Study Summary

The purpose of this protocol is to evaluate the efficacy of tulisokibart in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Study 1's primary hypotheses are that at least 1 tulisokibart dose level is superior to Placebo in the proportion of participants achieving clinical remission according to the Modified Mayo Score at Week 12, and that at least 1 tulisokibart dose level is superior to Placebo in the proportion of participants achieving clinical remission according to the Modified Mayo Score at week 52. Study 2's primary hypothesis is that at least 1 tulisokibart dose level is superior to Placebo in the proportion of participants achieving clinical remission according to the Modified Mayo Score at Week 12.

Primary Outcome

The Modified Mayo Score (MMS) is a composite score of ulcerative colitis (UC) disease activity on a scale of increasing severity from 0-9, calculated by summing three subscores: Endoscopic subscore (ES), scored on a scale of increasing severity from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 3 (severe disease, such as spontaneous bleeding or ulceration); Stool frequency subscore (SFS), scored on a scale of increasing frequency from 0 (normal number of stools) to 3 (≥5 stools more than normal per day for
