Open or close this module Study Description
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ustekinumab as intravenous (IV: into the vein) infusion in induction study in participants with moderately to severely active Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and as subcutaneous (SC) administration in maintenance study in participants with moderately to severely active Ulcerative Colitis (UC) who have demonstrated a clinical response to Induction treatment with IV ustekinumab.
Detailed Description: This is a Phase 3, randomized (assignment of study drug by chance), double-blind (neither the participant or study staff will know the identity of study drugs), placebo-controlled (placebo is an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial), parallel-group (a medical research study comparing the response in 2 or more groups of participants receiving different interventions), multi-center (more than one clinical site will work on a medical research study), protocol of ustekinumab. The protocol will consist of 2 studies: an Induction study and a Maintenance study with unique endpoints. Screening period will be up to 8 Weeks. Induction study will be at least 8 weeks duration for each participant. Participant with clinical response in the Induction study will be eligible for the Maintenance study. The Maintenance study will be 44 weeks duration. After completion of the maintenance study, a long term extension will follow eligible participants for an additional 3 years. Clinical remission will be evaluated at Week 8 in the Induction study. Clinical remission among ustekinumab Induction responders will be evaluated at week 44 in the Maintenance study. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout.

Open or close this module Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures:
1. Induction Study - Number of Participants With Clinical Remission
[ Time Frame: Week 8 ]

The global definition of Clinical remission is defined as Mayo score less than or equal to (<=) 2 points, with no individual subscore greater than (>) 1, for countries outside the United States (US). For the US, Clinical remission is defined as absolute stool number <=3, a rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and a Mayo endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1. The Mayo score is a tool designed to measure disease activity for ulcerative colitis. The Mayo score ranges from 0 to 12 points and consists of 4 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, findings on flexible sigmoidoscopy and physician's global assessment), each subscore is graded from 0 to 3 with the higher score indicating more severe disease activity.
2. Maintenance Study - Number of Participants with Clinical Remission Among Participants in Clinical Response to IV Ustekinumab Induction Treatment
[ Time Frame: Week 44 ]

The global definition of Clinical remission is defined as Mayo score less than or equal to (<=) 2 points, with no individual subscore greater than (>) 1, for countries outside the United States (US). For the US Clinical remission is defined as absolute stool number <=3, a rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and a Mayo endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1. The Mayo score is a tool designed to measure disease activity for ulcerative colitis. The Mayo score ranges from 0 to 12 points and consists of 4 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, findings on flexible sigmoidoscopy and physician's global assessment), each subscore is graded from 0 to 3 with the higher score indicating more severe disease activity.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
1. Induction Study - Number of Participants with Clinical Response
[ Time Frame: Week 8 ]

Clinical response is defined as a decreased from Induction baseline in the Mayo score by greater than or equal to (>=) 30 percent (%) and >=3 points, with either a decrease from induction baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore >=1 or rectal bleeding subscore = 0 or 1.
2. Induction Study - Number of Participants With Endoscopic Healing
[ Time Frame: Week 8 ]

Endoscopic healing is improvement in the endoscopic appearance of the mucosa. It will be defined as Mayo endoscopic subscore = 0 or 1.
3. Induction Study - Mean Change From Baseline in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) Score
[ Time Frame: Week 8 ]

The IBDQ is a 32-item questionnaire for participants with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) that will be used to evaluate the disease-specific health-related quality of life across 4 dimensional scores: bowel (loose stools, abdominal pain), systemic (fatigue, altered sleep pattern), social (work attendance, need to cancel social events), and emotional (anger, depression, irritability). The total score ranges from 32 to 224 with higher scores indicating better quality of life.
4. Maintenance Study - Number of Participants with Clinical Response Among Participants in Clinical Response to IV Ustekinumab Induction Treatment
[ Time Frame: Through Week 44 ]

Clinical response is defined as a decreased from Induction baseline in the Mayo score by greater than or equal to (>=) 30 percent (%) and >=3 points, with either a decrease from Induction baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore >=1 or rectal bleeding subscore = 0 or 1.
5. Maintenance Study - Number of Participants with Endoscopic Healing Among Participants in Clinical Response to IV Ustekinumab Induction Treatment
[ Time Frame: Week 44 ]

Endoscopic healing is improvement in the endoscopic appearance of the mucosa. It will be defined as Mayo endoscopic subscore = 0 or 1.
6. Maintenance Study - Number of Participants with Clinical Remission Among those who Achieved Clinical Remission at Maintenance Study Baseline
[ Time Frame: Through Week 44 ]

The global definition of Clinical remission is defined as Mayo score less than or equal to (<=) 2 points, with no individual subscore greater than (>) 1, for countries outside the United States (US). For the US Clinical remission is defined as absolute stool number <=3, a rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and a Mayo endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1. The Mayo score is a tool designed to measure disease activity for ulcerative colitis.
7. Maintenance Study - Number of Participants with Clinical Remission and not Receiving Concomitant Corticosteroids Among those Receiving Concomitant Corticosteroids at Maintenance Baseline
[ Time Frame: Week 44 ]

The global definition of Clinical remission is defined as Mayo score less than or equal to (<=) 2 points, with no individual subscore greater than (>) 1, for countries outside the United States (US). For the US Clinical remission is defined as absolute stool number <=3, a rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and a Mayo endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1. The Mayo score is a tool designed to measure disease activity for ulcerative colitis.
