Key clinical point: Filgotinib 200 mg once daily for up to 58 weeks effectively induced and maintained clinical remission (CR) and was well tolerated compared with placebo in both biologic-naive and biologic-experienced patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.

Major finding: CR was achieved by a greater proportion of patients treated with filgotinib 200 mg vs. placebo in both biologic-naïve (absolute difference [AD], 10.8%; P = .0157) and biologic-experienced (AD, 7.2%; P = .0103) patients at weeks 10 and 58 (AD, 26.0%; P less than .0001). Incidence of adverse events of interest and serious adverse events was similar across treatment arms.

Study details: Findings are from phase 2b/3 SELECTION trial involving 659 biologic-naive and 689 biologic-experienced patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis randomly allocated to oral filgotinib 200 mg, filgotinib 100 mg, or placebo once daily.

Disclosures: The study was funded by Gilead Sciences. Some of the authors declared receiving grants, personal/consultancy fees, travel expense and/or non-financial support from; being an employee of; and/or holding stocks of various sources including Gilead Sciences.
