PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 12

Population: The Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population included all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of either TSO or placebo. Only mITT subjects with clinical response results at Week 12 are included in this analysis.

Clinical response is defined as a reduction in the Mayo score of at least 3 points and at least a 30% reduction from Baseline, along with either a decrease from Baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore of more than 1 point or a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1.

Population: The Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population included all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of either TSO or placebo. Only mITT subjects with baseline and at least one post-baseline modified clinical response result are included in this analysis.

Modified clinical response is defined as a reduction in the modified Mayo score (i.e., minus the endoscopy component) of at least 2 points from baseline.
