PATIENT ON 5-ASA WITH
INCOMPLETE RESPONSE

Stephen’s Background
  • Male, age 36; married with 2 young children
  • Wakes up early to use the bathroom before his commute and always packs a spare set of clothes for work travel
Stephen’s Medical History
  • Left-sided moderately active UC
  • Mayo endoscopy subscore=2
  • Abdominal pain and cramping, with about 6 loose stools per day and presence of blood
  • Currently on 5-ASAs; 1 tapering course of steroids (in the past year)
  • No history of cardiac or ophthalmic issues
Treatment Plan Considerations
  • Prefers oral therapy
  • Doesn’t have the time to spend in an infusion clinic between work and family commitments
At TRUE NORTH Study Baseline (N=645)1a:
  • 86% of patients had moderate disease (Mayo score 6–10)1
  • ~66% of patients were advanced therapy-naïve2
  • 33% of patients were taking concomitant oral steroids1
  • aClinical Trial: the efficacy and safety of ZEPOSIA were evaluated in 2 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies (UC Study 1 [induction] and UC Study 2 [maintenance]) in adult patients with moderately to severely active UC, defined as a Mayo score of 6 to 12 at baseline.1

  • Primary Endpoint of Clinical Remission Is Defined as: RBS=0, SFS=0 or 1 (and a decrease of ≥1 point from baseline SFS), and endoscopy subscore=0 or 1 without friability. At Week 10, 18% of patients taking ZEPOSIA achieved clinical remission vs 6% of patients taking placebo (p<0.0001). At Week 52, 37% of patients taking ZEPOSIA achieved clinical remission vs 19% of patients taking placebo (p<0.0001).1

  • Secondary Endpoint of Clinical Response Is Defined as: a reduction from baseline in the 3-component Mayo score of ≥2 and ≥35%, and a reduction from baseline in the RBS of ≥1 or an absolute RBS of 0 or 1.1

  • UC Study 1 (10-Week Induction): 645 patients were randomized 2:1 to either ZEPOSIA 0.92 mg given orally once daily or placebo for 10 weeks, beginning with a dosage titration. The trial included patients who had an inadequate response or were intolerant to any of the following: oral aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, or a biologic. Patients were required to be on stable doses of oral aminosalicylates and/or corticosteroids.1

  • UC Study 2 (42-Week Maintenance): 457 patients who received ZEPOSIA in either UC Study 1 or in an open-label arm and achieved clinical response at Week 10 were re-randomized 1:1 and were treated with either ZEPOSIA 0.92 mg (n=230) or placebo (n=227) for 42 weeks (UC Study 2), for a total of 52 weeks of treatment. Corticosteroid tapering was required upon entering this study for patients who were receiving corticosteroids during the induction period.1

5-ASA=5-aminosalicylic acid; RBS=rectal bleeding subscore; SFS=stool frequency subscore; UC=ulcerative colitis.
