S1164 Bowel Urgency and Abdominal Pain in Patients With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis in the Etrasimod ELEVATE UC Clinical Program: A Post Hoc Analysis

Introduction: Abdominal pain (AP) and bowel urgency (BU) are ulcerative colitis (UC) symptoms that result in quality of life impairment.1 Etrasimod is an investigational, oral, once-daily, selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P)1,4,5 receptor modulator in development for the treatment of moderately to severely active UC. Efficacy was demonstrated in the ELEVATE UC clinical program. Methods: The treatment effect of etrasimod vs placebo (PBO) on AP and BU was assessed as a post hoc analysis of the ELEVATE UC program. In ELEVATE UC 52 (NCT03945188) and ELEVATE UC 12 (NCT03996369), patients (pts) were randomized 2:1 to once-daily etrasimod 2 mg or PBO. ELEVATE UC 52 had a treat-through design with a 12-week (wk) induction followed by a 40-wk maintenance period. ELEVATE UC 12 was a 12-wk induction study. In both trials, AP and BU data were assessed as pt-reported outcomes (PROs) at baseline (BL), Wks12 (both trials) and 52 (ELEVATE UC 52 only) using two 11-point numeric rating scales (NRS). The NRSs measured the worst AP and the severity of urgency to have a bowel movement in the past 24 hours and ranged from 0 (no pain or urgency) to 10 (pain as bad as can imagine or worst possible urgency). Endpoints included AP NRS=0, and, for pts with BL BU score ≥ 3: BU NRS clinically meaningful improvement (≥ 3 point decrease from BL) or remission (BU NRS ≤ 1).2 Results: At BL, the mean NRS scores ranged from 4.2 to 4.6 for AP and from 6.4 to 6.8 for BU across treatment arms and studies (Table 1). Significantly greater proportions of etrasimod- vs PBO-treated pts had no AP at Wk12 (ELEVATE UC 12: 33.2% vs 18.1%; ELEVATE UC 52: 27.7% vs 15.3%) and Wk52 (ELEVATE UC 52: 22.8% vs 10.4%) (all P< 0.01; Table 1). Similarly, significantly greater proportions of etrasimod- vs PBO-treated pts had no BU in both trials at Wk12 (18.1% vs 9.8%; 16.9% vs 6.7%, all P< 0.05), the difference did not meet statistical significance at Wk52 (ELEVATE UC 52: 17.3% vs 10.1%, P=0.0573; Table 1). In both trials, a significantly greater proportion of etrasimod- vs PBO-treated pts reported a BU NRS score of ≤ 1 and a decrease from BL of ≥ 3 points at Wk12 (both ELEVATE UC trials) and Wk52 (ELEVATE UC 52; all P< 0.05; Figure 1). Conclusion: Etrasimod improved AP and BU scores compared to PBO; a numerically greater proportion of etrasimod-treated pts reported no AP or no BU or had clinically meaningful decreases in BU at Wks12 and 52.
