Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Must have the ability to understand and sign a written form (ICF), which must be obtained prior to initiation of study procedures associated with this trial
  • Must have enrolled in Gilead-sponsored UC parent protocol GS US 418-3898 or any other Gilead/Galapagos-sponsored filgotinib treatment study for UC
  • Must have completed all required procedures or met protocol-specified efficacy discontinuation criteria in a prior filgotinib treatment study for UC
  • Females of must have a negative pregnancy test at Day 1
  • Female individuals of childbearing potential who engage in heterosexual intercourse must agree to use protocol specified method(s) of for the duration described
  • Willingness to refrain from live or attenuated vaccines during the study and for 12 weeks after last dose of study drug

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known to the study drug
  • Any chronic medical condition (including, but not limited to, cardiac or pulmonary disease, alcohol or drug abuse) that, in the opinion of the Investigator or sponsor, would make the subject unsuitable for the study or would prevent compliance with the study protocol
  • Females of who are unwilling to abide by protocol-specified contraceptive methods as defined
  • Use of prohibited medications as outlined in the protocol

NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/ Exclusion criteria may apply.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Reproductive potential

Able to have children. For women this usually means from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery; for men, unless permanently sterile. Read who the line is about — participants, women, men, or their partners.

Criteria about it usually ask for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
