About this trial

The purpose of this protocol is to evaluate the efficacy (how well it works), safety and tolerability of oral icotrokinra as therapy in adult and adolescent participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC, a chronic disease of the large intestine in which the lining of the colon becomes inflamed and develops tiny open ulcers).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (UC) established at least 12 weeks before screening including both endoscopic evidence and a histopathology report consistent with a diagnosis of UC

Moderately to severely active UC, defined as a baseline (Week I-0) modified Mayo score of 5 to 9, inclusive, using the endoscopy subscore obtained during the central review of the screening video endoscopy

An endoscopy subscore greater than or equal to (>=) 2 as obtained during central review of the screening video endoscopy

Adolescent Participants: body weight must be >= 40 kilograms (kg) at baseline (Week I-0)

Disqualifiers

Participants with current known complications of UC such as fulminant colitis, toxic megacolon, or any other manifestation that might require colonic surgery while enrolled in the study

Presence of a stoma

Presence or history of a fistula

Colonic resection within 24 weeks before baseline or any other intra-abdominal or other major surgery performed within 12 weeks before baseline

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Double-blind (DB) Induction Study: Percentage of Adult Participants in Clinical Remission at Week I-12

Percentage of adult participants in clinical remission at Week I-12 will be reported. Clinical remission is defined as stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1, a rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and an endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1.

Time frame
At Week I-12
2

DB Maintenance Study: Percentage of Adult Participants in Clinical Remission at Week M-40

Percentage of adult participants in clinical remission at Week M-40 will be reported. Clinical remission is defined as stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1, a rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and an endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1.

Time frame
At Week M-40
3

Open-Label (OL) Maintenance Phase: Percentage of Adolescent Participants in Clinical Remission at Week M-40

Percentage of adolescent participants in clinical remission at Week M-40 will be reported. Clinical remission is defined as stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1, a rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and an endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1.

Time frame
At Week M-40

Secondary outcomes

1

DB Induction Study: Percentage of Adult Participants in Clinical Response at Week I-12

Percentage of adult participants in clinical response at Week I-12 will be reported. Clinical response is defined as a decrease from baseline in the modified Mayo score by greater than or equal to (\>=) 30 percent (%) and \>=2 points, with either a \>=1-point decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore or a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1.

Time frame
At Week I-12
2

DB Induction Study: Percentage of Adult Participants with Endoscopic Improvement at Week I-12

Percentage of adult participants with endoscopic improvement at Week I-12 will be reported. Endoscopic improvement is defined as an endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1.

Time frame
At Week I-12
3

DB Induction Study: Percentage of Adult Participants in Symptomatic Remission at Week I-12

Percentage of adult participants in symptomatic remission at Week I-12 will be reported. Symptomatic remission is defined as a stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0.

Time frame
At Week I-12
4

DB Induction Study: Percentage of Adult Participants with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) Remission at Week I-12

Percentage of adult participants with IBDQ remission at Week I-12 will be reported. IBDQ remission is defined as an IBDQ total score of \>= 170. The IBDQ is a validated, 32-item, self-reported questionnaire for participants with IBD that will be used to evaluate the disease-specific health related quality of life (HRQoL) across 4 dimensional scores: bowel symptoms (loose stools, abdominal pain), systemic symptoms (fatigue, altered sleep pattern), social function (work attendance, need to cancel social events), and emotional function (anger, depression, irritability). Scores range from 32 to 224, with higher scores indicating better outcomes.

Time frame
At Week I-12
