  1. Diagnosis with ulcerative colitis(according to the second European evidence-based consensus on the diagnosis and management of ulcerative colitis);
  2. Disease remission of ulcerative colitis(a total Mayo Clinic score of 2 points or less and an endoscopic score of 1 point or less);

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Annual Recurrence Rate

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Disease exacerbation rate measured by Mayo Clinic disease activity index scores
    The primary analysis is disease exacerbation through day 14 among patients who underwent randomization, had Mayo Clinic disease activity index scores at the baseline and final assessments. Disease exacerbation is defined as a total Mayo Clinic score of 5 points or more and an increase in the endoscopic score of 1 point or more.
    Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.03

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The research aim to find out whether berberine can reduce the annual recurrence rate of ulcerative colitis in remission. A total of 238 patients with ulcerative colitis in remission will be randomly divided into two groups.One will receive regular treatment,and the other group will receive extra oral berberine 300 mg three times daily for a year. The end of the study for every patient is disease recurrence(Mayo Clinic score of 3 points or more ). The primary analysis is annual recurrence rate, and both endoscopy and Mayo Clinic disease activity index scores at the baseline and final assessments.
