Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject has provided written informed consent/Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization prior to any study-related procedures;
  • Subject has current mild to moderately active ulcerative colitis, defined as a PUCAI score of 10-60.
  • Subject is ≥ 4 years old and <18 years old at the time of enrollment.

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Clinical Remission
    Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index score <10 and no additional therapy or colectomy). The PUCAI is scored from 0-85, lower numbers indicate less severe disease activity.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Change in osteocalcin, P1NP, CTX
    Bone biomarkers
    Cushingoid appearance
    Physician reported, yes or no
    Week 8 response
    Decrease in PUCAI score by 20 points or more (lower scores indicate less severe disease activity)
    Change in Mayo Score Stool Frequency subscore
    Score ranges from 0-3, with lower scores indicating less severe disease activity
    Change in Mayo rectal bleeding score
    Scores range from 0-3, with lower scores indicating less severe disease activity
    Mayo Score Stool Frequency subscore of 0 or 1
