During the COVID-19 pandemic, for participants with missing endoscopy at Week 8, Week 16 or Week 52 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Studies M14-234 Substudy 2, M14-234 Substudy 3 and M14-675, participants may be enrolled if certain criteria are met.
• If female, participant must meet the contraception criteria.
• Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at Week 0 visit.

• Known hypersensitivity to upadacitinib or its excipients or had any adverse event (AE) during the preceding studies, that in the investigator's judgment makes the participant unsuitable for this study.
• Participant with an active or recurrent infection that based on the investigator's clinical assessment makes the participant an unsuitable candidate for the study. Participants with ongoing infections undergoing treatment may be enrolled BUT NOT dosed until the infection has been successfully treated.
• Current evidence of active tuberculosis (TB); current evidence of latent tuberculosis and for any reason the participant cannot take full course of TB prophylaxis treatment as required per protocol.
