MANTA Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: FilgotinibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants received filgotinib up to Week 13 in the DB phase (Part A). At Week 13, participants who were IBD responders, without meeting pre-specified sperm decrease thresholds, continued DB treatment up to Week 26 (Part B). Participants who were IBD non-responders at Week 13 or had disease worsening after Week 13 and prior to Week 26, and whose sperm parameters did not meet a prespecified decrease threshold, entered the OL Phase and received OL filgotinib for up to Week 13. At Week 26/OL Week 13, participants who were IBD responders and who had not experienced disease worsening, and whose sperm parameters did not meet a prespecified decrease threshold, continued receiving the same study drug they were responding to as part of the LTE for up to 195 weeks. Participants who met pre-specified sperm decrease threshold(s) at any postbaseline visit discontinued study drug and switched to a standard of care (SOC) regimen selected by the investigator and entered the MP for up to 52 weeks.
Group II: PlaceboPlacebo Group2 Interventions
Participants received placebo (matched to filgotinib) up to Week 13 in the DB phase (Part A). At Week 13, participants who were IBD responders, without meeting pre-specified sperm decrease thresholds, continued DB treatment up to Week 26 (Part B). Participants who were IBD non-responders at Week 13 or had disease worsening after Week 13 and prior to Week 26, and whose sperm parameters did not meet a prespecified decrease threshold, entered the OL Phase and received OL filgotinib for up to Week 13. At Week 26/OL Week 13, participants who were IBD responders and who had not experienced disease worsening, and whose sperm parameters did not meet a prespecified decrease threshold, continued receiving the same study drug they were responding to as part of the LTE for up to 195 weeks. Participants who met pre-specified sperm decrease threshold(s) at any postbaseline visit discontinued study drug and switched to SOC regimen selected by the investigator and entered the MP for up to 52 weeks.
