Brief Summary

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

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of study drug (BCD-261) in comparison with placebo and to characterize the dose-response relationship in patients with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis. The study will be conducted in a population of male and female subjects ≥18 years and ≤75 years with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis and an inadequate response to prior treatment with glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, or biologics/targeted immunosuppressants.

Detailed Description

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

Subjects meeting the eligibility criteria will be randomized in 5 groups to receive one of four studied dosage regimens of BCD-261 or placebo. The study groups will differ in drug dosages of BCD-261 (low, medium, high) during the induction and maintenance periods of therapy. After the primary endpoint assessment subjects in placebo group will be switched to BCD-261 medium studied dose.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1\. Diagnosis of ulcerative colitis with involvement of the colon proximal to the rectum (≥15 cm from the distal edge of the anal canal), established ≥3 months before signing the ICF and confirmed by endoscopic examination data.

2\. Moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis with a modified Mayo score (mMS) of ≥4 and ≤9 points, which includes an endoscopic component of ≥2 points (according to a central independent review) and a stool blood score of ≥1 point.

3\. Inadequate response to therapy according to the investigator's assessment, manifested by at least one of the following signs:

1. Persistent symptoms of disease activity despite treatment with at least one course of glucocorticoids including prednisolone at a dose of ≥40 mg/day or equivalent or budesonide ≥9 mg/day or equivalent for at least 2 weeks with oral administration (at least 1 week with intravenous administration at a dose equivalent to oral prednisolone ≥40 mg/day).
2. Steroid dependence manifested by an increase in disease activity after initial improvement, with a decrease in the dose of glucocorticoids below the dose equivalent to 10 mg of oral prednisolone per day, within 3 months from the beginning of treatment, or a relapse of the disease within 3 months after the end of glucocorticoid use.
3. Persistent symptoms of disease activity despite treatment with at least one course of immunosuppressants (azathioprine at a dose of ≥2.0 mg/kg and/or 6-mercaptopurine at a dose of ≥1.0 mg/kg) for ≥12 weeks, or in response to another treatment regimen with these drugs according to a regional standard of care.
4. Primary lack of response to therapy with TNFa inhibitors and/or anti-integrins, and/or IL-12/23 inhibitors, and/or Janus kinase inhibitors, and/or sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulators, defined as the persistence of symptoms of disease activity despite at least one course of induction of remission according to a treatment scheme approved by the regional standard.
5. Loss of response to therapy with TNFa inhibitors and/or anti-integrins, and/or IL-12/23 inhibitors, and/or Janus kinase inhibitors, and/or sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulators, defined as the appearance of symptoms of disease activity after initial improvement as a result of treatment with at least one course of induction of remission and at least one course of maintenance of remission according to a treatment scheme approved by the regional standard.
