Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission at Week 12 [ Time Frame: At Week 12 ]
    Clinical remission was based on the modified Mayo score (MMS). The MMS is a composite score of 3 assessments consisting of participant-reported symptoms using daily eDiary and centrally read endoscopy: stool frequency (SF), rectal bleeding (RB) and endoscopic score (ES). Clinical remission was defined as SF subscore = 0 (or = 1 with a ≥ 1-point decrease from Baseline), RB subscore = 0, and ES ≤ 1 (excluding friability). Each component subscore ranged from 0 to 3 and total score range of the MMS was from 0 to 9, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission at Week 52 [ Time Frame: At Week 52 ]
    Clinical remission was based on the MMS which is a composite score of 3 assessments: SF, RB and ES. Clinical remission was defined as SF subscore = 0 (or = 1 with a ≥ 1-point decrease from Baseline), RB subscore = 0, and ES ≤ 1 (excluding friability). Each component subscore ranged from 0 to 3 and total score range of the MMS was from 0 to 9, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Endoscopic Improvement at Week 12 [ Time Frame: At Week 12 ]
    Endoscopic improvement was defined as an ES ≤ 1 (excluding friability). The ES ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = normal/inactive disease and 3 = severe disease).

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving Endoscopic Improvement at Week 52 [ Time Frame: At Week 52 ]
    Endoscopic improvement was defined as an ES ≤ 1 (excluding friability). The ES ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = normal/inactive disease and 3 = severe disease).

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving Symptomatic Remission at Week 12 [ Time Frame: At Week 12 ]
    Symptomatic remission was defined as an SF subscore = 0 (or = 1 with a ≥ 1-point decrease from Baseline) and RB subscore = 0. The SF subscore ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = normal number of stools and 3 = at least 5 stools more than normal) and RB subscore ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = no blood and 3 = blood alone passes). Higher scores indicate more severe disease.

  4. Percentage of Participants Achieving Symptomatic Remission at Week 52 [ Time Frame: At Week 52 ]
    Symptomatic remission was defined as an SF subscore = 0 (or = 1 with a ≥ 1-point decrease from Baseline) and RB subscore = 0. The SF subscore ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = normal number of stools and 3 = at least 5 stools more than normal) and RB subscore ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = no blood and 3 = blood alone passes). Higher scores indicate more severe disease.

    Mucosal healing was defined as an ES ≤ 1 (excluding friability) with histologic remission measured by a Geboes Index score < 2.0. The ES ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = normal/inactive disease and 3 = severe disease). The Geboes score grading system is a validated score for evaluating histologic disease activity in UC as follows: grade 0 = structural and architectural changes; grade 1 = chronic inflammatory infiltrate; grade 2 = lamina propria neutrophils and eosinophils; grade 3 = neutrophils in the epithelium; grade 4 = crypt destruction; grade 5 = erosions or ulceration. A higher Geboes score indicates more severe disease.

  6. Percentage of Participants With Mucosal Healing at Week 52 [ Time Frame: At Week 52 ]
    Mucosal healing was defined as an ES ≤ 1 (excluding friability) with histologic remission measured by a Geboes Index score < 2.0. The ES ranged from 0 to 3 (where 0 = normal/inactive disease and 3 = severe disease).
