Abstract Background Etrasimod is an oral, once-daily (QD), selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Cumulative safety data of up to 4 years of etrasimod exposure in the global UC clinical programme have been reported.1 We present the long-term efficacy of etrasimod 2 mg QD through 2 years in the ongoing ELEVATE UC open-label extension (OLE) study (NCT03950232), stratified by prior biologic/Janus kinase inhibitor (bio/JAKi) exposure. Methods The OLE enrolled patients from five parent studies (Figure). Efficacy endpoints were evaluated at Weeks 52 and 104 of the OLE, and included clinical remission, clinical response, endoscopic improvement, symptomatic response and symptomatic remission. Endpoints were assessed among bio/JAKi-naïve and -experienced patients (as defined at parent study baseline) who entered the OLE as clinical responders (data cut-off: June 20, 2024). Data are reported using observed cases with corresponding modified nonresponder imputation (mNRI) rates. Results Data from 390 etrasimod-treated patients were included (bio/JAKi naïve: n = 287; bio/JAKi experienced: n = 103). Among bio/JAKi-naïve patients, at Weeks 52 and 104 of the OLE, respectively, clinical response rates were 90.4% (mNRI: 76.7%) and 87.1% (63.9%), clinical remission rates were 55.8% (47.3%) and 52.7% (38.7%), endoscopic improvement rates were 63.9% (53.7%) and 63.3% (45.3%), symptomatic response rates were 96.6% (79.9%) and 95.4% (68.2%) and symptomatic remission rates were 82.5% (68.2%) and 76.0% (54.4%). Results were similar among bio/JAKi-experienced patients (Table); at Weeks 52 and 104 of the OLE, respectively, clinical remission rates were 57.7% (43.7%) and 55.0% (33.0%) and endoscopic improvement rates were 67.6% (46.6%) and 64.8% (35.0%). Conclusion Etrasimod demonstrated durable efficacy through 2 years of treatment in the OLE across clinical, endoscopic and symptomatic outcomes in patients with UC with and without prior bio/JAKi exposure. This study is ongoing with future data readouts expected. Reference: 1. Vermeire S et al. J Crohns Colitis 2025; 19: i119–i121.
