows: 0=Normal or inactive disease; 1=Mild disease (erythema, decreased vascular pattern, mild friability); 2=Moderate disease (marked erythema, absent vascular pattern, friability, erosions); 3=Severe disease (spontaneous bleeding, ulceration).

Timeframe: Weeks 4, 8, 16, 24, 52, when discontinued (up to Week 52), at final assessment (up to Week 52)

Population: participants with an assessment at given time point

The Partial Mayo score (Mayo score without endoscopy) ranges from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 9 (severe disease) and is calculated as the sum of 3 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding and physician's global assessment \[PGA\]), each of which ranges from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe disease). A negative change in Partial Mayo score indicates improvement.
