This is a multicenter, randomized study to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of ABX464 50mg and 25mg administered once daily (QD) as maintenance therapy in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have inadequate response, no response, a loss of response, or an intolerance to either conventional therapies [corticosteroids, immunosuppressant (i.e. azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, methotrexate)] and/or advanced therapies [biologics (TNF inhibitors, anti-integrins, anti-IL-23), and/or S1P receptor modulators, and/or JAK inhibitors].
This study is the maintenance phase of both previous induction studies ABX464-105 and ABX464-106.
All eligible subjects who have completed either one of the induction studies above mentioned, will be given the opportunity to take part in the present ABX464-107 maintenance study and will be randomized to either a double blind, placebo-controlled part (Part #1) or allocated to ABX464 50mg or 25mg open label treatment arms (Part #2) depending on their clinical response at the end of induction.
This study consists of a 44-week treatment phase and a 28-days follow-up period consisting in the End of Study (EOS) visit.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Ulcerative Colitis | Drug: ABX464 Drug: Placebo | Phase 3 |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 1050 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Among both induction studies, subjects assessed as responders will be randomized as follows in the maintenance study according to their induction treatment:
Non-responder subjects are expected to opt in the maintenance study part #2 after completion of the induction studies. They will be randomly allocated into the two open-label ABX464 dose levels.

Masking Description: | All eligible subjects will be randomized to either a double blind, placebo-controlled part (Part #1) or allocated to ABX464 50mg or 25mg open label treatment arms (Part #2) depending on their clinical response at the end of induction. |

- Rate of subjects in clinical remission [SFS = 0 or 1, RBS = 0 and endoscopy sub-score = 0 or 1 (friability is scored as 2)] at Week 44 [ Time Frame: Week 44 ]The study primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of ABX464 versus placebo on the proportion of subjects in clinical remission at Week 44.
- Proportion of subjects with endoscopic improvement (Mayo Endoscopic Subscore (MES) = 0 or 1) at Week 44 [ Time Frame: Week 44 ]To evaluate the efficacy of ABX464 versus placebo on endoscopic improvement.
- Proportion of subjects with symptomatic remission (SFS = 0 or 1 and RBS = 0) at Week 44 [ Time Frame: Week 44 ]To evaluate the efficacy of ABX464 versus placebo on symptomatic remission
- Proportion of subjects with corticosteroid-free clinical remission (clinical remission at Week 44 and corticosteroid free for at least 12 weeks prior to Week 44 in the subpopulation with corticosteroids at maintenance study entry) [ Time Frame: Week 44 ]To evaluate the efficacy of ABX464 versus placebo on corticosteroid-free clinical remission.
- Proportion of subjects with sustained clinical remission at Week 44 [ Time Frame: Week 44 ]To evaluate the efficacy of ABX464 versus placebo to sustain clinical remission.
- Proportion of subjects with HEMI per Geboes scoring at Week 44 [ Time Frame: Week 44 ]To evaluate the efficacy of ABX464 on histologic-endoscopic mucosal improvement (HEMI) versus placebo
- Proportion of subjects with endoscopic remission (MES = 0) at Week 44. [ Time Frame: Week 44 ]To evaluate the efficacy of ABX464 versus placebo on endoscopic remission.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects must have completed the induction treatment study (ABX464-105 or ABX464-106), and patients' clinical response status must be available.
- Subjects with a valid endoscopy performed at the end of the induction study and results from central reader available at Day 1.
- Subjects must understand, sign and date the written voluntary informed consent form at the visit prior to any protocol-specific procedures. For under-aged subjects, national requirements regarding consent should also be met.
