For the Induction and Maintenance Cohorts, events that occurred >28 days after the last dose of the study drug were excluded; for the Overall [Dec 2016] and Overall plus P3b/4 [2020] Cohorts, all events, including those outside the 28-day risk period, were included.

aData are reported for all AEs by preferred term, which occurred in ≥10% of patients in a treatment group in the Overall plus P3b/4 [2020] Cohort.

bData for the Induction, Maintenance and Overall [Dec 2016] Cohorts were previously reported by Sandborn et al.7

cThe previously reported Overall [Dec 2016] Cohort included data from OCTAVE Open up to December 2016 [≤4.4 years of exposure].

dThe Overall plus P3b/4 [2020] Cohort includes final data from OCTAVE Open [final data cut-off: August 24, 2020], and data from RIVETING [interim data cut-off: February 20, 2020; ≤7.8 years of exposure].

AE, adverse event; BID, twice daily; N, number of patients treated in the treatment group; n, number of unique patients in the specified category; PD, predominant dose; UC, ulcerative colitis.
