VELSIPITY was studied across 2 phase 3 trials1,2

ELEVATE UC 52 and ELEVATE UC 12 were randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in patients 16 to 80 years of age with moderately to severely active UC1,2

ELEVATE UC 52 and ELEVATE UC 12 were randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials2
Figure made by Pfizer based on reference 2

Co-primary endpoints: Clinical remission at week 12 (ELEVATE UC 52 and ELEVATE UC 12) and week 52 (ELEVATE UC 52)2

Primary efficacy analysis was done in patients with a baseline mMS† of 5 to 9 (ELEVATE UC 52: n=409; ELEVATE UC 12: n=334)1,2

In ELEVATE UC 52, patients whose disease had not improved or had worsened vs baseline (per investigator judgment), could discontinue treatment and, if objective disease worsening criteria were met (having an RB subscore ≥2 or an RB subscore and an SF subscore ≥4 at 2 time points ≥7 and ≤14 days apart), enroll in the OLE. In ELEVATE UC 12, at the end of week 12, patients could enroll in the OLE. In both trials, patients who did not enroll in the OLE entered a 4-week follow-up period, with visits at week 2 and at week 4.2Enrolled patients had a modified Mayo score (mMS) of 4 to 9 with an endoscopy score (ES) ≥2 and a rectal bleeding (RB) subscore ≥1.1OLE=open-label extension; R=randomization; RB=rectal bleeding; SF=stool frequency.

ELEVATE UC 52 used a treat-through trial design, which may more closely reflect clinical practice than a responder re-randomization trial.2

Learn about a treat-through trial design

The treat-through trial design of ELEVATE UC 52 may more accurately represent clinical practice2

A treat-through trial reflects outcomes for all patients who started therapy, not just those who responded during induction2

Figure made by Pfizer based on reference 2

Includes nonresponders and patients who respond late to treatment, representing real-world practice3

  • ELEVATE UC 52 was the first and only 52-week, phase 3 treat-through trial of an oral advanced therapy§ in UC2
  • In the treat-through trial design for ELEVATE UC 52, patients who did not respond during the 12-week induction period were still included in the week 52 analysis, rather than being ineligible for the maintenance period as in a responder re-randomization trial2
    • This design may more closely reflect clinical practice, as it allows for delayed responses in the maintenance period2
Figure made by Pfizer based on reference 3
  • In a re-randomization trial, induction responders are re-randomized for maintenance treatment; therefore, maintenance data only reflect potential outcomes for early responders, which may inflate efficacy data3
Based on clinician assessment.2§Advanced therapies include S1P receptor modulators, biologics, and JAK inhibitors.2Caution is advised when comparing clinical trials; head-to-head, randomized trials provide the most reliable comparative efficacy evidence.2R=randomized; RR=re-randomized.

Select inclusion and exclusion criteria for ELEVATE UC 52 and ELEVATE UC 121 Select inclusion criteria:

Patients 16 to 80 years of age with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC)* and a documented history of inadequate response, a loss of response, or an intolerance to ≥1 therapy approved for the treatment of UC

Patients with isolated proctitis at baseline (<10 cm rectal involvement) who met other eligibility criteria could enroll in both trials, with enrollment capped at 15% of total patients

Patients were allowed to receive concomitant treatment for UC before trial screening, provided they were on:

  • Stable doses of oral 5-ASAs 2 weeks before
  • Stable doses of corticosteroids (prednisone [≤20 mg/day], budesonide [≤9 mg/day], or equivalent) 4 weeks before
    • Investigators were directed to taper corticosteroids in ELEVATE UC 52 after the week 12 assessment
Select exclusion criteria:

Previous treatment with ≥3 biologics or ≥2 biologics + a JAK inhibitor

A high risk of requiring a colectomy in the next 3 months (per investigator)

A clinically relevant cardiac condition§

A history of opportunistic infections or macular edema Pregnancy or lactation
*In both trials, diagnosis of moderately to severely active UC was confirmed by endoscopy with ≥10 cm rectal involvement and on the basis of an mMS of 4 to 9 with a centrally read endoscopic subscore (ES) ≥2 and a rectal bleeding (RB) subscore ≥1.1Oral 5-ASAs, corticosteroids, thiopurines, JAK inhibitors, and biologics (eg, tumor necrosis factor [TNF] blockers, anti-integrins, and anti–interleukin [IL]-12 and anti–IL-23).2Enrollment of patients with isolated proctitis was capped at 15% of total population.1§A history of myocardial infarction, stroke, or second-degree or third-degree atrioventricular block.15-ASA=aminosalicylate; mMS=modified Mayo score.References:Sandborn WJ, Vermeire S, Peyrin-Biroulet L, et al.
