A Phase 3 trial program involving 3 studies, U-ACHIEVE Induction (N=473) and U-ACCOMPLISH (N=515), and 1 maintenance study, U-ACHIEVE Maintenance (N=451). The clinical trials evaluated RINVOQ 45mg vs placebo for induction, and RINVOQ 15mg and 30mg vs placebo for maintenance treatment.*1,2  Patients in clinical remission (aMs 5–9 with centrally assessed endoscopic subscore of 2–3) at Week 0 of the LTE study/Week 52 of maintenance entered the U-ACTIVATE long-term extension study (LTE).3

*Patients who achieved clinical response per adapted Mayo score with 8-week RINVOQ 45 mg QD induction treatment entered maintenance.

Induction studies U-ACHIEVE (UC-1) and U-ACCOMPLISH (UC-2) were replicate multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies. Week 8 responders per aMs from both UC-1 and UC-2 were pooled and entered the U-ACHIEVE maintenance study (UC-3) and were re-randomised 1:1:1 to receive RINVOQ 15mg, RINVOQ 30mg or placebo for up to 52 weeks.

RINVOQ ACHIEVEMENT OF CLINICAL REMISSION

AT WEEK 48 OF THE LTE3

Clinical response and remission endpoints achieved with RINVOQ 15 mg QD and 30 mg QD after the 52-week maintenance study2 were sustained through Week 48 of the LTE study (no statistical analyses were conducted between doses)3

aAdapted Mayo score ≤2, with stool frequency subscore ≤1 and not greater than baseline, RBS=0, and ESS ≤1.
bPartial Mayo score ≤2, with no subscore >1.
cDecrease in Adapted Mayo score ≥2 points and ≥30% from baseline, plus a decrease in RBS ≥1 or an absolute RBS ≤1.
dNo imputation for missing values; patients who did not have an evaluation at Week 48 were excluded.
eaMs 5–9 with centrally assessed endoscopic subscore of 2–3 at Week 0 of the LTE study/Week 52 of maintenance.

Patients who completed the U-ACHIEVE maintenance study analysed entered the LTE study if they were in clinical remission (adapted Mayo Score [aMs] 5–9 with centrally assessed endoscopic subscore of 2–3) at Week 0 of the LTE study/Week 52 of maintenance and continued the same dose of RINVOQ. Patients not in remission at Week 52 of maintenance (U-ACHIEVE) underwent dose escalation and were not analysed. Patients who underwent dose escalation or de-escalation at Week 48 of the LTE study were also excluded from this LTE analysis.

AE: adverse event; AESI: adverse event of special interest; aMs: adapted Mayo score; CI: confidence interval; CPK: creatine phosphokinase; ESS: endoscopic subscore; GI: gastrointestinal; ITT: intention to treat; LTE, long-term extension; MACE: major adverse cardiac event; NMSC: non-melanoma skin cancer; NRI-C: non-responder imputation incorporating multiple imputations to handle missing data due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); paMs: partial adapted Mayo score; QD: once-daily; RBS: rectal bleeding score; TEAE: treatment-emergent adverse event; UC: ulcerative colitis; URTI: upper respiratory tract infection; VTE: venous thromboembolism.
