Outcomes

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Males and females, 18 years of age or older.

- Only 1 prior treatment course with visilizumab (or placebo in a blinded visilizumab
study).

- Response (as defined in parent protocol) of intravenous steroid-refractory ulcerative
colitis (IVSR-UC) disease to visilizumab or placebo.

- Symptomatic worsening (ie, an increase of =3 points in MTWSI score) from the subject's
best response on the parent study, an MTWSI score of =9, sustained for at least 2
assessments performed at least 1 week apart, and a confirmatory MTWSI =8 within 1 day
prior to randomization.

- CD4^+ T-cell count = 200 cells/mcL at screening for this protocol, or = 80% of the
subject's screening baseline count prior to enrollment on the parent study.

- Mayo assessment (including flexible sigmoidoscopy) performed by a trained, blinded
evaluating physician within 2 weeks prior to randomization.

- Adequate contraception from the day of consent through 3 months after the last dose of
study drug.

- Negative serum pregnancy test.

- Negative Clostridium difficile test.

- Signed and dated informed consent, and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA) if applicable.
Minimum age

Maximum age
No limit
Sex

Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- UC requiring immediate surgical, endoscopic, or radiologic interventions.

- White blood cell count less than 2.5 x 10^3/mcL; platelet count less than 150 x
10^3/mcL; or hemoglobin less than 8 g/dL.

- Active, medically significant infections, particularly those of viral etiology, eg,
known cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis. This includes any incidence of opportunistic
infections within the past 12 months.

- Live vaccination within 6 weeks prior to randomization.

- Significant organ dysfunction, including cardiac, renal, liver, CNS, pulmonary,
vascular, gastrointestinal, endocrine, or laboratory abnormality, history of
myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, or
arrhythmias within 6 months prior to consent.

- History of lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) or malignancy other than nonmelanoma
skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix that has been adequately treated within
the past five years.

- Seropositive for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), hepatitis B
virus (HBV) surface antigen, or hepatitis C virus (HCV).

- Pregnancy or nursing.

- Treatment with any other UC salvage drugs (including but not limited to infliximab or
another anti-TNF-a drug, cyclosporine, tacrolimus [FK506], adalimumab, thalidomide, or
another experimental agent), or therapies (surgery, pheresis, affinity columns) since
the first course of treatment with study drug in the parent visilizumab study.

- Treatment with any other investigational drug or therapy within 60 days prior to
randomization.

- Nontherapeutic levels of chronic antiseizure medications in subjects with a history of
seizures.

- Any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, makes the subject unsuitable for
study participation.
