The composite score was a recommended measure consisted of the Mayo score without the physician global assessment (PGA) sub-score and ranged from 0 to 9 points. The Mayo score was a measure of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) disease activity. It ranged from 0 to 12 points and consisted of 4 sub-scores, each graded from 0 to 3 with higher scores indicating more severe disease. The sub-scores were stool frequency (0-3); rectal bleeding (0-3); findings of endoscopy (0-3); PGA (0-3).

    - Participants with evidence of active or latent infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) or participants with this history who have not completed a generally accepted full course of treatment before randomization are excluded. All other participants must have either the Mantoux (purified protein derivative [PPD]) tuberculin skin test or interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) performed.

Participants who have no history of previously diagnosed active or latent tuberculosis are excluded if they have a positive Mantoux (PPD) tuberculin skin test (ie >=5 millimeter [mm] induration) or a positive IGRA (the latter to be tested at the site's local laboratory) during screening or within 12 weeks before screening. If IGRA test cannot be performed locally, a central laboratory may be used, with prior agreement from the sponsor.

Documentation of IGRA product used and the test result must be in the participant's source documentation if performed locally. Acceptable IGRA products include QuantiFERON TB Gold Plus In-Tube Test.
  2. If the results of the IGRA are indeterminate, the test may be repeated, and if a negative result is obtained, enrollment may proceed. In participants with no history of treated active or latent tuberculosis, a positive test on repeat will exclude the participant. Participants with a history of active or latent TB infection must follow instructions for "participants with a prior diagnosis of active or latent TB are excluded unless both of the following criteria are met" in this criterion.
  3. Participants with repeat indeterminate IGRA results, with no prior TB history, may be enrolled after consultation with a pulmonary or infectious disease specialist who determines low risk of infection (ie, participant would be acceptable for immunosuppressant [eg, anti-TNF] treatment without additional action). This consultation must be included in source documentation.

Results from a chest x-ray, taken within the 12 weeks before or during screening must show no abnormalities suggestive of active TB infection as determined by a qualified medical specialist.

Participants with a prior diagnosis of active or latent TB are excluded unless both of the following criteria are met:

Participants from regions with higher rates of primary multidrug TB resistance are excluded) or active (acceptable multidrug regimen) TB infection. Evidence of diagnosis and treatment must be included in source documentation. Consultation with a pulmonary or infectious disease specialist to confirm adequate treatment (ie, participant would be acceptable for immunosuppressant [eg, anti-TNF] treatment without additional action) must be performed during the screening period. The consultation report must be included in source documentation prior to enrollment.
  2. A chest x-ray performed within 12 weeks before or during screening indicates no evidence of active or recurrent disease, and documentation of interpretation by a qualified medical specialist must be included in source documentation.

    • Participants with a pre-existing demyelinating disorder such as multiple sclerosis or new onset seizures, unexplained sensory motor, or cognitive behavioral, neurological deficits, or significant abnormalities noted during screening.

  1. Any major illness/condition or evidence of an unstable clinical condition (eg, renal, hepatic, hematologic, gastrointestinal (except disease under study), endocrine, cardiovascular, pulmonary, immunologic [eg, Felty's syndrome], or local active infection/infectious illness) that, in the investigator's judgment will substantially increase the risk to the participant if he or she participates in the study.
  2. Cancer or history of cancer or lymphoproliferative disease within the previous 5 years (other than resected cutaneous basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix that has been treated with no evidence of recurrence).
  3. Presence of acute coronary syndrome (eg, acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris) within 24 weeks before screening.
  4. History of significant cerebrovascular disease within 24 weeks before screening.

    • Participants who have had significant trauma or major surgery within 4 weeks before the screening visit, or with any major elective surgery scheduled to occur during the study.
    • Participants with evidence of cirrhosis with or without decompensation.
    • Participants with primary sclerosing cholangitis.
    • Participants with evidence of positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb).

Note: If a participant tests negative for HBsAg, but positive for hepatitis B virus (HBcAb), the participant would be considered eligible if no presence of HBV DNA is confirmed by HBV DNA polymerasechainreaction(PCR) reflex testing performed in the central laboratory.

- Participants with chronic hepatitis C (HCV) (positive HCVAb and HCVRNA). Note: Participants who are HCVAb positive without evidence of HCVRNA may be considered eligible (spontaneous viral clearance or previously treated and cured [defined as no evidence of HCV RNA at least 12 weeks prior to baseline]).

- Participants with any of the following abnormalities in hematology and/or serum chemistry profiles during screening.

Note: Screening laboratory tests, if the results are considered by the investigator to be transient and inconsistent with the participant's clinical condition, may be repeated once during the screening period for confirmation. Results must be reviewed for eligibility prior to the screening endoscopy procedure.

  1. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels >=3.0×upper limit of normal (ULN).
  2. Total bilirubin level >=1.5×ULN or >2.0×ULN if the participant has a known documented history of Gilbert's syndrome.
  3. Hemoglobin level <=80 gram per liter (g/L) (8.0 gram per deciliter [g/dL]).
  4. Platelet count <=100×10^9 per liter (/L) (100,000 cells per cubic millimeter [mm^3]) or >=1000×10^9/L (1,000,000 cells/mm^3).
  5. White blood cell count <=3.5×10^9/L (3500 cells/mm^3). - Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)<2×10^9/L (2000 cells/mm^3).

    • Serum creatinine level >1.5 × ULN or estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 ml/min/1.73m^2 based on the abbreviated Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study Equation.

Note: If platelet count is <150,000 cells/mm^3, a further evaluation should be performed to rule out cirrhosis, unless another etiology has already been identified.

- Participants with known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection based on documented history, with positive serological test, or positive HIV serologic test at screening, tested at the site's local laboratory in accordance with country requirements or tested at the central laboratory.

Note: A documented negative HIV test within 6 months of screening is acceptable and does not need to be repeated.

- Participants who have, or who have a history of (within 2 years before screening), serious psychiatric disease, alcohol dependency, or substance/drug abuse or dependency of any kind, including abuse of medical marijuana (cannabis).

- Participants with any other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory or electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study.

  • Female participants who are planning to become pregnant during study period.
  • Participants who do not agree to postpone donation of any organ or tissue, including male participants who are planning to bank or donate sperm and female participants who are planning to harvest or donate eggs, for the duration of the study and through 16 weeks after last dose of investigational product.
  • Participants who are investigational site staff members or relatives of those site staff members or Participants who are Shire employees directly involved in the conduct of study.
