The drug being tested in this study is called vedolizumab subcutaneous (vedolizumab SC). Vedolizumab SC is being tested to treat people who have moderate to severely active ulcerative colitis. This study will look at clinical remission as well as mucosal healing, durable clinical response, durable clinical remission, and corticosteroid free remission in participants with UC who receive vedolizumab SC maintenance therapy after having achieved a clinical response to vedolizumab IV induction therapy.
The study enrolled 383 patients. All participants will enter into a 6-week Induction Phase where they will be administered open-label vedolizumab IV 300 mg via intravenous infusion (IV) at Week 0 (Day 1) and Week 2 (Day 15), and will then be assessed for a clinical response at Week 6. Participants who achieve a clinical response at Week 6 will be randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups:
Vedolizumab SC 108 mg Q2W and Placebo IV Q8W Vedolizumab IV 300 mg Q8W and Placebo SC Q2W Placebo SC Q2W and Placebo IV Q8W
Participants who do not achieve a clinical response at Week 6 will not be randomized in to the Maintenance Period, and will receive a third infusion of vedolizumab IV 300 mg at Week 6.
This multi-center trial will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study is up to 71 weeks (up to 4 weeks of screening, 52 weeks of treatment and 18 weeks of safety follow-up). Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, plus a final visit 18 weeks after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment. Participants will also participate in a long-term safety follow-up, by phone, at 6 months after the last dose of study drug.
After the Week 52 assessments, participants meeting protocol-defined criteria were eligible to enroll in Study MLN0002SC-3030 (NCT02620046; Long-term Safety) to receive open-label vedolizumab treatment. Participants who withdrew early (prior to Week 52) due to sustained nonresponse, disease worsening, or the need for rescue medications may also have been eligible for Study MLN0002SC-3030. Participants who did not enroll into Study MLN0002SC-3030 were to complete a final on-study safety assessment at Week 68 (or final safety visit 18 weeks after the last dose) in the Maintenance Phase of Study MLN0002SC-3027.

- Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission at Week 52 [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]Clinical remission is defined as a complete Mayo score ≤ 2 points and no individual subscore > 1 point. The Mayo score is a standard assessment tool to measure ulcerative colitis disease activity in clinical trials. The index consists of 4 subscores: rectal bleeding, stool frequency, findings on endoscopy, and physician's global assessment. Each subscore is scored on a scale from 0 to 3 and the complete Mayo score ranges from 0 to 12 (higher scores indicate greater disease activity).
- Percentage of Participants Achieving Mucosal Healing at Week 52 [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]Mucosal healing is defined as Mayo endoscopic subscore ≤1 point. The findings on endoscopy scale ranges from 0 to 3, where 0=normal or inactive disease 1=mild disease (erythema, decreased vascular pattern, mild friability) 2=moderate disease (marked erythema, lack of vascular pattern, friability, erosions) 3=severe disease (spontaneous bleeding, ulceration).
- Percentage of Participants Achieving Durable Clinical Response at Week 6 and Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 6 and 52 ]Durable clinical response is defined as clinical response at both Weeks 6 and 52, where clinical response is defined as a reduction in complete Mayo score of ≥3 points and ≥30% from Baseline (Week 0) with an accompanying decrease in rectal bleeding subscore of ≥1 point or absolute rectal bleeding subscore of ≤1 point. The Mayo score is a standard assessment tool to measure ulcerative colitis disease activity in clinical trials. The index consists of 4 subscores: rectal bleeding, stool frequency, findings on endoscopy, and physician's global assessment. Each subscore is scored on a scale from 0 to 3 and the complete Mayo score ranges from 0 to 12 (higher scores indicate greater disease activity).
- Percentage of Participants Achieving Durable Clinical Remission at Week 6 and Week 52 [ Time Frame: Weeks 6 and 52 ]Durable clinical remission is defined as clinical remission at both Weeks 6 and 52. Clinical remission is defined as a complete Mayo score of less than or equal to (≤) 2 points and no individual subscore greater than (>) 1 point. The Mayo score is a standard assessment tool to measure ulcerative colitis disease activity in clinical trials. The index consists of 4 subscores: rectal bleeding, stool frequency, findings on endoscopy, and physician's global assessment. Each subscore is scored on a scale from 0 to 3 and the complete Mayo score ranges from 0 to 12 (higher scores indicate greater disease activity).
- Percentage of Participants Achieving Corticosteroid-free Remission at Week 52 [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]Corticosteroid-free remission is defined as participants using oral corticosteroids at Baseline (Week 0) who have discontinued oral corticosteroids and are in clinical remission at Week 52. Clinical remission is defined as a complete Mayo score of ≤ 2 points and no individual subscore > 1 point. The Mayo score is a standard assessment tool to measure ulcerative colitis disease activity in clinical trials. The index consists of 4 subscores: rectal bleeding, stool frequency, findings on endoscopy, and physician's global assessment. Each subscore is scored on a scale from 0 to 3 and the complete Mayo score ranges from 0 to 12 (higher scores indicate greater disease activity).
