Study Summary

The main aim of this study is to learn if TAK-279 reduces bowel inflammation and symptoms compared to placebo. Another aim is to compare any medical problems that participants have when they take TAK-279 or placebo and how well the participants tolerate any problems. The participants will take capsules of either TAK-279 or placebo for up to 3 months (12 weeks). Then all the participants will receive TAK-279 for the rest of the treatment part of the study (1 year or 52 weeks). During the study, participants will visit their study clinic several times.

Primary Outcome

The mMS is a composite score of 3 assessments consisting of stool frequency (SF), rectal bleeding (RB), and endoscopic score (ES). Each component subscore ranges from 0 to 3 and total score range of the mMS is from 0 to 9, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Clinical remission is defined an mMS of ≤2 with SF subscore ≤ 1, RB subscore = 0, and ES ≤ 1 (score of 1 modified to exclude friability).
