6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
The safety of VELSIPITY 2 mg once daily in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis was evaluated in two randomized, placebo-controlled studies of 52 weeks (UC-1) and 12 weeks (UC-2) duration [see Clinical Studies (14) ].
Additional safety data were obtained from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose-finding study of 12 weeks duration (UC-3).
In the 52-week study (UC-1), 433 subjects were enrolled of whom 289 received VELSIPITY 2 mg once daily.
In the 12-week studies (UC-2 and UC-3), 458 subjects were enrolled of whom 288 received VELSIPITY 2 mg once daily.
Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions reported in at least 2% of subjects and at a higher rate than placebo during UC-1.
