Ulcerative Colitis (UC) | Drug: TD-1473 Dose A Drug: TD-1473 Dose B Drug: TD-1473 Dose C Drug: Placebo | Phase 2 Phase 3 |
This protocol consists of 3 separate studies: an 8-week Phase 2b dose-finding induction study, an 8-week dose-confirming Phase 3 induction study, and a 44-week Phase 3 maintenance study. Subjects who respond to induction will enter the maintenance study; those who do not will receive TD-1473 during extended induction. The safety and efficacy data of the Phase 2b study will be analyzed to select the induction and maintenance dose regimens for the confirmatory Phase 3 studies. Participants who have disease relapse or complete the maintenance study may be eligible to enter a separate long-term safety study. Efficacy, pharmacokinetic, biomarkers, and safety will be evaluated in all 3 studies.
240 subjects are planned for the Phase 2b and the planned Primary Completion Date for this portion of the study is JULY 2021. 640 subjects are planned for the Phase 3 portion of the study.

Experimental: Active Treatment TD-1473 Dose A
Participants will be randomized to receive an oral daily dose of TD-1473. Responders will be re-randomized into the Phase 3 Maintenance portion of the study. Non-responders may participate in an extended induction.

Drug: TD-1473 Dose A
See Arm description |
Experimental: Active Treatment TD-1473 Dose B
Participants will be randomized to receive an oral daily dose of TD-1473. Responders will be re-randomized into the Phase 3 Maintenance portion of the study. Non-responders may participate in an extended induction.

Drug: TD-1473 Dose B
See Arm description |
Experimental: Active Treatment TD-1473 Dose C
Participants will be randomized to receive an oral daily dose of TD-1473. Responders will be re-randomized into the Phase 3 Maintenance portion of the study. Non-responders may participate in an extended induction.

Drug: TD-1473 Dose C
See Arm description |
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Participants will be randomized to receive an oral daily dose of placebo. Participants who received Placebo (and were non-responders) may move to an extended induction. Subjects who are on placebo will be assigned to active TD-1473 for the extended induction (they will be blinded to dose).

- Change From Baseline in Total Mayo Score (tMS) at Week 8 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 8 ]Total Mayo Score (tMS) was calculated as the sum of four components: rectal bleeding (0-3), stool frequency (0-3), physician's global assessment (0-3) and Mayo endoscopic subscore (0-3). tMS was reported as a 0-12 point score with 12 reflecting the highest severity.
- Phase 3 Maintenance: Number of Participants Who Demonstrated Clinical Remission by Adapted Mayo Score Components at Maintenance Week (mWeek) 44 [ Time Frame: mWeek 44 ]
Clinical remission by Adapted Mayo score was defined based on Adapted Mayo score components within specific ranges: stool frequency score of 0 or 1, a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 and a Mayo endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1.
The Adapted Mayo score was the sum of three components: rectal bleeding, stool frequency, and Mayo endoscopic subscore, each measured on a scale of 0-3 with higher scores reflecting higher severity.
Participants with missing Week 44 values were imputed as non-responders.
- Number of Participants Who Demonstrated Clinical Remission by Adapted Mayo Score Components at Week 8 [ Time Frame: Week 8 ]
Clinical remission by Adapted Mayo score was defined based on Adapted Mayo score components within specific ranges: stool frequency score of 0 or 1, a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 and a Mayo endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1.
The Adapted Mayo score was the sum of three components: rectal bleeding, stool frequency, and Mayo endoscopic subscore, each measured on a scale of 0-3 with higher scores reflecting higher severity.
- Phase 3 Maintenance: Number of Participants Who Demonstrated a Clinical Response by Adapted Mayo Score Components at mWeek 44 [ Time Frame: Baseline to mWeek 44 ]
Clinical response was defined as a reduction from baseline in adapted Mayo score of ≥ 2 points and ≥ 30% relative to baseline. It also required ≥ 1 reduction in the rectal bleeding subscore or an absolute subscore ≤ 1.
The Adapted Mayo score was the sum of three components: rectal bleeding, stool frequency, and Mayo endoscopic subscore, each measured on a scale of 0-3 with higher scores reflecting higher severity.
Participants with missing Week 44 values were imputed as non-responders.
- Phase 3 Maintenance: Number of Participants Who Demonstrated Endoscopic Remission by Adapted Mayo Score Components at mWeek 44 [ Time Frame: mWeek 44 ]
Endoscopic remission was defined as an endoscopic subscore ≤ 1.
Endoscopic subscore was measured using scale of 0-3, where higher numbers reflected greater severity.
- Phase 3 Maintenance: Number of Participants Who Demonstrated Symptomatic Remission by Adapted Mayo Score Components at mWeek 44 [ Time Frame: mWeek 44 ]
Symptomatic remission was defined as a stool frequency score ≤ 1 and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0.
Stool frequency score and rectal bleeding score were each measured using scale of 0-3, where higher numbers reflected greater severity.
Participants with missing Week 44 values were imputed as non-responders.
