Study Phase

Phase 2


Intervention(s) planned

• Study site is Colombo North Teaching Hospital, Ragama

• Subjects will be randomized to two arms

  • Active arm treated with filgotinib
  • Control arm treated with placebo (This is a tablet without active ingredient filgotinib).

• Investigational product [Active Filgotinib/Placebo (tablet without filgotinib)] is a 200mg tablet and is to be administered orally by subject once daily.

• Subject will be evaluated every 13 weeks for ulcerative colitis based on the partial Mayo Clinic score.

• During week 13 if the subject is not responding to the blinded investigational product, treatment will be un-blinded and patient will be switched to open label active Filgotinib treatment.

• During week 26 onwards if the subject is not responding to the blinded Investigational product (Filgotinib/Placebo) subject will be offered the option to enter the Long Term Extension phase of the study and will receive open label active Filgotinib.

• Subjects adequately responding (as per Mayo score evaluation) to the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) will continue to be treated with filgotinib/ placebo.

• If worsening of disease is observed, subject will be withdrawn from the study.

• Semen analysis is to be performed in subjects every 13 weeks. The subject will continue to administer Filgotinib/Placebo until 50% decrease in sperm concentration is observed compared to baseline value.

• Subject will be withdrawn from the study if >50% decrease of sperm concentration is observed and will be followed up during the monitoring phase till reversibility in sperm concentration is observed

• Subject in both arms are allowed to continue with the following standard management, provided the subjects are on stable doses of treatment. The dose of the below medications should be same once the subject is enrolled in the study untill the subject starts taking the study drug. - 5-aminosalicylate (5-ASA) except sulfasalazine - Azathioprine, 6-MP ( Mercaptopurine), or MTX (methotrexate) - Corticosteroid therapy (prednisone prescribed at a stable dose <20 mg/day or budesonide prescribed at a stable dose of <9 mg/day)

  4. Having moderate to severe active UC


Exclusion criteria

  5. Active tuberculosis (TB) or history of latent TB that has not been treated

  6. Use of concomitant prohibited medications as outlined by protocol section 5.3.2



Primary outcome(s)

1.

Proportion of participants with a >50% decrease in sperm concentration compared to baseline

[

At 13 weeks after initiating the intervention

]

Secondary outcome(s)

1.
  1. The proportion of subjects with a >50% decrease from baseline in sperm concentration

  2. Change from baseline in percent motile sperm

  3. Change from baseline in total sperm count

  4. Change from baseline in sperm concentration

  5. Change from baseline in ejaculate volume

  6. Change from baseline in percent normal sperm morphology

[
  • Proportion of participants with a >50% decrease in sperm concentration compared to baseline will be measured at 26 weeks form initiating the intervention

  • All other parameters will be measured at 13 and 26 weeks of initiating the intervention
