Study to assess the efficacy and safety of GS-5290 in adults with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis (Palekona)
Summary description of the study
The purpose of this study is to find out whether GS-5290 is effective and safe in treating individuals with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC). In the study, participants will be compared in different treatment groups with GS-5290 to individuals receiving a placebo. The individuals receiving placebo will get tablets that look like GS-5290 but contain no active ingredient. About 176 participants will be included in this study, 5 of whom will be in Switzerland. The study will be conducted at approximately 125 trial centers in around 15 countries. One trial center is located in Switzerland. The study participation will last a maximum of 52 weeks for participants who respond and 64 weeks for participants who do not respond (not including pre-examinations and follow-up). Participants may not derive any benefit from participating in this study. Participants help future patients with their participation. GS-5290 has been administered to healthy volunteers in two ongoing Phase I studies. In the first-in-human study, 42 volunteers received GS-5290 over a short period (1 day or 10 days) to determine whether it causes any undesirable or harmful side effects. Only a few side effects were reported, and all were of mild nature. Almost half of the volunteers who received GS-5290 showed increases in two substances in the blood (creatinine and bilirubin). The increases were mild to moderate without associated symptoms. The creatinine and bilirubin levels decreased after discontinuation of GS-5290.

Intervention under investigation
Patients who agree to participate in this study and meet all inclusion criteria will be assigned to a treatment and have a 25% chance of receiving GS-5290 (600 mg), a 25% chance of receiving GS-5290 (300 mg), a 25% chance of receiving GS-5290 (150 mg), and a 25% chance of receiving placebo during the first 12 weeks of the study.
Patients who respond to treatment at week 12 according to the investigator can continue the blinded treatment (neither the participant nor the doctor knows whether placebo or active substance is being taken) and will receive either 300 mg or 150 mg of GS-5290 depending on their prior assignment. If no clinical response is observed at week 12 during the blinded treatment period, patients may receive 300 mg or 600 mg of GS-5290 daily for 12 weeks depending on their prior assignment, if they agree. At week 12 of the treatment phase for non-responding participants, participants who achieve a clinical response are eligible to receive 300 mg of GS-5290 once daily until week 52, if they agree.

Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Individuals assigned male at birth, or nonpregnant, nonlactating individuals
assigned female at birth, 18 to 75 years of age based on the date of the screening
visit.
- Ulcerative colitis (UC) of at least 90-day duration before randomization confirmed
by endoscopy and histology at any time in the past AND a minimum disease extent of
15 cm from the anal verge. Documentation of endoscopy and histology consistent with
the diagnosis of UC must be available in the source documents prior to the
initiation of screening.
- Moderately to severely active UC as determined during screening with a modified Mayo
Clinic Score based on the sum of Stool Frequency, Rectal Bleeding, and Endoscopic
Finding of 5 to 9 points and an endoscopic subscore of 2 to 3 (determined by central
reader).
- Previous treatment history of approved UC therapy with at least one advanced therapy
mechanisms of action but failure (ie, loss of response or lack of response) of no
more than 3 different advanced therapy mechanisms of action.
- A surveillance colonoscopy for dysplasia is required prior to randomization if
indicated by regional guidelines for individuals with UC.
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- Current diagnosis of Crohn's Disease (CD) or diagnosis of indeterminate colitis due
to an enteric pathogen, lymphocytic or collagenous colitis.
- Individuals with disease limited to the rectum (ulcerative proctitis) during
screening endoscopy.
- Requirement for ongoing therapy with or prior use of any prohibited medications.
- Active clinically significant infection, or any infection requiring hospitalization

of randomization.
- History of opportunistic infection.
- Current diagnosis of acute severe colitis, fulminant colitis, or toxic megacolon.
