About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Inflammation

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 64 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of ulcerative colitis for at least 3 months from the time of initial diagnosis. The diagnosis must have been confirmed by historical endoscopy and histology. The severity of disease must have been confirmed by endoscopy at screening
  • Currently receiving oral aminosalicylates at approved doses of at least 2g/day for at least 6 weeks. Doses of oral aminosalicylates should be stable for at least two weeks prior to dosing (Visit 2)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of UC limited to the rectum (ulcerative proctitis only, defined as less than 15 cm from the anal verge)
  • Requiring hospitalisation for current episode of severe UC
  • Use of biologic therapies for the treatment of UC within 12 weeks prior to dosing (Visit 2)
  • Treatment failures to anti-tumour necrosis factor-alfa (anti-TNF-a) agents (e.g. infliximab, adalimumab)
  • Use of immunosuppressant agents (e.g. azathioprine) within 4 weeks prior to dosing (Visit 2)
  • Use of corticosteroids (oral, intravenous (i.v.), intramuscular (i.m.), or rectal ) within 14 days prior to dosing (Visit 2)
  • Use of enemas (corticosteroid or aminosalicylate) within 14 days prior to screening (Visit 1)
  • Use of cyclosporine, tacrolimus, D-penicillamine, leflunomide, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil, or thalidomide within 4 weeks prior to dosing (Visit 2)
  • Currently receiving total parenteral nutrition

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Endoscopic Remission Defined as a Modified Baron Score of 0
The primary endpoint was the binary variable ("responder" vs. "non-responder") where "responders" were the subjects with endoscopic remission (endoscopic mucosal healing) at Week 8, defined as a modified Baron score of 0. Subjects with a modified Baron score ≥1 were designated as "non-responders".

Secondary Outcome Measures

Remission (Clinical and Endoscopic)
Analysis of responders defined by a clinical component of: ulcerative colitis disease activity index (UC-DAI) score of less than or equal to 1 with 0 for rectal bleeding and 0 for stool frequency and an endoscopic component of: no mucosal friability (modified Baron score less than or equal to 1).
Number of Adverse Events (AEs)
Number of adverse events reported from the first trial-related activity, after the subject was exposed to the trial drug, until the end of the post-treatment follow-up period.
Clearance (CL) of rFXIII
The volume of plasma cleared of the drug per unit time.
Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of rFXIII
The peak plasma concentration of the drug after dose administration.
