aClinical response was defined as a decrease from baseline in the Mayo score ≥ 30% and ≥ 3 points, accompanied by either a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1 or a decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore ≥ 1.

bMucosal healing was defined as a Mayo endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1.

cClinical remission was defined as a Mayo score ≤ 2 points, with no individual subscore > 1.
