Study designs: U-ACHIEVE Induction (UC-1) and U-ACCOMPLISH (UC-2) were replicate induction studies, both of which were multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies. In UC-1 and UC-2, 988 patients (473 and 515 patients, respectively) were randomized to RINVOQ 45 mg QD or placebo for 8 weeks with a 2:1 treatment allocation ratio and included in the efficacy analysis. All enrolled patients had moderately to severely active UC defined as aMs of 5 to 9 with an ESS of 2 or 3 and demonstrated prior treatment failure including inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to prior conventional and/or biologic treatment. U-ACHIEVE Maintenance (UC-3) was a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study with 451 patients who achieved clinical response per aMs (decrease ≥2 points and ≥30% from baseline and a decrease in RBS ≥1 from baseline or an absolute RBS ≤1) with 8-week RINVOQ 45 mg QD induction treatment. Patients were rerandomized 1:1:1 to receive either RINVOQ 15 mg QD, 30 mg QD, or placebo.1,2

RINVOQ is an oral, once daily, selective and reversible JAK inhibitor now approved for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have had an inadequate response, lost response or were intolerant to either conventional therapy or a biologic agent.1

RINVOQ can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food. Tablets should be swallowed whole and should not be split, crushed, or chewed in order to ensure the entire dose is delivered correctly.1

A Phase 3 clinical trial program involving 3 studies: 2 replicate induction studies and 1 maintenance study evaluated RINVOQ 45 mg QD vs placebo for induction and RINVOQ 15 mg QD and 30 mg QD vs placebo for maintenance treatment.1,2
