Phase 2 Trial of Anti-TL1A Monoclonal Antibody Tulisokibart for Ulcerative Colitis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Tulisokibart is a tumor necrosis factor-like cytokine 1A (TL1A) monoclonal antibody in development for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. A genetic-based diagnostic test was designed to identify patients with an increased likelihood of response. METHODS: We randomly assigned patients with glucocorticoid dependence or failure of conventional or advanced therapies for ulcerative colitis to receive intravenous tulisokibart (1000 mg on day 1 and 500 mg at weeks 2, 6, and 10) or placebo. Cohort 1 included patients regardless of status with respect to the test for likelihood of response. Cohort 2 included only patients with a positive test for likelihood of response. The primary analysis was performed in cohort 1; the primary end point was clinical remission at week 12. Patients with a positive test for likelihood of response from cohorts 1 and 2 were combined in prespecified analyses. RESULTS: In cohort 1, a total of 135 patients underwent randomization. A significantly higher percentage of patients who received tulisokibart had clinical remission than those who received placebo (26% vs. 1%; difference, 25 percentage points; 95% confidence interval [CI], 14 to 37; P<0.001). In cohort 2, a total of 43 patients underwent randomization. A total of 75 patients with a positive test for likelihood of response underwent randomization across both cohorts. Among patients with a positive test for likelihood of response (cohorts 1 and 2 combined), clinical remission occurred in a higher percentage of patients who received tulisokibart than in those who received placebo (32% vs. 11%; difference, 21 percentage points; 95% CI, 2 to 38; P = 0.02). Among all the enrolled patients, the incidence of adverse events was similar in the tulisokibart and placebo groups; most adverse events were mild to moderate in severity. CONCLUSIONS: In this short-term trial, tulisokibart was more effective than placebo in inducing clinical remission in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
