Clinical remission [CR] was defined as having a modified UC-DAI stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0. Mucosal healing [MH] was defined as having a mucosal appearance subscore of 0 or 1. Deepened clinical remission [dCR] was defined as having a stool frequency subscore of 0 and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0. Deepened mucosal healing [dMH] was defined as having a mucosal appearance subscore of 0. 95% confidence interval [CI] was calculated for remission rate by treatment group [Clopper–Pearson] or for the difference of remission rates between groups. p-value was calculated from Farrington–Manning test [one-sided] with non-inferiority margin = 10%.
