About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Ulcerative Colitis focused on measuring ABX464, Ulcerative Colitis
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
A subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if ALL of the following criteria apply:
- Subjects previously enrolled in the ABX464-101 clinical study who have completed the initial 2-month treatment phase;
- Subjects able and willing to comply with study visits and procedures;
Subjects with hematological and biochemical laboratory parameters as follows at the D56 visit of the ABX464-101 study:
- Hemoglobin > 9.0 g dL-1;
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 750 mm-3;
- Platelets ≥ 100,000 mm-3;
- Total serum creatinine ≤ 1.3 x ULN (upper limit of normal);
- Creatinine clearance > 50 mL min-1 by the Cockcroft-Gault equation;
- Total serum bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN;
- Alkaline phosphatase, AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) < 1.5 x ULN;
- Subjects should understand, sign and date the written voluntary informed consent form at the enrolment visit prior to any protocol-specific procedures being performed;
- Subjects should be affiliated to a social security regimen (for French sites only);
- Females and males receiving the study treatment and their partners must agree to use a highly effective contraceptive method during the study and for 3 months after end of study or early termination. Contraception should be in place at least 3 months prior to study participation. Women must be either postmenopausal (at least 12 months of amenorrhea), surgically sterile or if of childbearing potential must use a highly effective contraceptive method. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) will enter the study after confirmed menstrual period and a negative pregnancy test. Highly effective methods of contraception include: true abstinence, intrauterine device (IUD), intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), hormonal contraception (estrogen and progestogen or progestogen only) associated with inhibition of ovulation, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner. True abstinence is defined when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. In each case of delayed menstrual period (over one month between menstruations) confirmation of absence of pregnancy is required. This recommendation also applies to WOCBP with infrequent or irregular menstrual cycle.
Exclusion Criteria:
The following criterion should be checked at the time of screening. If this exclusion criterion applies, the subject will not be included in the study:
▪ Any condition, which in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the subject's safety or the adherence to the study protocol.
