S722 Efficacy and Safety of Upadacitinib in Patients With Moderate to Severe Active Ulcerative Colitis Receiving 16 Weeks Extended Induction Treatment Followed by 52 Weeks Maintenance Treatment in U-ACHIEVE/U-ACCOMPLISH Trials

Introduction: This analysis evaluated efficacy and safety of UPA after extended induction treatment(UPA 45mg QD for 16 wks) and subsequent maintenance treatment(UPA 15mg QD or UPA 30mg QD for 52 wks). Methods: Patients who did not achieve clinical response(Adapted Mayo score decrease ≥2 points and ≥30% from baseline, plus ≥1 point decrease in rectal bleeding score [RBS] or absolute RBS ≤1) following initial 8 weeks (wks) UPA 45mg once daily (QD) treatment in induction trials were eligible to receive additional 8-wk, open-label extended treatment with UPA 45mg QD. Patients with clinical response following completion of the extended induction(Wk 16) were re-randomized 1:1 to UPA 15mg QD or UPA 30mg QD in U-ACHIEVE Maintenance trial(NCT02819635). Results: Of patients who received UPA 45mg QD in the induction trials, 125 did not achieve clinical response at 8 wks and received further 8 wks induction treatment. At Wk 16, 73/125(58.4%) subsequently responded and were re-randomized to maintenance UPA 15mg QD or UPA 30mg QD. Among 16-wk responders who entered the maintenance trial, a greater proportion of patients who received UPA 30mg QD vs UPA 15mg QD achieved the primary endpoint of clinical remission at 52 wks(43.6% vs 26.5%, respectively), and secondary endpoints of clinical response(78.1% vs 49.1%, respectively) and endoscopic improvement(51.3% vs 34.3%, respectively) at 52 wks (Table). A similar pattern was seen across clinical, endoscopic, and histologic endpoints (Table). At Wk 52, the proportions of patients with serious adverse events(AEs) were 2.9% with UPA 15mg QD and 10.0% with UPA 30mg QD. Selected AEs of special interest with UPA 15mg QD and UPA 30mg QD included serious infection(2.9% vs 5.0% of patients, respectively), herpes zoster(0% vs 5.0%, respectively), adjudicated major adverse cardiovascular events(0% vs 2.5%, respectively), and non-melanoma skin cancer(NMSC; 0% vs 2.5%, respectively). No adjudicated venous thromboembolic events or cases of malignancy excluding NMSC were reported with UPA doses. Conclusion: Extended induction treatment for further 8 wks with UPA 45mg QD induced response in over half of patients with UC who did not achieve a response after 8 wks. The benefit of maintenance therapy in delayed responders was shown with both UPA doses, though UPA 30mg QD provided greater benefit than UPA 15mg QD. UPA was well tolerated with no new safety signals and selected AEs of special interest were reported infrequently with both maintenance doses.
