Of the 104 patients who entered the open-label period, 57 (54.8%) continued to the end of the open-label period and 47 (45.2%) discontinued brazikumab. The most common reasons for discontinuation were lack of response (14.4%), patient decision (12.5%), and TEAEs (11.5%). In total, 44 (84.6%) in the group switching from placebo to brazikumab (placebo/brazikumab) and 43 (82.7%) in the group continuing brazikumab (brazikumab/brazikumab) experienced 1 or more TEAEs. Most TEAEs were mild-to-moderate in severity. Common TEAEs included nasopharyngitis and headache. Numbers of treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TESAEs) were similar between groups. Infections occurred in 40.4% of patients in the placebo/brazikumab group and 50% in the brazikumab/brazikumab group. There were 5 TESAEs of infection, none of which were opportunistic. No major adverse cardiac events, malignancies, or deaths were reported.
