Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Researchers want to learn more about tulisokibart (also known as MK-7240) in an extension study. Tulisokibart is a medicine designed to treat active, moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). An extension study is a type of study where people who received tulisokibart in certain other studies for CD or UC (called a parent study) may be able to join this study. The goals of this study are to learn about the safety of tulisokibart over time in people with CD or UC, and if people tolerate it.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This extension study will enroll participants who choose to enter from certain studies in which they are already receiving treatment (their "parent studies"). They will enter the appropriate arm in this study that will provide the same treatment they had been receiving on their parent study.

QUADRUPLE

Participants Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
Participants in "Group 1: Low Dose Unblinded" and "Group 2: High Dose Unblinded" received open-label treatment on their parent studies, and will remain unblinded on this extension study.

Participants in "Group 3: High Dose Blinded" and "Group 4: Low Dose Blinded" were all blinded on their parent studies, and will remain blinded on this extension study until after regulatory approval or market authorization in the United States or European Medicines Agency, per sponsor discretion.

* A participant of childbearing potential (POCBP) is not pregnant and has a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum) as required by local regulations within 24 hours (for a urine test) or 72 hours (for a serum test) before the first dose of study intervention
* A POCBP uses an acceptable contraceptive method, or adheres to penile-vaginal intercourse abstinence as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis)

Exclusion Criteria
