OLE Study Design: The TRUE NORTH OLE is an ongoing trial that enrolled participants who were nonresponders at the end of induction, experienced disease relapse during maintenance, or completed maintenance treatment in the Phase 3 TRUE NORTH study or remained at study closure and received once-daily oral ZEPOSIA 0.92 mg in the Phase 2 TOUCHSTONE OLE. A total of 823 patients from TRUE NORTH entered the TRUE NORTH OLE as of the cut-off date (September 30, 2020). Mean ZEPOSIA exposure in the OLE was 1.5 years.3,4 For full study design, click here.

Clinical remission, clinical response, endoscopic improvement, and CS-free remission were evaluated at Week 46 for all patients who entered the OLE from the TRUE NORTH parent study and in a subset of patients in clinical remission at Week 52 and had continuous ZEPOSIA exposure.2,3

Data were analyzed in the ITT population using OC and NRI. OC used the number of patients remaining in the study at the corresponding time point. NRI used the number of patients remaining in the study at the corresponding time point and those who withdrew before the time point but would have reached the time point if they had stayed.3

In the NRI analysis of a subset of patients in clinical remission at Week 52 and had continuous ZEPOSIA exposure, 53% (n=30/57) were in clinical remission at Week 98 (Week 46 of OLE).2

For all patients in OLE (N=823)3:

  • In the OC analysis, 45% of patients were in clinical remission at 46 weeks post-OLE entry
  • In the NRI analysis, 28% of patients were in clinical remission at 46 weeks post-OLE entry
  • aClinical remission is defined as: rectal bleeding subscore (RBS)=0, stool frequency subscore (SFS) 0 or 1 (and a decrease of ≥1 point from baseline SFS), and endoscopy subscore 0 or 1 without friability.1
  • bTreatment difference (adjusted for stratification factors of prior TNFi exposure and corticosteroid use at baseline).1
  • cTreatment difference (adjusted for stratification factors of clinical remission and concomitant corticosteroid use at Week 10).1
  • dData cutoff of September 30, 2020.3

A total of 823 patients from TRUE NORTH entered the TRUE NORTH OLE as of the cut-off date (September 30, 2020). Mean ZEPOSIA exposure in the OLE was 1.5 years.3,4

Clinical remission, clinical response, endoscopic improvement, and corticosteroid (CS)-free remission were evaluated at Week 46 for all patients who entered the OLE from the TRUE NORTH parent study and in a subset of patients in clinical response at Week 52 and had continuous ZEPOSIA exposure.2,3

Data were analyzed in the ITT population using OC and NRI. OC used the number of patients remaining in the study at the corresponding time point. NRI used the number of patients remaining in the study at the corresponding time point and those who withdrew before the time point but would have reached the time point if they had stayed.3

In the NRI analysis of a subset of patients in clinical response at Week 52 and had continuous ZEPOSIA exposure, 64% (n=61/95) were in clinical response at Week 98 (Week 46 of OLE).2

For all patients in OLE (N=823)3:

  • fSymptomatic response is defined as: a decrease from baseline of ≥1 point and ≥30% in the adapted partial Mayo score (sum of the RBS, SFS, and Physician Global Assessment subscore, ranging from 0-9 points) and a decrease of ≥1 point from baseline in RBS or an absolute RBS ≤1 point from baseline.5
  • gData are based on the nonresponder imputation.5
  • hSymptomatic remission is defined as: RBS=0 point and SFS ≤1 point (and a decrease of ≥1 from the baseline SFS).5

This analysis examined ZEPOSIA efficacy in patients from TRUE NORTH who were treated with double-blind ZEPOSIA but did not achieve clinical response at Week 10 and subsequently continued ZEPOSIA in the OLE (N=150) and observed extended treatment with ZEPOSIA for an additional 10 weeks.6

Efficacy analyses of symptomatic response were not prespecified.6

  • gData are based on the nonresponder imputation.6
  • iSymptomatic clinical response is defined as a reduction from baseline in the partial Mayo score of ≥1 point and ≥30% and a ≥1-point decrease in RBS or absolute RBS ≤1.6
