Fig. 1 Sigmoidoscopic inflammation grade. The adjusted mean changes from baseline show the improvement in inflammation grade for each treatment arm at each evaluated time point. Budesonide enema at 2.0 mg significantly improved sigmoidoscopic inflammation after 4 weeks (**P ≤ vs. placebo) and 6 weeks (***P ≤ vs. placebo). Budesonide enema at 8.0 mg significantly improved sigmoidoscopic inflammation after 2, 4, and 6 weeks (***P ≤ vs. placebo).

Fig. 2 Total histopathology score at week 6. Mean change from baseline showing the improvement in total histopathology score (the sum of the active and chronic inflammation and crypt distortion components). Budesonide enema at 2.0 and 8.0 mg significantly improved total histopathology scores after 6 weeks of treatment (*P ≤ vs. placebo and ***P ≤ vs. placebo, respectively).

Fig. 3 Percent of patients in remission (primary definition). After 6 weeks of treatment, both budesonide enema at 2.0 mg and 8.0 mg induced remission in a higher percentage of patients compared with placebo (*P ≤ and ***P ≤ 0.001, respectively). For week 6, 95% confidence intervals are shown in parentheses. Remission was defined as including all of the following during the 2 days before physician visit: three or less bowel movements per day; no blood in stool; no symptoms of urgency, abdominal pain, or painful evacuations; and sigmoidoscopic inflammation grade of 0.

Fig. 4 Total investigator assessment of ulcerative colitis symptom score. Mean change from baseline showing improvement in the sum of the ulcerative colitis symptom score (sum of diarrhea, abdominal pain, intermittent tenesmus, and rectal bleeding). Budesonide enema at 0.5 mg significantly improved ulcerative colitis symptom scores at week 2 and week 6 (*P ≤ 0.050) compared with placebo. Budesonide enema at 2.0 mg and 8.0 mg significantly improved colitis symptom scores at week 2 (**P ≤ and ***P ≤ 0.001, respectively) and week 4 and week 6 (***P ≤ 0.001) compared with placebo.
