Background summary
In this study, an investigational drug called MLN0002 will be tested to see if
it is effective in treating UC. MLN0002 is a monoclonal antibody and works by
attaching itself to a particular kind of white blood cell and reducing
inflammation. The term "monoclonal"refers to the fact that is produced in a
laboratory. MLN0002 is a new type of investigational drug that is being
developed by scientists at Millennium, the sponsor of this study. Please see
the protocol page 18 - 30 for a detailed background of this investigation.

Study design
Overview of Study Design:
This phase 3, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study in patients with
moderately to
severely active UC comprises two phases:
* The Induction Phase, designed to establish the efficacy and safety of MLN0002
for the
induction of clinical response and remission
* The Maintenance Phase, designed to establish the efficacy and safety of
MLN0002 for the
maintenance of clinical response and remission
The Induction Phase comprises patients who are enrolled in Cohorts 1
(randomized, blinded,
placebo-controlled study drug assignment) and 2 (open label MLN0002 treatment).
Patients
enrolled in Cohort 1 will be randomized 3:2 to receive either MLN0002 or
placebo at Week 0
(Day 1) and Week 2 (Day 15). Cohort 2 will be used to achieve the sample size
of responders to
MLN0002 induction treatment needed to power the efficacy endpoints for the
Maintenance Phase.
All patients enrolled in Cohort 2 will receive MLN0002 at Week 0 (Day 1) and
Week 2 (Day 15).
The analysis of the efficacy of MLN0002 for the induction of clinical response
and remission will
include data from Cohort 1 only.
After completing the Induction Phase, including the Week 6 pre-dose
assessments, all patients will
continue on to the Maintenance Phase. Those who received MLN0002 in the
Induction Phase and
achieved clinical response (as defined in the Study Definitions) at Week 6 will
be randomized
1:1:1 to receive MLN0002 every 4 weeks, MLN0002 every 8 weeks, or placebo, for
an additional
44 weeks. Patients who received MLN0002 in the Induction Phase but did not
achieve clinical
response at Week 6 will continue to receive MLN0002 every 4 weeks during the
Maintenance
Phase. Patients who received placebo in the Induction Phase will continue to
receive placebo.
Infusions during the Maintenance Phase will occur at 4-week intervals for all
patients.
The efficacy of MLN0002 for the maintenance of clinical response and remission
will be analyzed
based on data from patients who received MLN0002 in the Induction Phase and
achieved clinical
response (as defined in the Study Definitions) at Week 6. The analysis of the
safety of MLN0002
in the Maintenance Phase will be based on data from all patients, including
those who received
MLN0002 in the Induction Phase and did not achieve clinical response at Week 6
and those who
received placebo in the Induction and Maintenance Phases.
After the Week 52 assessments, patients may be eligible to enroll in Study
C13008 (Long-term
Safety) to receive active treatment with MLN0002. Patients withdrawn early due
to sustained
non-response, disease worsening, or the need for rescue medications may also be
eligible for
Study C13008. Patients who do not enroll into Study C13008 will complete the
final on-study
safety assessment at Week 66 (or Final Safety Visit). In addition, after the
end of the study, all
patients who do not enroll in Study C13008 will participate in a 2-year
follow-up survey.
Intervention
MLN0002 or Placebo will be administered every four weeks per infusion.
Induction phase:
- Cohort 1, randomisation between Placebo and MLN0002 (2:3)
- Corhort 2, open label MLN0002
Maintenance phase:
If treated with Placebo during Induction phase --> Treatment with Placebo
during maintenance phase (no randomisation)
If treated with MLN0002 during induction phase & clinical response after 6
weeks --> randomisation between placebo, MLN0002 every 4 weeks and MNL0002
every 8 weeks (1:1:1)
If treated with MLN0002 during induction phase AND no clinical response after 6
weeks --> MLN0002 every 4 weeks (no randomisation).
Study burden and risks
Common side effects from the study drug include headache, nausea, worsening of
UC, stomach pain and tiredness and common cold, which occur in approximately
10-29% of the patients. There is also a risk in developing an allergic reaction
towards MLN0002. Symptoms of an allergic reaction may include shortness of
breath, wheezing, dizziness, fainting, skin rash, hives, itching, lip or face
swelling, throat tightness and swallowing difficulties. Allergic reactions may
require treatment with medications. If a very severe allergic reaction does not
respond to treatment, it may result in death. In previous studies, three
patients who received MLN0002 developed allergic reactions during the infusion
of the study drug: however these reactions were easily treated.
