Abstract
Introduction: Upadacitinib (UPA) is an oral, selective JAK inhibitor investigated for treatment of several immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, including ulcerative colitis (UC). Safety and efficacy of UPA in patients (pts) with moderately to severely active UC were studied in the phase 3 induction trials, U-ACHIEVE (NCT02819635) and U-ACCOMPLISH (NCT03653026). We assessed early (week 2) symptomatic improvement and decrease in biomarkers of inflammation during induction therapy with UPA 45 mg once daily (QC) compared with placebo (PBO). Methods: In the multicentre, double-blind, PBO-controlled U-ACHIEVE and U-ACCOMPLISH trials, pts with moderately to severely active UC were randomized 2:1 to UPA 45 mg QD or PBO for 8 weeks. This analysis evaluated the proportions of pts with clinical remission (per partial Mayo score), clinical response (per partial Mayo score), stool frequency subscore (SFS) ≤1, and rectal bleeding subscore (RBS) of 0, as well as change from baseline in fecal calprotectin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) at week 2 with UPA vs PBO. Statistical comparison between the two groups was performed according to the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test adjusted for baseline corticosteroid use (yes or no), baseline Adapted Mayo score (≤7 or >7), according to prior biologic response (bio-IR, biologic inadequate response/bio failure; non-bio-IR, nonbiologic inadequate response/non-bio-failure). Results: As early as week 2, a significantly higher proportion of pts who received UPA achieved clinical remission per partial Mayo score (23%) compared with PBO (5%; treatment difference, [95% CI]: 17.4 [11.8, 23.1]; P < 0.001) in U-ACHIEVE. Results were similar in U-ACCOMPLISH at week 2: UPA (31%) versus PBO (3%); treatment difference (95% CI): 26.5 (20.9, 32.1; P < 0.001). Similarly, higher proportions of pts receiving UPA 45 mg QD achieved other efficacy endpoints, including clinical response, SFS ≤1 and RBS = 0, at week 2 vs PBO (Table 1). Significant decreases from baseline in markers of inflammation (fecal calprotectin and hsCRP levels) were also observed with UPA vs PBO in both trials (Table 1). Safety was comparable with the known safety profile of UPA, and no new safety signals were identified. Conclusion: UPA 45 mg QD achieved rapid improvement in both symptomatic and objective biomarker measures as early as week 2 compared with PBO in pts with moderately to severely active UC. The results demonstrate rapid onset of treatment effect with UPA.Table 1.: Baseline Clinical Characteristics of Patients with Perianal Crohn's Disease

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
